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

    It really depends on the team. We don’t all suck.

    Unfortunately, the teams that do suck are also the ones who are constantly hiring.

      There couldn’t possibly be any form of causation there though. Nope.

      Yeah I know. I forgot to mention I ended up as a programmer anyway and I’ve met tons of wonderful colleagues. I just hoped the elitist culture had gone away
