		mlangdon on April 26, 2014 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Why is Stack Overflow so negative of late? This is the fundamental problem that forces me to come back to SO and face the snark, though admittedly less and less. Having such a limited understanding of a new (to me) problem niche that I don't even know what words to search with. I keep wanting to ask _that_ question, maybe on programmers. How do you approach a problem when the real problem is just not knowing the specialized language?

Google various sentences until you stumble upon something that contains the right search words. Then search for that right words.

For example, the above link stack overflow question with "easing" in it would be pure gold.
