What do you guys do, if you don’t know which keywords to google for your particular problem ?

Wish me luck, I tried to ask on Stackowerflow.
If I’m not responding later, send help!

    Type the problem is generic form in google. Look for words that might match your issue. Refine your question. Repeat.

    rtfm

    sounds generic, but it works 95% of the time.

    This happens to me a lot. Try redefining the problem.

    No: "why do I get a, when I expect b?"

    Yes: "why do I expect b? And what is b really? How does it differ from a?"

    Yes: "functions take things in, do some stuff, and return something else. So I'm putting in x,y,z and getting a. But I want to get b. So what should I put in to get there? What do those change?"

    Also make sure what you want is what you actually want. Don't end up with an XY problem.
