It’s a good point. I was on a niche Apache mailing list for a bit and of course I’m talking to the world experts about some niche serialization format from the creator himself et al. I’m curious if they resent random questions though. For example, if I’m asking Linus about btrees he’s probably going to tell me to fuck off |

That's the thing, you know? It's a very unequal world out there. I have many gaps in my knowledge due to lack of formal computer science and engineering education. While I'd very much like to participate, sometimes I feel like it'd be a waste of other people's time to answer my dumb questions. I really don't want to be a help vampire.
ChatGPT turned out to be a great solution to this problem.
