Ask a Technical Question
I can ask a teammate a clear technical question: context, what I tried and one exact question.
You are setting up the web-app on your laptop. You cannot find where the API base URL is configured, and one test is failing. You decide to ask Alex, a senior backend engineer, for help.
You 10:14 AM
hi
You 10:15 AM
it doesn't work
You 10:21 AM
help?
Alex 10:40 AM
Hi! What doesn't work? What did you try?
Do not send messages like these. Alex has to ask what is wrong before he can help. Give context, say what you tried and ask one exact question.
Your mission
Ask for help politely: give context, say what you have already tried and ask one exact question.
