+    Don't ask only technical questions.
+---
+
+As a Software Developer, it's common to hear that you need to ask questions to progress or work efficiently.
+
+You shouldn't just ask technical questions, though.
+
+Also ask questions like:
+
+- What do we want to achieve by delivering this feature?
+- How do we know if it's a success (or not)?
+- What business value does this add and who will benefit?
+- Why do this now? Why not wait a few months or not do it at all?
+- Is there an existing solution for this?
+- Can we achieve the same or a similar result in a different way?
+
+As well as knowing how to do something, it's important to know why it needs to be done.
