I just started to participate in hashnode. But it informs me to ask a question here. Why do I really need to ask question? I may write answers or some stories to become an awesome hashnoder.
Do you agree that we must ask question(s) for becoming an awesome hashnoder?
I think to become a nice hasnoder (and developer) you need to have a lots of questions, about all the things. Curiosity is nice, and discover new things it's better! For this reason, always make questions, and sometimes respond to others' question, it's all about questions and responses, not only here :)
Hashnode is still relatively young. In order for Hashnode to have quality contributions and answers, there needs to be quality questions to answer and contribute to. I certainly see your point, but until Hashnode matures a little bit, it would make sense to have an incentive, such as being an "awesome hashnoder," for posting quality questions in order to generate quality answers.
Sometimes when I'm scrolling through questions I find a question that is interesting in the sense that I wouldn't have never thought to ask it. Sometimes questions spark interesting discussions because a single question leads to more questions being asked. I think asking questions is just if not more important than answering them because for me I get a lot out of both. On Hashnode there are no dumb or stupid questions so that makes it a fantastic environment and community to ask questions.

In my opinion, there are two parts to why asking questions is awesome (and because of that, you become an awesome Hashnoder by asking questions):
What came first, the question or the answer? Right: No questions, no answers. So in order to help the platform become awesome itself, it is vital to have questions. The higher the quality of the question, the higher the quality of the answers. So try to ask good questions which spark a discussion. We are not StackExchange. We want to discuss, not solve (we have a discussion of the day, not a question). We are not only machines, we also want to put a social aspect to it. That's why Hashnode is the nicest and greatest community I know. You are awesome if you can be a part of it. Asking questions is a part of being a Hashnoder :)
Never stop learning. The question is: Why should you not ask questions? By asking questions, you can learn a lot about things you did not know or how others think about a certain topic. Asking questions will help you become more liberal, as you can see that there isn't always one answer to a question, but it depends on who you ask and what their arguments are. Very often, you do not even dream about what kind of things are important to others. Asking questions will broaden your mind!
