How do I write my questions and problems articles?

The process I use to write both my questions articles and my problems articles is quite similar, so I will summarize both in this article.

The process is as follows:

  • Find the question or problem to cover.
    • To find questions, I will look at the notes I have taken in the past and search for question marks. I answer those questions as a way to stimulate my brain to think about questions I may rarely have the time to answer.
    • To find problems, I will look at my GitHub repositories. When I encounter a problem at work, I try to write it down so I can describe the issue in more details, which may hopefully help someone in a similar situation in the future.
  • Think about the question or problem for a little while, to see what I can come up with.
  • Write a list of items that I want to cover, this acts as my plan.
  • Describe the items in the list in more details.
  • Reference articles I've already written on the same topic.
  • Review the article using Grammarly for grammatical mistakes and typos.
