A skill honed by years of chasing those reputation points on Stack Overflow!
Edit: perhaps I should explain. SO is known for people trying to grab points by being the quickest to answer a question. If you're there first, you may get upvotes, and it can snowball from there.
Of course we all want to provide useful help and advice, not just chase points.
But those points are delicious. I even have them on my resume!
So a common trick is to quickly answer a question with the bare minimum that could possibly be helpful, so you're among the first to be noticed. Then start editing and revising the answer to improve it and make it really useful.
It is a strange strategy, but if you do it right, it's a win-win: you get the points and the satisfaction of helping not only the original asker, but hopefully anyone else in a similar situation.
I actually liked what I saw in the screenshots and will give it a try.
