I guess I'm not surprised that programmers don't know how to follow meme standards.
The three panels following the first one are supposed to be helping the first one.

I am altering the meme. Pray I do not alter it any further.
Senior developer here, it looks like they are helping to me.
Sending you on a side quest isnt really helping efficiently
But it is helping effectively.
It's less efficient to learn how to do something than to have somebody who knows how do it for you, but it's more effective to learn for yourself. Hard won knowledge is rarely lost.

Yeah but it's funny in a different way; they are giving ignorant and condescending advice because while big cats have impressive hunting abilities, they don't normally hunt mice.
The person you're responding to is giving advice in an ignorant and condescending way as a joke
Someone else already did. Marked as duplicate.
Part of language (which memes are a part of) is changing it to express new ideas and new forms of humor.
Is anyone going to tell them about stack overflow, or...
how dare people alter the meaning of a meme? there are meme standards for a reason!! /s
We live in a society. We have laws. And order.

“Insufficient detail. Please ask a specific question.”
“Read the wiki”
“Nobody here is interested in holding your hand.”
“Insufficient detail. Please ask a specific question.”
This is a very real problem from the answering side. So many people would rather have you guess what they're trying to ask and then get mad at you when you guess wrong.
I know whenever I try to help someone with a Linux issue it's always an uphill battle to get them to stop guessing what they think the problem might be and show me the logs.
People really don't want to give you the information you need to help them.
To be fair, people who know which logs to attach and how to get them usually already know enough to troubleshoot the issue by themselves.
This is such a hard part of learning Linux. "Just look at the logs" Which logs? Where? How?
You'd think so, but the logs often contain a ton of noise along with the one line that tells me what the actual issue is.
I make sure to give my guess and also append as many logs and exact information as possible, right down to every step I took that produced the problem.
So far my success rate with the forums is 0%. But hey, people at least tried to be helpful!

Stop, stop. It hurts, it's too real.

“Relying on humans” is open to interpretation.
For food. You know... nom nom (the humans as food I am hinting at!:-P).
I once submitted an issue to a devs GitHub. The apps login page would not load without large bg pictures loading first. I asked if he could add an option to disable it in the settings, as my self hosted site was slow.
I essentially got back, "why would I do that? It's not an issue for me! Besides the login page should load before the background picture" issue closed
😑😑😑😑
It's like you're SO CLOSE to seeing the issue.
Similar thing here. I once went to a Minecraft mod dev's discord to ask if there was a way to center the health bars that come with his mod. He basically said "you're the only person who has ever asked for this, everyone else just puts it in a corner of their screen". I feel centering is a basic feature of any adjustable UI element!
This image macro is supposed to be supportive
So was stackoverflow when it began
Can confirm, the support forum crowd are dicks
I'd rather rather run my nuts through a wringer than deal with that shit.
Hey u/wringer4u
Heyy...
It's an X Y problem. Please retell the history, starting from your birth, that led to this moment before I contemplate answering your question
Signed, somebody who would rather waste your time than answer the bloody question.
My for-profit large language model will not be stopped by your "anti commercial ai license" because it hasn't learned to read yet.
Ive seen people link that one multiple times and i am at a loss what its about.
The cc 4.0 license it points to does not mention AI at all.
CC even has a page where they state that it probably is legal to train on cc protected content but it depends on context.
https://creativecommons.org/2023/08/18/understanding-cc-licenses-and-generative-ai/
I think someone used ai to mean attribution/alike, international. Which are part of the full name (Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International) but still make little sense as an acronym next to CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 being the official acronym.
There's no point looking for logic. These people truly believe granting a licence restricts the rights of people who don't agree to the licence, which is the exact opposite of what licenses do. It's blatant misinformation but if you call them out on it (even by quoting their own link) they literally think you're an astroturfer for AI, because that makes more sense to them than the fact they're obviously wrong.
You don’t understand: these comment footers are the only thing between us and Roko's basilisk.

i am at a loss what its about.
The only thing worse than the tech-bro's worshiping AI like it's the next messiah and we all must pave way for this revolutionary technology that will only seem to benefit white Americans with disposable income, are the people on the opposite end of the spectrum who are have a hysterical hatred for LLM's because their favorite Youtube streamers are getting clicks by ranting about how bad AI is. They are not being personally impacted by AI at all but are delusional enough to think that there will be laws and regulations and that AI will be "banned" if we all "raise awareness" and it's about as useful as the Bud Lite protests but not even remotely as entertaining.
Reporter: [REDACTED]
Reason: Spam/misinformation: Not an anti-AI licence.
This person may be confused, but still your tagline is a waste of mods’ time. And just speaking as a user I find it to be annoying visual pollution, especially since I think it’s ineffectual, unless your only goal is to “raise awareness.” Beyond that I think any effectiveness is about as plausible as that of sovereign citizenship.
"Catching mice is a stupid question."
Well this makes me feel better about my stupid questions on stack overflow.
Look at this fancy person with enough reputation to ask a question
I know you're trying to make a joke about SO's restrictive rep system, but asking and answering questions doesn't require reputation, at all. If anything, that's where you start building rep.
