People are scared to sound stupid but there is no stupid question. Even after 10 years of software engineering, I still learn new things everyday. Whenever I join a new company, I'm the dumbest person there at the beginning... Until the next recruit arrives :) Putting yourself in the position of always being the dumbest person in the room is the smartest thing you can do. You never want to be the smartest person in the room... EVER. Sure, it feels great, but you don't learn anything. By always putting yourself in difficult situations, you become more adaptable and better rounded as an engineer.
