I am scared to ask another team question about my work without checking documentation twice because I'm scared I'll ask something that's already covered in detail somewhere.

I am very good at asking stupid questions. Thankfully, my teammates are patient with me.

Can you imagine wasting the time of one of the brilliant minds of our times and it turns out to be user error?

I would say try to sleep on a problem before reaching out for help if time permits. Probably isn't good for business but it is good for my personal development.

Exactly what you say; sleep on it first. Make sure you've done your background work. But then, don't be afraid to contact them.

Are your questions really so stupid, are theirs really so much smarter when they ask, or are you being harsh on yourself perhaps.
