There needs to be a word for this type of interaction because it’s so common in software engineering:
Q: I need help doing X
A: if you’re doing X, you’re doing it wrong.
I propose the word shamesplaining. What do you think?
Not saying your opinion isn’t valid. It just doesn’t answer the question and it’s disturbing that this is the top voted answer. It sounds more like a criticism than an answer.
