Maybe some developers yes, but me I always ask if i don't find the solution by myself :)

I hesitate between asking and not asking. I recently quit my job with no major, established near future prospect. When I was employed, on deadlines, I constantly kept asking questions, especially here on hashnode and I got quick answers from the community which is awesome. But for example now I've eye on gatsby static site generator, and I want to contribute to it, simply because I think it's awesome, and because I've nothing better to do. But I'm hesitant in asking its creator and maintainer Kyle, how to get started as a newbie open source contributor. Meanwhile, I've started hunting down issues I can take up, but with no hit so far (God it takes time to learn a new code base all by one's own!). Suggestions?

If I have many tasks on my list and feel I face an issue that is a struggle, but might be easy for someone who has faced it before, I usually post the problem somewhere asking for help. It's giving me time to focus on other tasks and return 2-3 hours later for an answer to my issue saving me lots of time.

yes :) most of the time depends on the team culture.

I think this is a behavioral question, you know people generally don't ask for help this make she is uncertain about something and this is uncomfortable for most of the peoples. But for developer's I think not, just see forum's around community's like Linux and some others you'll see the most of it sharing, looking and asking for solutions to solve their problems, for example, FreeBSD is old Unix system and they have a lot of information to learn, this implicate they'll face hard problems with usage of the system, but you clearly see community's, forums and others, like FreeBSD Facebook Group, to solve, share and ask about anything related to system.

So my point is, most of the developers ask for help, but some just have shame to ask or problems to deal with doubts. But you know, people are different and this may variate for people to people.
