Think back how many releases they had for features for lotf. Admittedly they were all shit code and half didn't propely work but it was something people could copy past in and see results and be a little proud of themself's. It's not even trivial to copy paste code cause there were 100's of LOTF forks that changed various parts. - My point being, without the support and spoon feeding, I would have given up learning two languages at the same time.
Now we all know how to code. Now we all see the financial aspect of it, we know we can charge people who can't code alot for a couple of minutes. Now we're the TQ of the Co2Pserver scene.

In the 10 years I've been here, spoon-feeding has always been rightfully discouraged. It doesn't help the recipient. Helping them come to the same conclusion is helpful. That's like trying to teach someone how to solve derivatives by just showing them the answer. How is that helpful if they can't arrive to the same conclusion on their own, solve the problem or similar problems in the future, or understand how that solves their problem over other solutions. Rather, I learned by collaborating with other people and actually learning how to code. It's not our responsibility to teach people how to program or to code for them, but we definitely go out of our way to help teach them where we can. I mean, do what you want. It depends the situation. Releasing code and features, and spoon feeding are entirely different things. I don't see the problem here though, his question was answered.
