Can Someone tell me is this necessary ?

Don't make social noise on Stackoverflow. Hope this helps - what's the point? Would you have made the reply if you hadn't hoped that? And even "happy coding" should have been removed.

Actually, the more rants I read about SO here on devRant, the more I understand why SO is that way.

"We try to avoid these phrases. It assumes everyone here is trying to be helpful"

@Fast-Nop I just being honest and genuinely dont know what is wrong to use these words , just ask for opinions.

@12bitfloat kek?

@johnmelodyme Because they are useless noise and thus undesired on a platform that aims to be an encyclopedia.You are supposed to keep a high signal-to-noise ratio there.

SO is not a place for social interaction. It is a place for pure information. You don't deal with the asking person, you deal with the question being asked.

@Fast-Nop Oh Iget it , it like a wikipedia thing .... No wonder.

I get how it can seem picky... at the same time I also get how you might want to clean it up too...

SO is like the complete opposite of devRant, they want to appear to help, we don't.

We appear to want to socialise, they don't 🙃

@Fast-Nop In my experience people are very eager to claim that a question shouldn't have been asked and much less eager to try to answer unusual questions.

@homo-lorens That's because they're mostly right on that one. Especially beginners have no business asking something on SO because all they could ask has already been answered.

The one big problem SO has is that it is meant as Q&A encyclopedia, and that doesn't play well with the changing tech landscape.

But asking the same question again because things have changed is also stupid because that pollutes the search engine results - and finding answers that way is how SO is intended for 95% of devs.

@Fast-Nop I'm not talking about homework or real duplicates. I'm talking about similarly worded questions that only look like duplicates to the uninitiated, "you shouldn't do that at all" type comments and the whole notion that opinionated questions shouldn't be asked as if debatable answers are necessarily worthless.

@homo-lorens Points to X/Y problems, and in that case, "you shouldn't do that" is the correct answer. SO is not intended as forum or chat. Its main use is for unregistered users to find answers via search engines.

It's just that many people don't get this and think SO is about them and their personal stuff - then wonder why that gets removed.

@Fast-Nop Here's my situation. My problem is unusual but it isn't an error on my part to
1. Want to deliver a CMS
2. Want to use git
https://stackoverflow.com/q/...

@homo-lorens X/Y problem. "Don't do that" is the correct answer, and it is helpful. Maybe not for you, but who matters isn't you, but all the people having the same bad idea and getting there via a search engine. If at least some of them re-think their idea, that will have been helpful.

You misunderstood SO as helpdesk. It isn't.

@Fast-Nop Okay, I understand why a comment noting that this is probably a bad idea is warranted, but if you read the comment chain it becomes obvious that the guy actually thinks that I shouldn't do it at all, which is very much helpdesk-like behavior. A knowledge base doesn't talk you out of things and it doesn't claim your problem universally stupid, at most it highlights that this is probably not a good idea.
