There's been discussion on chat for quite a while now about creating a canonical question along the lines of:

> Q: Our last guy who was our expert in system XYZ left, HALP?

> A: Hire someone.

> Q: I'm not a systems admin and I broke something, HALP?

> A: Hire someone.

> Q: I'm the sole IT guy and they're asking me to do XYZ, HALP?

> A: Hire someone.

i.e. a whole category of questions where the correct *professional* response seems to be  "Hire a consultant / replacement because you need a professional sysadmin / expert in XYZ".

If not a canonical question, then a section in the Help Center.
