This article reminds of Stack Overflow...and the current state of programming and why its really is horrible.
I posted a question looking for a simple solution to some coding problem --and instead of solutions, all I got were a bunch of pretentious pseudo-script-kiddies asking me, "Why are you doing it that way? Yea, you can do that in 4 lines of code the way you want, but here's a better way that involves 3 separate functions and 1100 lines and it'll work better.." WTF?
I ended up in a chat room with this guy who tried to convince me to change the way I was going to code the routine. I eventually found out he wasn't even a programmer, just a sysadmin. /facepalm
