A good question is so much more valuable than a good answer.
As a whole, we humans tend to spend way too much of our lives chasing the right answers to the wrong questions.
A question grounds you - it gives you a place to start exploring. Depending on where it locates you, you can find your way to what you're after or get lost on a self defeating wilderness of bad data and positions.

I am getting trainings in moderation of groups and questions are the best and most powerful weapon of the moderation. It is an ![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) ing difficult skill to do the right question in the right moment.

More practical, not answering what the client asks, but what he means is a very difficult skill, but extremely useful.
A recent example I have:
The client asked for extra confirmation when exiting an old VB6 application, but what he actually wanted is that a background task in said VB6 application keeps running.
He hoped that people wouldn't close the application with an extra confirmation.
Of course the correct solution was to build a service for the background task.
Some people aren't able to form a correct question, like this guy who only knew the VB6 application, but didn't know what a service was (just like the original VB6 programmer, it seems).
Maybe his question should've been: Do you know a way to keep this background task running even when the application is closed?

Elephant this. I'm off to the CP bug reports.
I just made a new post, clicked on the edit your sig, changed it. First post okay. Second post back to my old sig. Something is broken.

I'm pretty sure that that is by design: you change your sig via the Username dropdown "My Settings" and selecting the "Forums and QA" tab.
The one on the "Message" page is a temporary change.
Temporary change!

OG is correct, permanent changes only in your settings.
Message composition changes is only for that very message.

I temporarily abandoned SVG processing in favor of TinyVG. I'm not done with it. The specification document for the file format is atrocious so I'm looking at the code.
But the code they provide is in Zig and although that will interface with native C, my embedded toolchains don't support Zig.
So C++ it is. Lots of porting. Zig is Rusty. That is to say, somewhat Rustish, syntactically. I don't care for it. Particularly I don't like the exception handling. Ugh. What is wrong with try catch?
And local functions (functions nested in functions) are annoying. Remind me never to use those in C# either.
I don't get why people would produce a potential standard using a newish language that hasn't really matriculated or cemented itself among developers yet.
Providing a C or even C# reference implementation would get a lot more mileage, IMO, just because more people know it, and what happens if Zig never catches on like happens to so many new languages?

Many have tried to find a better C then C but C and C++ are so embedded in embedded that it will be almost impossible to unembed them.
Although I kinda like Rust, it's not well enough established yet to make it to production.
ZIG is interesting but I don't think it will take off.
Plus I found years ago that most developers are not willing to learn another language for day-to-day work and with the way that code is currently developed I can't say as I blame them.
If it ain't broke don't fix it.
