    You lack vision, but I see a place where people get blocked and their questions opened then immediately closed as duplicates. Opened and closed, opened and closed all day, all night. Soon, where the internet once stood will be a string of condescending experts, admonitions that “you shouldn’t do that, do Y instead”, pleas for information closed as off-topic. Passive aggression, spiteful ego contests and wonderful, wonderful karma meters reaching as far as the eye can see. My God, it’ll be beautiful.

      “you shouldn’t do that, do Y instead”

      That’s one of my favorites: ignore the problem, only pick on the scope we can’t change.

        I asked for advice on how to express something in UML once:

        “No one cares whether you follow the UML standard, just make something up”

        “But my company uses waterfall and requires UML diagrams to move onto the next phase of development!”

        “That’s an issue with your company then. Ask your boss how to do it. Question closed.”
