> I'm not sure what kind of toxic communities and work environments you are apart of, but if a newbie to the community can't ask questions, that's not a community that will survive or flourish in the long run.
Our definitions of toxic obviously differ a bit. I wouldn't flame anyone but (in a non paid setting of course, paying customers have the right to be wrong) I would tell them (politely) that we were there to help them when stuck, not to pull them up to speed.
Before reading this I wouldn't have believed anybody would seriously suggest that.
As others have pointed out going straight to the chat without even trying to read up on the docs first comes off as extremely entitled and lazy.
I'm maybe to hesitant, I wont bother anyone before I've read the relevant docs twice, possibly also looked quickly into the source.
