We've mistakenly hired a few of these sort at our company but they usually don't make it more than a few weeks at most. They don't deserve positions as software developers in my opinion. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink.
I am OK with this from time to time but there are plenty of people who are simply too lazy or incompetent to figure out things themselves and want somebody else do things for them. I generally enjoy helping but I know people who even after I type their question into StackOverflow right in front of them and read the answer to them they still don't get the hint to look up things themselves.
