Ah, the prime example of a stack overflow user. Nice.
That's fair.
There is not much dignity in belittling others in a desperate attempt to compensate for something.
If you don't want to help others then that's ok. Move on. Just don't try to pretend you want to help.
The real question is does belittling people in Stack overflow helps you compensate for something? Because that's supposedly a venue where people help each other, but you're just there to dump your frustrations on newbies.
The prime example of a SO user is being intentionally obtuse, demanding more detail even if the typical programmer would have a pretty clear picture of what is being asked. So yeah, projection much?
And then asking, "why would you even try doing it like this?"
