I finally got a real answer by asking a different way
I was stuck on a coding bug for two days and every forum said to 'just use the debugger', but I tried asking 'what would make this specific line NOT execute' instead. Someone immediately pointed out my variable scope issue in the comments. Has anyone else found that rephrasing the question is the actual key to getting help online?

Yeah "rephrasing the question is the actual key" is so true. I read a blog that said asking "what's broken" gets worse answers than asking "what should be happening instead". What's your go-to way to reword a problem?
