Subreddit Rules
- No unprofessional/derogatory speech: Follow [reddiquette](https://www.reddit.com/wiki/reddiquette): behave professionally and civilly at all times. Communicate to others the same way you would at your workplace. Disagreement and technical critiques are ok, but personal attacks are not.
- Abusive, racist, or derogatory comments are absolutely not tolerated.
- See our [policies on acceptable speech and conduct](/r/learnprogramming/wiki/index#wiki_acceptable_speech_and_conduct) for more details.
- Violations cause instant ban.
- No spam or tasteless self-promotion: When posting some resource or tutorial you've made, you must follow our [self-promotion policies](/r/learnprogramming/wiki/index#wiki_self-promotion).
- In short, your posting history should not be predominantly self-promotional and your resource should be high-quality and complete. Your post should not "feel spammy".
- Self promotion from first time posters without prior participation in the subreddit is explicitly forbidden.
- When in doubt, message the mods and ask them to review your post.
- No off-topic posts: Do not post questions that are completely unrelated to programming, software engineering, and related fields. Tech support and hardware recommendation questions count as "completely unrelated".
- Questions that straddle the line between learning programming and learning other tech topics are ok: we don't expect beginners to know how exactly to categorize their question.
- See our [policies on allowed topics](/r/learnprogramming/wiki/index#wiki_allowed_topics) for more details.
- Do not ask exact duplicates of FAQ questions: Do not post questions that are an exact duplicate of something already answered in the [FAQ](/r/learnprogramming/wiki/faq).
- If your question is similar to an existing FAQ question, you MUST cite which part of the FAQ you looked at and what exactly you want clarification on.
- Do not delete posts: Do not delete your post! Your problem may be solved, but others who have similar problems in the future could benefit from the solution/discussion in the thread.
- Use the "solved" flair instead.
- No app/website review requests/app showcases: Do not request reviews for, promote, or showcase some app or website you've written. This is a subreddit for learning programming, not a "critique my project" or "advertise my project" subreddit.
- Asking for code reviews is ok as long as you [follow the relevant policies](/r/learnprogramming/wiki/index#wiki_asking_for_a_code_review). In short, link to only your code and be specific about what you want feedback on. Do not include a link to a final product or to a demo in your post.
- No rewards: You may not ask for or offer payment of any kind (monetary or otherwise) when giving or receiving help.
- In particular, it is not appropriate to offer a reward, bounty, or bribe to try and expedite answers to your question, nor is it appropriate to offer to pay somebody to do your work or homework for you.
- No indirect links: All links must link directly to the destination page. Do not use URL shorteners, referral links or click-trackers. Do not link to some intermediary page that contains mostly only a link to the actual page and no additional value.
- For example, linking to some tweet or some half-hearted blog post which links to the page is not ok; but linking to a tweet with interesting replies or to a blog post that does some extra analysis is.
- Udemy coupon links are ok: the discount adds "additional value".
- Do not promote illegal or unethical practices: Do not ask for help doing anything illegal or unethical. Do not suggest or help somebody do something illegal or unethical.
- This includes piracy: asking for or posting links to pirated material is strictly forbidden and can result in an instant and permanent ban.
- Trying to circumvent the terms of services of a website also counts as unethical behavior.
- No complete solutions: **Do not** ask for or post a complete solution to a problem.
- When working on a problem, try solving it on your own first and ask for help on *specific* parts you're stuck with.
- If you're helping someone, focus on helping OP make *forward progress*: link to docs, unblock misconceptions, give examples, teach general techniques, ask leading questions, give hints, but no direct solutions.
- See our [guidelines on offering help](/r/learnprogramming/wiki/index#wiki_offering_help) for more details.
- Don't Ask To Ask: **Don't ask to ask.**
- Ask your questions right here in the open subreddit. Show what you have tried and tell us exactly where you got stuck.
- We want to keep all discussion inside the open subreddit so that more people can chime in and help as well as benefit from the help given.
- Low Effort Questions: Do not ask easily googleable questions or questions that are covered in the documentation.
- This subreddit is not a proxy for documentation or google.
- We do require effort and demonstration of effort.
- This includes "how do I?" questions
- AI generated
- AI (chatGPT etc.) generated/worked over messages/comments
- questions about chatGPT/AI generated code
- Vibe coding.
- Such posts/comments will be removed without warning and the poster of ai generated content will be instantly banned.
