<div dir="ltr">I've been writing javascript professionally since 1996. <a href="https://github.com/RichardBronosky/resume">https://github.com/RichardBronosky/resume</a> I love to help people. Open Source software changed my life and allowed me to escape a coal mining town in Eastern Kentucky. I try to pass along the favor every chance I get. This is why I spend dozens of hours every week on forums, mailing lists, and IRC channels.<div>
<br></div><div>The recipients of help have to give some effort to help themselves as well. By choosing not to use the tools available to you, you require everyone who would contribute to you, to have to invest a much larger effort to understand, diagnose, and describe the solution. I understand that learning "yet another tool" like jsfiddle can seem like a barrier to a "tiny problem". But you owe it to your helpers to help them where you can. It's not fair to plunge everyone back into 1996 just because you are in a hurry.</div>
<div><br></div><div>If you were to do this on the javascript/ecmascript channels on Freenode you would be warned, kicked, then banned for repeatedly refusing to follow advice. We are a much more forgiving community (when politics & corporations are not being discussed) but respect is respect.</div>
