Stack Overflow has always been good to me, if:
- I detail my previous attempts
- I talk about what I think is wrong, or admit that I have no idea
- Check out the documentation before, fix small syntax issues
- Provide minimal code, or additional code to provide context if its a specific problem-related issue
- Link to any other relevant issues, on GitHub or elsewhere
Basically, the more effort I put into my question, the more SO gives back.
- H1Supreme 8y agoSame here. I don't ask too many questions these days, but have always got help if I formed my questions as specific as possible, and provided relevant code. I (try to) do some moderating each week on new user questions, and the biggest issues are: Posts don't have code in them, and are entirely too broad. Them number of times I've left the comment "please post some code" is in the hundreds.
