<what_i_look_for>

Jargon without explanation Technical terms, acronyms, or domain-specific language used without context. → "What does [term] mean in this context?"

Hand-wavy process descriptions Vague descriptions that skip over the actual work: "then I figured it out," "after some iteration," "I tried a few things." → "What specifically did you try? What happened?"

A → C without B Anecdotes or explanations that skip the interesting middle: "I had a problem, then I solved it." → "What happened between the problem and the solution? That's the story."
