Bug reporting is a super power. Learn to write up good issues!
I was fighting a bug in some software (that I was writing) for a couple of hours. I was pretty sure the problem was that I wasn't understanding an interface to a system I was using correctly. I spent a few minutes to write up an issue ticket, making sure I knew what I was doing and could reproduce the problem, to ask for help. While working through it ... I found the bug.
That happens to me a LOT.
I thanked support for their help.
