Let’s see what’s up this week…

Today’s question is:

I’m not a new developer, but I wouldn’t consider myself super experienced either. One thing I do often is ask for help! When I’m stumped or need review, I’m not afraid to message a team member for pointers. I always try to be nice and make sure to thank them, and I hope they realize how grateful I am. I’m curious if others here have similar experiences and, if so how you all go about asking for help!

Share your thoughts and let’s help a fellow DEV member out! Remember to keep kind and stay classy. 💚
