Do not paste all your code, instead filter and identify which part of code has problem.

Pasting all the code greatly reduce your chance to get help because too much distraction.

If the issue is very complicated and consist of many modules, paste the link to your repository instead.

## Print Screen

Do not take picture of your code using phone, it is a real pain!

Is your image clear to yourself? If you are having hard time to see your own photo, why should us?

It ain't fun, it is awful, and you should feel bad about yourself for making this life mistake!

You are on a computer, use the tools provided, don't be lazy, repent your sin!

Window comes with default Snipping Tool, here is some alternative:

During print screen, make sure it is not too small and can be viewed clearly without `open original`  

If you have a lot of print screen, paste your github repo link instead!

Do not include irrelevant area(like terminal) because it increase the size of your image and big image looks small!
