... if you asked an intelligent question, our elders and betters would have given a helpful reply. There's the key: asking an an intelligent question; ie, one that shows that the requester has put some thought & effort into considering & preparing the question. "Gimme code" is not just about asking for code alone; it's about asking without having done any prior work - that's the key! It's also used where it is apparent that the requester has no intention of studying it and developing it to his own requirements, but is demanding a complete, read-to-run, turnkey solution - and all for free!
