I asked a question on a forum about why a command wasn’t working. They said I didn’t have an interpreter installed on my computer and were making fun of me. I showed them that I had one installed and that wasn’t the problem, but they continued to talk sarcastically to me without explaining anything. Only one of them suggested the cause of the problem, and he was right, so I thanked him. Then another guy said that if I couldn’t figure it out myself, I should do something else and that he was tired of people like me. After that, I deleted my question, and now I’m not sure. And I don’t think I want to ask for help ever again
If you have a genuine interest in how things work in software and in being a great programmer, that passion will do more to carry you than finding another field with fewer arrogant assholes.
But if you’re just trying to learn because it makes good money or because it’s a job you decided on but don’t particularly care about, it might be a struggle.
This applies to any kind of work. Having that fascination and interest in the work itself will make it much easier to learn and thrive (unhelpful assholes aside).
