Are there any good hacker mentors out there?
HeyLaughingBoy: I'm amazed that no one has suggested the most obvious answer: a lot of developers are just plain rude!Even if you don't want to help someone, there's a polite way of wording it. Unfortunately a lot of people in the SW dev community haven't figured that out yet.@Rayzar:
They're under no obligation to help you, but at the same time they don't need to be unfriendly about it either.
