\n<\/a> This week for the first time I blocked someone on msn. Actually, I blocked this person because he were what I use to call the “developer sucker”. Here is how our conversations get started.<\/p>\n

It’s usual for me to help other developers (and be helped) by IM. Actually, I just love to help and get in touch with other developers, because it’s a really rich experience (at least for me). So here is how this sad experience get started.<\/p>\n

I use to screencast some developer courses for DevMedia<\/a>, so this person (let us call him Mr. Sucker) appeared on my Msn with the following question:<\/p>\n

Mr Sucker: Could you please send me all your videos that you post at DevMedia?<\/em><\/p>\n

So, after I explained him that these courses were actually DevMedia’s property, here is what I heard:<\/p>\n

Mr. Sucker: But you made those videos. So they’re yours! And they are too expensive too: US$ 0.75 each!<\/em><\/p>\n

Well, here I started to get pissed. So I just thought that the best thing to do was to just ignore this part. Well, some days later, Mr Sucker appeared again with this message:<\/p>\n

Mr. Sucker: How can I install Grails on Linux?<\/em><\/p>\n

Not even a “good day”, “how are you?”, nothing. Just a question. So I explained to him, and in this week, this guy just asked me several times the same question. And I always sent to him the same links over and over again.<\/p>\n

So, suddenly he just changed his question and told me that he was going to talk about Grails on Fisl 10<\/a>, which was a shock for me. After all, how could he do that if he doesn’t even know how to install it??? So I asked him how could he do that without knowing anything about the subject. Here is his answer:<\/p>\n

Mr. Sucker: I believe that in one week I can do that.<\/em><\/p>\n

My answer, of course was: you WHAT???<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, again I just ignored him (after all, since I don’t know him in person, maybe he could be a genius or something like that), and few hours later, another question appeared:<\/p>\n

Mr. Sucker: Kico, could you please explain to me how Git works in detail? I want to use GitHub.<\/em><\/p>\n

As a answer, I sent to him the GitHub guide link(which is excelent). And here is what I heard:<\/p>\n

Mr Sucker: Explain to me how Git works in detail! I want to use GitHub.<\/em><\/p>\n

I always sent the same answer. Actually, this cycle only stopped when I asked him why he was asking me the same question over and over again. Here is his answer:<\/p>\n

Mr Sucker: I don’t wanna read. I don’t know english very well.<\/em><\/p>\n

So I sent to him some links in portuguese, and to my shock, here is what he said:<\/p>\n

Mr Sucker: Actually, I don’t like to read. I like to watch videos or by msn only. Please, could you help me or not?<\/em><\/p>\n

And my answer was: you’re blocked<\/strong>. What really amazed me was the fact that Mr Sucker actually personified several of the traps I mentioned some posts ago<\/a> in a single week. This kind of situation horrified me when I thought about the fact that there are thousands of these “programmers” around the world, actually employed and producing “something”. I mean: how someone so illiterate can get a job?<\/p>\n

PS:
\nMr Sucker is not going to read this post. It’s not a video and it’s not in portuguese.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
