I really hate this thing where "not knowing stuff" is kind of the worst thing that someone can admit in tech-world. This is why so many people struggle to learn things, are afraid to ask questions,...

All these "everyone knows this!"-guys and their not very funny "jokes" are just so not useful or helpful. Especially in spaces that are MEANT for learning things!

@Jules I started out as a boot camper, and they emphasized the importance of asking questions and being open about being confused/not understanding things.

Working professionally in the field, I've never stopped being open about that stuff and try to encourage others to do the same. Communication is key and everyone benefits from knowledge that might not have been shared if the question was never asked.

Anyone who snarks in reply is a horse's ass! And it comes off as insecure.
