Ask HN: What are some frequent questions your non-technical team members ask?

6 pointsby Yadialmost 10 years ago
My question is more towards engineers here.<p>Sometimes the simplest inquiry while being in the zone can be distracting. I&#x27;m wondering what are some of those questions you get asked as an engineer during work?<p>For example, some usual questions are:<p>1- Is the website down, why it&#x27;s not loading?<p>2- Can you do this change to the text on the site right now?<p>Looking for more similar questions.

I think the most frustrating one is &quot;Is there something wrong with X?&quot; without any accompanying details. That&#x27;s not a helpful question at all. What part of X isn&#x27;t working? Is the server not responding? Are you pressing a button and it&#x27;s not doing anything? Are you pressing a button and getting an error message? Are you loading the page and seeing something unexpected?<p>Followed closely by the aggravating design critique&#x2F;question, &quot;Can&#x27;t you just make the page pop or something?&quot;
