When I am tempted to surrender.
A question in QA (No links, and no searching so you can downvote please).
He needs help: he just started with a company and they want him to update an application. No documentation, just "hundreds of classes without any knowledge.btw it is android app which i am going to update".
And he wants us to tell him where to start...I'm sooooo tempted to say "with a recruitment agency"

Seems like a case for Reverse Engineering ?
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}

Would be an acceptable developement strategy
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}

There seem to be two types of poster in the QA section.
1. Those that provide little if any details and want to be spoon fed the answer - "My application does not work. Please fix it".
2. Those that post the entire code base in the hope that some of it may prove useful. Whereas in fact it just makes the question harder to understand by increasing the noise-to-signal ration.

In circumstances such as those, I think education is the way forwards. Keep getting them to think about what they are trying to achieve, and to give them the relevant problem solving skills to find their answers, if not, then the necessary skills to properly formulate their question in a way that is helpful to the CP community to allow us to help them.

Haha. I tried a quick search, but just for a laught - not to downvote. Alas, I remain as yet mirthless.

Don't be so mean. He's been here 8 months and he's got to the 'testing' stage of post-making. I can't wait till he totally has it suss in about 18 months and starts posting for real.

This is odd because I've been getting a lot of Hello Test email's in my spam folder lately. You?
