>sitting on it for a week wondering when I'll get in trouble. Mandatory participation in a meeting isn't going to stop that. You take the proactive approach and ask for help, but you're asking in the meeting. Why wait? Fire off an email to the last person to look at the code? Send a chat message to the person who wrote that segment of the spec. Flag down your favorite senior developer on their way back from the restroom. The question or problem can always wait until the daily meeting to be resolved, but it can't be answered until you ask.
