useful, especially for async teams
one thing though: a lot of “bad questions” come from systems giving incomplete signals
200 OK no errors in logs
but the actual failure happens after the request (timing, retries, downstream)
so people aren’t asking poorly they’re asking from incomplete signals

It’s also meant to be lightweight enough that you can just link it (or even set it as a Teams/Slack status) as a gentle nudge rather than having to explain it repeatedly.
I’ve also been thinking about encouraging AI as a first pass / rubber duck, but not sure if that’s the right balance.
Would really appreciate feedback. Especially on tone and what actually works well in real teams.
