Actually, interestingly enough:

> But throughout the four and a half years, he never once reached out online by asking questions or speaking to another developer for advice. He hates asking for help.

Perhaps he did some searches but it sounds like he never interacted with a site like StackOverflow.

It seems to me that he only read answers, documentation, etc. Do not actively ask questions

True, I think that is the way most people use StackOverflow, searching, finding answers and not very often contributing in the form of questions, answers. I either find the question I have or something close enough that I can work from there to a solution. Rarely if I have something pressing that is time sensitive enough I go to the git repo page and look at the source and try to figure it out from there or see if anyone has suggestions there, or do a fork and try things with that.
