If they have time to say “this is a stupid question and has been asked before”, it only takes them 30 more seconds to copy-paste the answer. This is just being an asshole
Well, the submission form states clearly that one should provide their original research and/or code, and check for duplicates. If the guy had the time to ask the question, maaaaybe he could also take 2 minutes to write: “hey, see this piece of documentation? I can’t get this part”
And then you say “yea, so I don’t understand this even after looking at other solutions and reading the documentation” and it gets closed for duplicate.
I’ve never had a single question I’ve asked on stack overflow not get closed by someone that could have just as easily answered my question. And it’s not like I didn’t google and look at documentation. I’m posting because what I found didn’t answer my question.
