Can we talk about why stackexchange sucks and share some fucking alternatives?
* tons of useful questions closed because "primarily opnion-based" or some other garbage flagging shit * rulecucks everywhere fagging up the place * can't even do absolutely basic shit until you earn some internet points * entire site revolves around fake internet points * everyone is fucking hostile all the time protecting their internet points
God damn it, I'm sick of this industry. What are some alternatives to this cancer?
Depends on the community. Some of them have a gigantic steel rod up their ass. Others are cool. But even the stiffest ones are a far better experience than Hac*er News.

>>2 Other than the insufferable faggots in the comments section, what's wrong with it? It has some interesting articles on it from time to time. Even sticking to only reading the headlines and clicking on the links, you can just feel the sociopolitical ideologies seep from your screen. But is that what you mean?

tbh its a text-based RPG where you need to farm gold by answering randomly generated quests and spend them to boost your own quests.

Stack Ogreflow
Q: How do I do [thing]?
A: Locked for being a duplicated of [not thing]. You are so dumb and I am so smart.
Should I care about stackexchange, github and other such sites? I read some threads when I have questions that books can't answer, but I never actually post. I've read that a lot of people use these sites for networking, how's that? I'm only interested in research, academia, and having a job 10 years from now; so I shouldn't have to show off my knowledge and contribute to projects I don't care about just to make contacts, right?
Look at the idiot who thinks recursive descent is "hard" and think a huge bloated parser generator is somehow the "right" way. The source for a table-driven RD parser is shorter than the idiotic "answer". The good answers are buried below amongst other crap. Retarded dogmatic cargo-cult bullshit.
