Ask a good question for real

### Learning Objectives

- [ ] Ask a meaningful, well-structured question on Slack
- [ ] Answer a question on Slack appropriately
- [ ] Give feedback to colleagues when they ask questions

### Why are we doing this?

You need to **practice** any skills **to get good** at them. Your task is to ask your cohort a “Good Question” on the Slack channel when you next have a genuine issue you need help with.

**Remember:**
- Identify one problem at a time to ask about
- Say what research you’ve already done to try and resolve the problem yourself
- Be specific about the problem
- Be polite and respectful of the person you are asking.
- Be concise ([minimal reproducible example](https://stackoverflow.com/help/minimal-reproducible-example)) - only give the relevant code snippets or errors messages
- Choose who to ask based on their general expertise, availability, distance from you in the team or who you haven’t asked before.
- Refer to documentation, other code, and discussions with specific links.
- Show what happens when you try your solution.
- Explain what you expected or wanted from your solution.

You can use being stuck as an opportunity to make significant improvements in your logical reasoning skills.

When others post their good questions, give them feedback on how good they are, along with any constructive feedback on how they might improve. And if you can, answer their question!
