Stupid Questions

January 23, 2009 03:00 by ckincincy

Hat tip to Chris Blankenship for this one.

As a developer you get dumb questions from newbies (and experienced people as well) all the time.  Things that you know with about 60 seconds of effort could have been answered without bothering you.

In comes the best way ‘teach a person to fish’ rather than give them a fish.

Instead of giving the person the answer, you send them a link that shows them how to use Google!

Just yesterday I got to use this one!  I think the question was... What is CIFS (http://tinyurl.com/d7jata)?  Have you noticed that LetMeGoogleThatForYou now integrates tinyurl for their links... kind of hides the destination from the receiver until they actually click the link... I love it!
