It isn’t just beginner hostile. The more niche and advanced your question is, the more likely it is to be incorrectly marked as a duplicate.

Besides that, the answers you do find are often not helpful. For example, “just use this function in jQuery” - I’m asking about JavaScript, not jQuery.

Since jQuery is open source, I do consider this to be at least a helpful step, since you can then simply look at the source code of the respective jQuery function.

This realization hit me after I wrote my original comment. Somehow never crossed my mind. I’ll definitely try this next time.
