I asked a question on a forum about why a command wasn’t working. They said I didn’t have an interpreter installed on my computer and were making fun of me. I showed them that I had one installed and that wasn’t the problem, but they continued to talk sarcastically to me without explaining anything. Only one of them suggested the cause of the problem, and he was right, so I thanked him. Then another guy said that if I couldn’t figure it out myself, I should do something else and that he was tired of people like me. After that, I deleted my question, and now I’m not sure. And I don’t think I want to ask for help ever again

    I don’t think it’s just programming I think it’s most jobs in general. It’s just very evident cuz programming and IT and and overall is very in focus now. Most people that have been in a job for any length of time tend to have short tempers because " it’s easy to get this job. Cuz they don’t remember how hard it was for them in the beginning. They expect everybody to come in. Not only that but most of those people coming in are getting paid close to the same if not sometimes more than the person training them. So you tend to give up after a while.

      As someone in a programming adjacent job (which still involves a lot of coding and debugging, looking at my current career in comparison with other jobs I’ve had I think it’s not all jobs, but it’s about jobs that require specificity.

      Some pick up the fundamentals on their own and end up getting good at it. Some pick up the fundamentals, either through education or hobby, but never really get a good grasp on it. And some fail to pick up the fundamentals. Programming is a job that requires a certain level to at least be useful, and failing that can lead to a lot of frustration.

        I don’t know I disagree with the specific jobs that require specific skills. I mean hell I’ve seen fast food workers that have been doing it for years get annoyed at people that come in and can’t do what they consider basic.
