Hi Darrin

I'm a developer for close to 10 years and I just want to say: dumb questions do not exist, only dumb answers. The first time I encountered a return statement my mind went: "return what?".

I feel like a lot of the developer community is a friendly bunch of friends that like to banter and help eachother out but you'll always find the occasional elitist that likes to look down on young padawan developers.

The best thing we could do as a community is assuming every person behind a username of profile picture is an aspiring developer that genuinely wants to understand what's going on.

That being said, I'm probably ashamed of what questions I have asked on SO.

I have two question on SO that have amassed 75k view in total which I consider dumb questions. But to place this in perspective, are they dumb questions if 75k (possible) people look up the same information as I was looking for at that time.
