I thought asking 'dumb' questions in our team chat was a bad move, but it fixed a bug in 20 minutes.
I was stuck on a weird error in my code for two days and felt dumb asking about it. I finally posted the exact error message in our work Slack channel, and a new hire in Austin had seen it before and sent me the fix. Has anyone else had a simple question solve a big problem?

Totally get that feeling, but I wouldn't call those "dumb" questions at all. You were sharing the exact error, which is just good troubleshooting. The real mistake is sitting in silence for days when a quick ask could unblock you.

Classic. I spent a whole WEEK once trying to make a button work. Turned out I was spelling "backgroundColor" wrong. The intern caught it in ten seconds. My pride has never recovered. Always ask the "dumb" thing.
