wanted to share :)

"Software folk are very good at putting their headphones on and living in their own little bubbles. This reinforces the idea that software development is some sort of mythical or sacred practice that should never be interrupted, and it makes people second guess whether they should ask for help. This isn’t what you want in a team. You want people to be comfortable asking for help – that can be the difference between a successful & productive team who ask for help as soon as they’re stuck, and an unproductive team who struggle with their work in silence."

I love helping everyone, and I know most people love to help, but my usual first reaction to needing help is to resist asking. After 5 years on the team I'm starting to get more comfortable lol :)
