The 'do something else' is the community caring. Perhaps it's incorrect, but it's worth looking into. I can't imagine what situation is so competitive that on week of lost Figma design/React building/or learning something new so so catastrophic so as not to be permitted. Perhaps I'm misreading and the activity is so boring but required that carrying on computing is better--I've certainly done that.

The only time I would be very annoyed by such responses is if that's all the responses I got. Some of both is reasonable: perhaps I did pose an XY problem.

If the community cared, wouldn’t they answer the question instead of ignoring the question that was asked?

The community didn't ignore the question, see the other replies. I said that it would be annoying if these types of replies were all I received. And my other post does give a suggestion.
