I'm grateful for this place.

It's not perfect, but it's miles (or kilometers if you prefer) better than other communities out there online for the most part. Primadonnas in tech are a dime a dozen, and they haunt a lot of places online, not just the workplace. I recently ran into some on a discord server. They are so tiresome. I told them in my experience the real talent helps other people get good, and the punters waste everyone's time talking trash. It shouldn't bother me, but what does bother me about it is some people are so desperate to feel like they're better than other people that they can't even play well with others for any length of time. Get some therapy. I've seen it here, but it's nowhere near as bad as I've found elsewhere. Thanks to the regular contributors here who make this a positive place to be rather than turning everything into a d*** measuring contest.

If you go back a decade or more, I thought back then that the Q&A was quite toxic. IIRC some new guidelines were posted and enforced in order to make it a more pleasant experience for beginners.

I'm glad I missed that. :~ I visited a decade ago but on a different account that mysteriously stopped working on me, but also I just lurked and didn't really visit Q&A.

True. And as for the Soapbox... Personally, I liked having a place where I could rant with (mostly) intelligent people, but I understand why the hamsters decided to remove it.

I too am grateful for this place for the same reasons. What still amazes me is how it retains it's friendly culture still, mostly anyway.

I remember very long ago on a UsetNet forum where the author of one book (and several later) on the technical subject would routinely attack anyone that asked a question that was remotely simple on the forum for that subject. He would respond not just with RTFM but with often quite a bit of ire directed at the poster. Just surprised me that despite how good his books were at teaching that apparently actually answering questions (or just skipping the question) seemed beyond him.

Yes, that is what I mean, when I say "this place" - I mean "this community", not just "this website" It is the people here who make the difference. Regardless of me. I'm glad I can come into this place, ask a question, share a thought, post an article, and for the most part, it's a positive experience.

well, you altered my initial perceptions of you and your behavior, in the context of seeing/realizing the entire gestalt of the lounge was drifting into more trivia, less liveliness :) if you teach me, you are my mentor, if you challenge me, you may catalyze my transformation, if you point out my mistakes, you are my teacher. going forward, i keep thinking you and/or Marc Clinton could conjure a singularity that could give C# .NET highly compressed generic DSL creation tools, or decision table tools. :) ... yeah, i like to think of work other people could do: the vice of presumption! cheers, bill

Hitting the proverbial nail on the head!! I left such a community a few years back (one of the largest, now going through a moderator strike - aghumm :rolleyes: ) because of the 'victimization', 'mine is longer than yours' and plain out 'arrogance' where learning/teaching became a thing of the past and a 'I am the boss, do what I say' attitude ruled the day. Thank you CP for having us, we are not perfect either, most of us that is ;P , but the communal interaction and comradery is definitely something to write home about!

This place is fantastic, but I'm trying to get my head around anyone trying to go mano a mano :) with the likes of you. Some of your posts are just intimidatingly complex.

I am in total agreement with your statement on all points. I recently got certified (PMP) as a Project Manager. I did well on the 180 question certification test, however there is supposedly a 1st time failure rate of up to 60% on the 210 test. I prepared diligently for the test and am happy to share my study/prep techniques. The PMP core values are built on responsibility, respect, honesty, and fairness. These values for me also mean helping out those around me that I interact with. This community has been awesome and thankfully I've seen very little condescending self-righteousness on here. I love it! Great post. :)

Good observation. I love helping teach others what I know, and I like learning from others. Where I draw the line, and give up trying to share what I know, is when the person doesn’t want to learn or has an attitude similar to “OK, Boomer.” When I was young in the software development industry, I learned from older coworkers. Some of them were old, grumpy, WWII farts, but I learned to look beyond that, show respect, listen, learn, and build on that. I excelled in my work then and now because of that. They are dead now, but what they taught me lives on in my work, adapted for today’s newer technologies.

I don't think anyone has said it yet, so as a long-time CP member I will: You're welcome. Chris and company deserve an immense amount of credit for providing resources for folks in the trenches. This is especially true for those of us in Microsoft houses, given the steady decline in the quantity and quality of MS support in the face of their yeast-colony growth in complexity. Culturally Code Project has always maintained a welcoming stance, and has occasionally made significant changes to ensure that remained the case. I've been here for over 20 years, and I've enjoyed it. It might be a little late, but welcome in.
