I haven't logged into this site in years but had to for this, what a joke.

Good devs don't need anyone's help.

Sounds like someone who does a bunch of contract temp jobs and has to prove himself to stay the full 6mo. Everyone needs help. Its frowned upon to not expose blockers and continue to grind away at a problem alone. Newer devs and people learning programming, DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS GUY. Be verbose, ask questions and please for your sanity, ASK QUESTIONS.

If a newer employee does not ask questions I assume they are trying to impress me/the team with how good they are. I know exactly what you're struggling on and can help, I assigned you the task on purpose as a learning experience and to see what questions you are going to ask. Quit being proud and ask for help.
