Feather we like it or not, there's no talon what an owl will say.

I'm p***ed off with having the day off, so I'm off back to the office to have the rest of the day on.

Thank you so much for the passenger seat belt alert you coded into the A Class. While it's comforting to know that you care that my shopping will not survive in the event of an accident, I found your increasingly strident "beep", "beep beep beep", "BEEP BEEP BEEP", "BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP" rather distracting and very annoying.
That you shut the elephant up just as I approach the first place I can elphanting stop to get at the elephanting seatbelt and shut you the elephant up I found even more elephanting irritating and worse for my elephanting blood pressure, sunshine.

So often, in Q&A, we have some sort of Computer Science major requesting that one of us do his/her homework for them. OG even has a boiler-plate posting for that (most of his 2 million points gotten with that, but I deviate).
OK - so suppose we give them the answers, or they get them from "that other site". They graduate, eventually, and get a job, totally reliant on hoping someone will know how to do for them what they were hired to do.
Now, as there seems to be so many of them, they'll naturally begin to fill in and even dominate the software development scene. All of them turning to one another, hoping that someone where they work knows what they are doing.
More and more of them aggregate (or better put, form a clot). The size of this death spiral of the clueless keeps increasing, as does the desperation.
Something's got to give . . .

I always dream of changing career to open-heart surgery. Shouldn't be too hard to find a forum that explains howto and where I can post questions when stuck

I'm still looking for a patient.
The sick thing is that's how IT often works. I've been given access to a webapp from the hospital just to mail them that the thing isn't secure (or even looks finished).

But fortunately for all of those that need such surgery the doctors are not in fact based solely on how they did in school. They must actually do the work under a trained surgeon for years.

Yep. That's why I have boilerplate!
We can't do it for them, it isn't fair: not on us, not on their classmates who have tried themselves, not on themselves in the long term because they never learn the right "mind set" to do the job - and that means unfair on the company and their coworkers when they eventually manage to lie their way into a job.
Got one today: I told him - politely - to use the debugger, and he starts SHOUTING at me, and getting increasingly desperate. Nope. Shout at me, I stop responding ... show me you are trying and I'll help to the best of my ability.
But I don't worry about the future: it's seen as a low-effort, high pay career that anyone who can use an iPhone and Google can cope with. So the morons flock in in their droves and the good ones get hidden in the noise.
But they are there. And they will shine, possibly all the more brightly in comparison to the "non-diamonds" they are buried under ... it'll just take some time, is all. Until then, repeat after me "We do not do your homework: it is set for a reason. It is there so that you think about what you have been told, and ... "

If I have the time do nut it out, I give them the most complex answer I can, and hope that the instructor recognizes that there's no way in hell a newb could come up with that kind of code.
In the end, I'm just in it for the rep points.

Off topic, but I can't help but be amused by that smiley face in your post, wondering if it's the same smiley face as on the stock of your Street-Sweeper[^]?

I had no idea that even existed. But then again, I'm not a fan of guns in general, so...
However, I am skilled in their use, and can field strip/clean pretty much any firearm you might hand me.
Why do y'all persist in steering so many discussions towards firearms?
