When I first started learning to program I was constantly told "use StackOverflow" and "the people there have answers to all your questions". So I did, I asked my question, I got 2 responses: the first was someone earnestly answering question, and the second was someone flaming me for asking such a simple question. Literally 1 minute later the thread was locked, and I was banned. I was so disheartened and embarrassed that I just stopped learning to program.
