Subject: Re: [php_mysql] urgent help
When did this become a javascript list? Or a 'do my work for free'
list?
I've bit my tongue a couple times lately on the 'urgent help needed'
emails, but I feel obliged to direct a little education to the worst
offenders. I'm not the forum mod, but I think I've earned the
occasional rant. :)
It's bad enough that this request doesn't seem to be centered around a
desire to learn the craft, but the 'I need it now' (I can't recall you
posting without the word 'urgent' in the subject) is over the top.
If you need someone to write code for your project, *hire a contractor*
- there are plenty of qualified folks on the list, and they'd probably
cut you a decent deal.
If you honestly want to learn a concept, spend enough time working on it
to actually have a question. Nobody minds helping you, but if you don't
care aboult really learning this stuff, spending five minutes with
google would have turned up code you could borrow.
This is a community, where people *participate* to help each other get
better -- not a helpdesk or a pool of free development labor. Please
respect the time and talent in the community, and actually contribute
something instead of demanding stuff for free -- especially when you
want it *now*.
$0.02,
Jeromie
