thanks for the comment. Not asking for help is a big mistake imho. it comes from fear of judgement, imposter syndrome, confidence etc. but it causes lots of stress and harms projects and teams.

we should be all more humble, ask for help and remember we are all constantly learning.

Of course sometimes we have to bang our head on the desk to finally find the solution and learn. but I think often

the problem is more related to how we ask for help and what help we get rather than finding the solution on our own.

Too many times i see junior (and less junior) devs not asking for help, but asking for the solution, and they are disappointed if I make more questions than I give answers and often in the end I point them to github issues or documentation pages (which contains the solution or could help find one) :-)
