"Good Developers Don't Need Anyone's help"

We're only engineers. We're only developers. AND we're only human...

I used to try to tackle things myself... Then a teammate called me out one day and said " we're only engineers. We don't know EVERYTHING. If we need help, or if we're stuck in something, feel free to ask!"

There are MANY gotchas in what we do for a living... All the frameworks, language syntax, etc... We don't know everything. And asking for help definitely speeds things up and saves us hours upon hours of looking through documentation.

With all due respect, I hope you're not a team lead with your views on what makes a "Good Developer".
