To be fair, I've written countless stack overflow posts detailing my problems in hope someone would be able to spot the mistake or error only for me to realize what it was along the way and never even submitting it.

And I didn't even need a ๐Ÿฆ† for it

Education has really failed to impress upon people the importance of asking questions. It's amazing how much time is wasted on making people learn answers to questions they don't even know how to ask.

The most valuable tool I ever got (as a tutor/teacher) was Socratic Questioning. Students not only benefit from its application but it also helps to impress upon them the value (and relative skill) to asking thoughtful questions.

I don't mean to sound like a Mom for Liberty, but to my mind, the American public education system (probably others) is not about developing intelligence but rather preparing children for work and keeping them busy/safe while their parents work, and I'd argue it's not very good at its primary function. The ones who escape with curiosity, capacity, and confidence intact are woefully rare if you care about power to the people and thankfully rare if you care about keeping people easy to control.

On top of that, it doesn't even do a good job of preparing kids for work since the majority of jobs will be in a team based environment while schools focus on individual/isolated learning almost exclusively.

The modern school system was largely developed around the early 1900s with the intent of creating factory line workers: people who could remember and perform 2 or 3 repetitive tasks. This is further compounded by the rise of standardized testing, which provides a good base level for quality of subjects across the range of individual teacher's skills but has become an administrative crutch that puts test scores above everything else, leading to a cycle where kids are taught only to remember stuff long enough to pass the next test and then dump it from memory for the next set of test subjects.

Schooling needs a major revision from the ground up for the modern age.

I don't think that's why questions aren't asked. I find questions aren't asked because of ego. Nobody wants to look like they don't know things. Lots of people will judge others for asking questions. I'm a question guy and it always surprised me how other people just knew things and didn't ask questions. But I soon started to realize that they don't know as much as they want others to think. They just have a high value for more independent thinking.

Yeah, it's a well known technique in programming called "rubber duck debugging".

The process of explaining the situation forces you to think about it in a different way, which can help you with the debugging.

But, nobody actually credits the duck when it works. It's weird that this guy seems to want to credit ChatGPT

Is it just me or is this a really weird way of repeating what the OP said? He even used the duck emoji for clarity....

[โ€“] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago

You needed a duck. You used one. It didn't really look like a duck but it served the same purpose.

Consider posting the problem along with the answer.That way you can shown the right path to other people.

yeah, if it's something that other people can actually profit from I usually post it anyway, but most of the time it's "oh goddamn, there's two commas in line 72 where there should only be one" kinda stuff
