I'm a one-man shop with no one to bounce problems off of, so I rely on Google and Stack Overflow (or other forums). In the past when I got stuck and posted a question, frequently I'd solve the problem myself almost immediately afterward.
So now when I'm tempted to ask a question on SO, I write out the question in a text editor, giving as much detail as possible. It's not a 100%, but I've found that going through the process of trying to frame a question intelligently goes a long way toward figuring it out myself.
- avalaunch 13y agoI think that's fairly common amongst developers - solving the problem minutes after posting the question. My advice is to post the question anyway. And then when you solve it minutes later, post the solution too. That way you'll be providing a net increase to our collective knowledge while also helping yourself.
