And your manager wanders over and sees you haven’t written a single line of code in the last three hours and makes a mental note that you might need a kick in the pants to get up to speed.
I’m pretty good at hunting bugs but once in a while I just can’t figure out why something isn’t working and if I had to worry about being “that guy” because I had to ask for help I’d…well, things would go really bad really fast.
