How to ask a question, and get it answered by Phil Corliss

As developers we're trained problem solvers, but we're not naturally gifted question askers. We ask the incomprehensible questions, lead ourselves down the wrong path, and forget to include important information when we reach out to our peers.

We'll catalogue the best methods of solving a problem and reaching out for help. We'll also see ways to lead question askers towards self-resolution as well as better formed questions.
