Comment on Why is stack overflow so horrible?

At some point people forget this didn’t feel easy or intuitive to them either. Then “simple” questions and complaints come off as more annoying.

Personal_reporter_58 was furious at his predicament. He was happy at first the tool they needed wasn’t just a feature in some expensive suite program, but found as standalone free tool in github. This excitement went away as they tried to use github tho. “How do you install from github” they cried, “there is no download button and when I maybe downloaded the file there is no .exe.” Indeed it was a commandline python program for docker so wanting a double-clickable exe was simply futile. Personal_reporter_58 continued complaining, convinced that github is supposed to be some kind of playstore, “this is the wierdest file sharing site I have ever seen.” Finally they gave up, convincee that it’s all just “very over complicated.” The end.
