Better to figure things out on your own than learn that you can always interrupt someone else when you get a little stuck.

Days are often wasted because you do that. That is at best, I'm now up to 4 different implementations of a complex protocol (at months each to build and debug) because nobody asked a question.

sure you shouldn't just ask for every problem, but don't struggle too long when someone knows the answer.

I wonder if there’s a middle ground between interrupting constantly whenever you have a problem and wasting days searching for a solution?
