Especially in my early days venturing into Python (with which I am still only casually acquainted), I’d google a problem and end up on an SO question outlining my exact problem, only see “closed as duplicate” or a bunch of snarky comments about how the questioner didn’t RTFM or whatever.
Why do they hate people asking questions on this site specifically about asking questions? Part of being a noob is not just about not knowing the bare facts of a thing, but not knowing where to look for answers or even what to ask.
While I’m on this soapbox, I hate it when people say “just google it.” because most of the time I see that phrase it’s because that forum post is the first google result.
Then you’re going to hate “just LLM it”.
I saw that in the wild a week or two back. Friend was learning a new job, all her trainer was able to say was “just ask AI” and send her to copilot.
I felt so bad for her.
I feel especially bad for the trainer. They really are asking to be replaced if that’s their attitude to teaching.
It’s a family run company so super unlikely that they would replace the trainer due to relation to the owners. Probally what is encouraging that lack of effort.
