On a serious note... I think it's great that in Q/A here on CP we can (though getting people to do it is another matter) segregate these concerns (as Comments) from actual helpful answers.

Comment se fait-il que quand un développeur poste une question ou un commentaire sur certains forum (ici mais surtout ailleurs) et utilise un exemple délibérément trivial pour illustrer un point, il semble toujours au moins un intervenant qui ne tient pas compte de la question/réponse et déconstruit le code trivial ? Parfois longuement. Malheureusement le fil finit souvent être sur cette critique, pas à la question initiale.
Dans une veine connexe, quand quelqu'un a une question précise sur une bibliothèque, une personne toujours semblent suggérer une bibliothèque de remplacement. Je préfère la STL dans la majeure partie des MFC, mais si quelqu'un pose des questions sur, dire, CString MFC, c'est assez gênant de voir quelqu'un rabâcher que "you doit utiliser std::string. " (c'est ennuyeux surtout quand le commentaire sarcastique ne résout en fait tout le problème étant donné que la fonctionnalité n'est pas prise en charge dans la suggestion remplaçant. le pire est ceux qui disent "use boost"pour tout quand ils n'ont aucune compréhension des contraintes pétitionnaires ou il y a des solutions de rechange supérieures.)
EDIT : J'ai purgé maintenant parce que quelqu'un sur un autre forum cela ne me, mais il est très aggravant à google un problème, cliquez sur ce que vous pensez, c'est une réponse seulement à trouver un débat long sans rapport avec la question initiale toujours sans réponse (je cherche principalement à vous, débordement de pile).

Fine, I hear your vent, and my ears are still okay, and true 'tis that suffering shared may be suffering diluted; but, if you are venting re StackOverFlow, why not post your thoughts on their 'Meta forum ?
cheers, Bill

It is of my opinion and experience that Geeks/Nerds...IT/Software people are some of the most critical people in the world, not just my world.
I am guilty of this crime as well.

The worst part is that most of them are wrong.
I've only met a few people who were right, and agreed with me before I educated them.

Are you really educating them?
Most "things" are not right or wrong, but an opinion of what is the correct way or wrong way. Some of these opinions are widely accepted, thus "turning" into fact, which of course, is not true.
I am of the opinion that if you are on a magical quest to educate people in your way of thinking, that you are on a quest of epic proportions where the treasure to be found is failure.
In summary, "who cares".

I never usually don't take it too seriously. I just like to argue and discuss pointless things to break the monotony, but occasionally I really do feel the need to actually educate people - Like when team leads think that source control is just a nice to have.

In my opinion it's quite the oposite and I have found developers and other IT techies very easy going and forgiving. In my experience the most difficult nitpickers are Esperantists  Then again there are rather a lot of IT folks in the Esperanto community so perhaps the conclusion is that the difficult IT-ers are the ones who learn Esperanto and would that include me or am I exempt for I knew Esperanto before I knew anything about computers let alone programming.
