If they don't last that long they were not worth bothering other people with, in the first place. Do your job yourself before asking for help.
I mean, programming is a knowledge-based job and you're expected to be able to learn on your own. It's not bad to ask for help once you honestly did your best and still cannot understand something, but giving up in the first paragraph of a man page and hitting IRC immediately is all kinds of bad.
