    How about this. SO is a conglomerate of volunteering peers, who do not work for you, do not work with (and sometimes compete with) each other, and agree to meet as honest professionals to solve common problems and clarify interesting issues. This is why the presentation of the question is so important.

    It is not a tutorial site, a help desk, or a source of free labor. It’s denigrating to treat it that way.

    If you’ve got a stupid question, that’s fine, there’s nothing wrong with that, we all have them now and then. But if it is not conducive to the field, we much prefer you throw it on a web bot like GPT first, and return to SO for reflection if you need it.
