I’ve found it similarly dismaying when I write a detailed answer that explains why something is done a certain way and include some background/context so the asker can learn from the question, only to have someone else answer “just do this” and paste in some (IMO poorly written) code with single character variable names and magic values and other such code smells, with the poor answer being “accepted” and upvoted.

Seems there’s not much point putting effort in to do something “properly”.

Software Development in 2020, everyone.

This perfectly describes what our industry has become :)

Thank you for your good answers!

Lots of people will go read your answer and upvote it. The fact that the questioner didn't check it is something you should mostly ignore.
