Quora questions I've seen enough of

October 04, 2016

I really do like Quora (you may have seen my SadQuora tweets, a side effect of the time I spend there). But when somebody asked, “What are the most annoying types of questions on Quora?” I couldn’t resist. Maybe it’s just my feed, but I see things like these a lot:

I made this, do you like it?

What is the best programming language to use if I want to make a site to compete with Facebook?
What phone is best for graphic design?
What is the process of building a jet airplane from scratch? Please be specific.
Why do all my questions get marked as needing improvement?
