I really like this style too. When I get asked to do 1 on 1 teaching sessions I often find myself teasing out answers by asking a bunch of questions using the Socratic Questioning[0] strategy.

A couple of years ago I wrote a blog post on "Would Socrates to use Docker today?"[1] which uses Socratic Questioning to help pick a tech choice. If anyone is curious on how to apply it to technology, that post goes into a bit of detail. It could also be directly applied to solving specific programming problems too. I use it to make a lot of decisions.
