Yeah, I definitely don't agree w/ this. Even good developers get stuck. My specialty is native mobile app development and front end web development. But I may need help w/ my DBs/backend, cross platform, Machine-Learning, there's so many things in development that I don't know well. Unless you're a tech god who knows everything, everyone needs help at some point.

Development is a team sport. Even freelancing can be a collaborative effort. Failure is part of the business, and rejection is part of getting a new job/promotion or pitching a new project. Software engineering is huge space and even the best developers don't know everything. Mobile, Web [ Front, Back, Full Stack], DevOps, Machine-Learning, Data, etc. its impossible to not ask for help, advice, or even ask for 2nd opinions.
