 Whether it's coding or life, people often run into problems and seek support.

 Maybe you know someone who's an "expert", so you ask them.

 DO NOT DO THIS.


 Post your question publicly.

 Then link it to the "expert".


 If you have a question, someone else will have it too.


 By posting the question publicly, **the next person who has the issue can see the answer as well.**

 You don't know how much time and effort you're saving strangers around the world.

 It also means someone else might answer it while you're waiting for the "expert".

 Post. The. Damn. Question.


 Anywhere that is searchable on the Internet is a good place to post the question.

 Reddit, Stackoverflow, Github issues, public message boards.


 NOT Discord. NOT in DMs.



 Exceptions to this rule:

 * Questions about proprietary services
 * You're taking a lesson from the "expert"
