Unfortunately for those who are scared of source code and perhaps those who are scared in general, it is all too easy to become paranoid. After all, you are at the mercy of those who are not scared. I'd say, pick up programming as a hobby and conquer your fear. Walk with your head high. Then maybe you'll understand what stub means. The people on this list are very helpful and welcoming and will even feed trolls. If you are not one, then educate yourself and stop acting like one.
