Actually that's probably the worst piece of advice I have heard.
My first job programming was with some introverted people who were fairly smart, on a very poorly documented system. It was really difficult to ask anything, and when I did they were not very good at explaining and I felt kind of stupid, and just went back to staring at the code. Nearly got fired from that job for not being productive enough.
Took another job, and decided to learn from my mistakes - I asked a lot of questions, especially in the beginning, and needless to say that one job went a lot better.
