    Always skip the accepted answer and use the second or third one.

    Was trying to show one of my students some code on Stack Overflow a little while back to help them figure something out, and they caught hung up looking over the code in the question, and I was like “No, don’t look at the code from the question! It’s wrong, that’s why they’re asking about it! Just look at the top answer!”

    On the plus side there was a SO post with an answer out there for you.

    I have actually done this and it worked, i didn’t have the same problem as the question but the question had the solution i seeked.

    I did that yesterday, the code seemed reasonable… Do you think I’m a programmer that could read, analyse and critically think about code?!?

    Their fault of showing answer with partial codes

    Okay but sometimes it’s a really good question so surely they have good code too

    No worries! You can always ask chatGPT to fix it afterwards!
