There's quite a good existing question on this, with top answer given by /u/cthulhushrugged

I slugged out, revised, and reread this question for over an hour in the hopes of getting a well-thought out answer as I've seen on other posts. Instead I get one measly reply pointing me to something I'm not asking about.

I'm very dissapointed in this subreddit and will not be returning.
