SO in a nutshell:
"I need to do X"
"Have you tried Y?"
"No, because I don't need Y, I need X."
"Well you can do Z if you can't do Y."
"OK, sure. But how do I do X?"
"Why do you need to do X?"
(Explains why in my hyper-specific situation, I need to do X, and Y and Z won't work)
This question has been marked as a duplicate of "How to do Y"
You know, when I typically ask a question on SO, its because I want to learn how that thing works, or how to write it myself. I usually say as much, but the SO folks are too focused on the ends, they completely neglect the means. Chances are I'm already aware of that no-code solution, but that's not what I'm asking for.
