    When I ask a person a question im generally trying to get their perspective. Im likely asking a few people or will over time. Its honestly just a part of socializing and interacting as humans.

      I get questions like: why can’t I access this server, I followed the wiki page (first clue, they didn’t follow the wiki page). That’s not asking for insight, that’s asking for where they failed to follow a set of 5 step directions by doing things like: changing the default filename of their new ssh key to something they invented.

      GPT explained, far more patiently than I would have, how indeed to do 4 more steps and rename your ssh key to anything you want, but I did offer the insight: if you just leave the name as the default value, you can skip all of this extra work.
