Why should ‘newbies’ feel as if they have to apologize for seeking knowledge? Why should they be told “Well, a quick Google search would tell you...” when you could just help them? I find it ironic and utterly ******* shameful that the same people who tout the virtues of Pair Programming are so quick to deny someone the type of knowledge sharing that comes with human interaction.

If I am a newbie googling a common contracting question, chances are I'll land on this forum. Of the 73 results, one is 28 pages long with people arguing over interpretation, one has wandered completely off topic and fails to address the question, and the other 71 have some unfriendly fecker telling people to sod off and use the search.
So I start a new thread in the vain hope of a clear, concise and friendly answer to my common contracting dilemma.
So the next googling newbie gets 74 results.

While you are falsely smiling at your work colleagues & laughing at your hiring managers jokes, you are really a seething ball of frustration who would like to carry out all of the scenes in 'Whack Your Boss' but have to alleviate it by using your anonymous login on CUK to come along & abuse other seething balls of frustration to tip them off their game & into going postal in the office, so you can read about in tomorrows Daily Mail.
They're talking about you again Brillo.

Originally posted by northernladuk View PostI think that is the best post you have put up so far and is very true indeed. That is probably exactly the issue and on reflection I am getting tetchier and tetchier. A point I will genuinely take on board.
