"Fourth, think of this practically. You're squandering so many opportunities to teach and help the engineers on your team grow. I love when someone comes to me and says, "this doesn't work," because it is such a great chance to teach someone how to use precise language to describe a process, which is a very important skill in software engineering. It's a great opportunity to show someone how to debug a problem! " I am OK with this from time to time but there are plenty of people who are simply too lazy or incompetent to figure out things themselves and want somebody else do things for them. I generally enjoy helping but I know people who even after I type their question into StackOverflow right in front of them and read the answer to them they still don't get the hint to look up things themselves.
