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

    but the biggest issue is that it’s hard to know the exact word you need to use.

    This is one of those few cases where I’ve actually found AI to be genuinely useful. If I don’t know how something is called, I describe it to AI and have it figure it out for me, then I go look the thing up myself once I have a word for it.

      That’s what I did too. It’s not programming, but I remember doing something like “What is it when a plus b is b plus a” because I forgot the name of that property.
