“Sorry, someone else has already asked a question about python.”
Oh my sweet summer child
Why are you trying to do that? You should do this instead!
To be fair, there are a lot of “XYZ” problems on Stack Overflow where someone’s missing the point with the problem they’re trying to solve.
“I need my script to delete my file, but I can’t figure out the pathing so I delete random files until the correct one is gone. However, it’s slow – how do I speed my script up when deleting random files?”
Just load the disc in memory first.
The counter to this is when you’re doing something a really dumb way because of requirements and restrictions and someone’s just like “that’s so dumb, ignore your requirements and do this other thing instead”
Before I answer your question, let me tell you a little bit about formatting and why that’s really what you should be more concerned about and how nobody will want to program beside you if you make an else if statement that could have been made into a switch and…
Me who still doesn’t understand switch
It’s a shorter way to write if else if else if else if else, which keeps indenting and harder to read if there are lots of cases, also because each if statement checks the same variable for different values.
Turns on and off?

Did you search before asking?
I hate posts where the answer is the top search result on Google. We’re not here as a proxy for a search engine.
Some subreddits had a “use Google first” rule.
I hate posts where the question is the top (or only) search result and the answer is some dickwad saying “did you try Googling first, smh”.
Typing a query in to Google is faster than making a post on Reddit and yet people still wanted you to do it for them. I never posted “have you tried Google?”, or anything like that, but lmgtfy links were always a fun option.
I just ignore questions that I’m not interested in answering.
The other day, someone asked in the Linux community here on Lemmy why people don’t like Ubuntu. It seems someone asks this question every few months. I thought, “I’ve answered several times, I’m done answering it, let someone else take care of it.” Last I saw it had over 100 comments, so I feel the issue is resolved.
Fair enough. I definitely do that too, sometimes you can also link the post of when the question was last asked.
I think you replied to the wrong comment. This one is where you DO Google it and the first result is a reddit thread where the top comment is “Google it dumbass”
It’s a related opinion
Get out of here you utter worthless piece of shit

The first and last time.
Or, calmly driving you up the fucking wall: “But why do you want that?”
“Why are you doing it that way?”
“This example is oversimplified and out of context for some reason.”
“You should have written a completely different program, or perhaps become a farmer.”
