Ask HN: Given an unfamiliar problem, what is your reaction?
You're faced with a hardware or software problem that you are not immediately able to solve. It's unfamiliar or confusing. What is your reaction?
- davelnewton 10y ago"Oh, neat." Unless it's an uninteresting problem or unrelated to my skillset/job. Then it's more of a "Dammit I hate programming because I keep having to solve unrelated problems so I can program."
- gaspoweredcat 10y agoThis means war! I actually get somewhat worked up at times but generally the more it winds me up the more i want to bash its face in with a solution
- FiatLuxDave 10y agoAsk questions, or do experiments (which is just a way of asking questions without involving other humans). Usually when a problem is confusing, it is because something important about it is not known. So, get more information.
