Key Points

  • Always search Google first; 70-80% of questions can be self-answered with proper search techniques
  • Search techniques: adjust keyword order, reduce keywords, use English, use site: operator, use quotes for exact phrases
  • Good question opening: state your experience level (e.g., “I’m a 3-month JavaScript learner”)
  • Describe what you tried, what you expected, and what actually happened
  • Include code snippets and error messages — text descriptions alone are insufficient
  • Avoid ambiguous questions like “I have a problem, please help” with no context

Insights

The principle of stating your experience level in questions is underappreciated — it calibrates the responder’s explanation depth and removes the awkward back-and-forth of “what’s your background?” The Google-first rule isn’t just about saving others’ time; it’s about building the skill of self-directed problem solving that distinguishes senior from junior developers.

絕大部分你想問的問題有七到八成可以在 Google 中找到,所以也有人戲稱當今世代的工程師是 Google 工程師。
