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

[–] entropicdrift@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 5 months ago (2 children)

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.

Heads up, that spoiler syntax doesn't work on normal lemmy

Time management is different for everyone, and when you're on a deadline, or just dealing with a one-off situation, the extra research has no value.

Sometimes you don't need to know how the clock works, you just need to know what time it is.

I totally agree. There are exceptions to every rule, but random people on the internet who you aren't being paid to solve the problem for by a very large majority would benefit more from education than having their problem solved for them.

Teach a man to fish and all that.

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

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 15 points 5 months ago

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.

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 29 points 5 months ago

Is anyone going to tell them about stack overflow, or...

[–] olutukko@lemmy.world 13 points 5 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 5 months ago

This is a pretty old meme now. It's a bit late for that.
