Looks like it needs to warm up a bit.
The rest of the world could probably do with it, too.

Curiously, in a way, I am! My College's Dining Hall[^] They used it as the Great Hall in one of the films, and bits'o' the cathedral throughout.

Ex public school eh? We had tables like that, and the names of all those ex pupils who had died fighting for the 'father land'.

That's not my school, that was at uni.
I am ex public school though, but only very technically, you'd be hard pushed to tell if you actually spoke to me. The school did have an organ with "dulce et decorum est... " on it. This being the north it didn't make much sense to me, dying for a country that effectively ends 200 mile south of here doesn't seem very sweet or proper.

I don't know where you stand but I think everyone deserves some help. Some people think CP does not help with homework problems and that I do not understand. We shouldn't do everything for them but there's no reason to not help them.
I see no issue with helping people that provide enough info to be able to help them. None of us were born knowing everything and not everyone is as good as we are at finding information on their own.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

There is quite a wide gap between helping someone with their code, and writing it for them. I'm happy to help anyone who can show that they are trying, but I'm not going to write their project for them. And in the latter case I don't believe it helps them in the long run.

Indeed, it teaches them to rely on other people to do their work for them.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

To be a manager in other words.

Which is why we deride them and complain bitterly about their lack of initiative.

Unfortunately in over 40 years in the industry that is the rule rather than the exception. 
I have had only three good managers in all that time.

Ok. So did you mean we should help this guy[^]??
I should be agree to Richard. Apart from that, if someone is not able to even start coding, i don't think he or she deserves to be a software professional.

Of course. Why wouldn't you? Don't participate in this site if you think someone does not deserve help. Everyone deserves help. Sometimes that help might be to suggest they read a book or a tutorial, but everyone deserves help.

I don't understand that attitude. Every single software professional had a point in their life where they couldn't even start coding. We all had to learn.

I don't think this statement make sense in context of this post. If you are not mature enough to discuss something,ignore it. Why to make something personal?
RyanDev wrote: I don't understand that attitude.
This is not something related to attitude, its all about one's way of thinking.

I think you misunderstood.
My point is everyone deserves some help. If you feel that people don't deserve help then I don't think you should participate here.

Yes, you're saying the same thing.

Asking someone to read Tutorial is help? I don't think so. Its totally a different thing to point some one in a right direction by suggesting some useful things.

I disagree. Sometimes the best answer is to refer them to do some study on their own.
