Pretentious, rude, arrogant, and utterly annoying? That sounds like your
first response! If you don't know how to code, fine. But saying "Do *NOT*
believe them" about the people who do know how and will help? If you do
that often, it's no wonder so many ask you to show them the code!

It's perfectly fine if you don't code. But consider showing a little
respect then to those who do, instead of insulting them for not having
written something that will do exactly what you want with no thought on
your part.
