> Whose time was wasted?
The time spent on the interaction between asker and those who answered to actually get the asker to provide context and outline his X.
If the asker had done this right from the start, instead of making the answerers guess, then the goal to help the asker deepen their understanding can be reached much more quickly.
- francislavoie 5y agoAbsolutely. Which is why we require askers to fill out a template which asks the big questions up-front; version, config, logs, what do you want to do, what did you try, what did you read. It always takes longer if askers are stubborn and don't answer those questions properly. Help me help you.
