    It’s hilarious that people think I’m some kind of problem solver for all of their random issues they send over. I’ve even told them when they send me their errors - I literally copy and paste it into google (and now bing b/c google is becoming cluttered with garbage). Some of them just can’t wrap their head around just googling the error code or error string.

    Maybe the one thing we can do is filter out the irrelevant answers, and choose the correct/closest solution, that way they don’t have to wade into the mess

      Knowing how to sift through the results, and read the good answers for key elements, is a skill. One that you improve with experience.

        Yeah, it isn’t like any one person can really understand everything about everything. There is just too much for anyone to know.
