However asking a good question doesn't take that much skill.  And if
you have come to a p* language as your nth programing language then
you should have had developed thouse skills.  Indeed its a basic skill
that anyone who regards themselves as technologically litrate should
develop.

I have found that often the prerequisite steps for asking a question,
working out exactly what behavour I desire, the behavour I'm seeing
and then isolating the code to a minimum required to express the
problem, often helps me solve the problem before I even have to post.
