If you want me to hate you forever, a good way to do this is to share sample code as a isolated function in a blockquote, which produces a dozen 'symbol not found' errors when punched into actual code because you *didn't* include a blockquote containing the half-dozen #include or `using` or `import` statements that would be needed to bring the various API calls and types you reference into scope
@mcc my own bete noire, similarly: "here's some sample code that does the thing you're looking for … but that's wrong, here's a slightly better version that also does something else you don't want … but *that's* wrong, here's the full program, it's 300 lines and is completely different"
@fishidwardrobe if we're doing this, one thing i do really hate is when you are like "is there sample code for the c api?" and they're like "sure!" and they show you the sample code and instead of sample code for the c api it's a set of c++ wrapper classes for the c api
@mcc I mean I suppose that that is sample code, in a way. But not an example of how to use the api!
