I tinker with everything computers. I typically ask questions that do not get answered. Not that I am trying to avoid answers but everything else is already available online. If I do a search and there is the answer then it should be obvious that no question in any community will be developed as those easy ones already exist!
I wonder why it is when I search any community, often there is not any similar question posted as the ones I ask. And, everytime I am left to figure out how to resolve these questions I ask by myself. The costs at which I go through to achieve these answer is pretty enormous in personal forfeiture. It then occurs to me, everytime I endevour to create the answer, I have a piece of knowledge that is very powerful that the general population has no access to; why should I give it away, especially when no one attempts to guide my quests in the first place. Also, if I am the creator of a post that garners no attention does it mean no one else has that need; or have others sought a similar quest that never had any input as well. Should I reply to the post I created with the hard sought answer when no one else may ever look?
Does the community arise only to the low lying fruit? Do replies come from only people that are trying to collect recognition, a reward system which might be used in a resume or held high as a banner?
I am not understanding the purpose of any of the communities any longer.
Trying to use any community and not recieving any help is just another burden on the time it takes for me to complete my code objectives.
Whatever post you all see from me have dual purpose. First is the quest to a coding problem; but, most importantly I test the community to see how responsive it is. I can gauge how well and how long a framework will be active by the responsiveness of the community. And, from that advantage point determine how long I wish to stick around. I have seen and still I see sinking ships everyhwere. I can attribute the dying of a framework to the responsiveness of that community.
But this is powershell, right, how can it possibly go to the wayside?
There alternatives! There are automation frameworks that do substitute for the abilities that powershell provides if not in whole then specifically to the component that a user may be inclined to tool-up with.
Most people never use powershell for all it has to offer. Not even the teams that build powershell are adept at all the features powershell offers. I see these individuals and teams communicating with other teams for their expertise on any particular matter in which the usage of is not familiar enough to exhibit proficient skill within.
These pieces are all interchangable with third party apps. If I can not get up and running with the code challenges I require in a proficient manner then I will be forced to find an alternative. That is how it is even if I am the only one brave enough to say it!
