Sometimes the solution to your problem is in the question. It is not unreasonable

Always skip the accepted answer and use the second or third one.

Was trying to show one of my students some code on Stack Overflow a little while back to help them figure something out, and they caught hung up looking over the code in the question, and I was like “No, don’t look at the code from the question! It’s wrong, that’s why they’re asking about it! Just look at the top answer!”

Ngl this made me laugh. Thanks for this.

I did that yesterday, the code seemed reasonable… Do you think I’m a programmer that could read, analyse and critically think about code?!?
