I think this needs to be said: if you’re trying to get better at thinking, looking at expert-novice differences (and, specifically the bits of expertise research that studies expert-novice differences) is a really, really good idea.

This is overly reductive and not scientific, but I see expert = intuitive process.
I try to emulate behaviors/patterns/frameworks and build intuition through questions.
I rarely waste time asking about implementation/execution details, I work them out as I go.

I find that I get far more value out of someone by trying to understand their intuitive process instead of asking them for specific advice.
Specific advice is immediately useful, but narrowly applicable. Emulating behaviour and building intuition is slow but widely applicable.
