β Don't answer questions
Instead, help a trainee answer their own question.
If someone asks “How can I make this text green”, instead of telling them, consider answering:
- What could we Google to find that out?
- When have you done something similar?
If someone asks “Why is this text green?”:
- Make them ask a better question
- Ask “What techniques do we have to work this out?” (have them identify that devtools could be useful).
Helping someone craft a good search will help them much more in the future than giving them the answer.
