The "that's a XY problem" guys always seem to think they're the smartest in the room.


imo this was the single worst problem with SO, people always searching for the XY problem in every question instead of taking it at face value


Mostly I'd say their downfall was that they encouraged copypasta material and actively discouraged any kind of behaviour that would have built a community.
