You need to practice any skills to get good at them. Your homework is to ask your cohort a “Good Question” on the Slack channel when you next have a genuine issue you need help with.
Remember:
Identify one problem at a time to ask about
Say what research you’ve already done to try and resolve the problem yourself
Be specific about the problem
Be polite and respectful of the person you are asking.
Be concise (minimal reproducible example) - only give the relevant code snippets or errors messages
Choose who to ask based on their general expertise, availability, distance from you in the team or who you haven’t asked before.
Refer to documentation, other code, and discussions with specific links.
Show what happens when you try your solution.
Explain what you expected or wanted from your solution.
When others post their good questions, give them feedback on how good they are, along with any constructive feedback on how they might improve. And if you can, answer their question!
