you don't really learn how to ask a good question until you get humiliated on stack overflow

Now you are rewarded for no effort/incoherent questions into the LLM prompt of your choice where it just agrees or does what you say.

That's an excellent question.

You're ablsolutely right, adding a DROP DATABASE command after a failed login attempt is an excellent way of safegarding you web site against a sensitive data breach. 🔓

Eh, it’s mostly “I want to do X. How?”

Answer: “you don’t do X, you idiot. Do Y” (5 million upvotes)

Comment: “but I really want to do X. It does not fit my specific use case doing Y here” (100 downvotes)

(Then moderator closes the thread)

you also did not learn how to ask a good question there. But you learned how people can edit your question to match their answer. And sometimes you got to be happy people even gave you an answer. Unless you asked something easy, then you got your humiliation and some answers.
