In a recent performance review I was admonished for asking so many questions. My coworkers were assuming that I didn’t understand my job. I had to explain that I ask questions to make sure I understand the “why” of things. Not because I don’t know my job.

This! I sometimes also get the look of "why would he ask that, doesn't he know what he is doing?" but I'm just making sure I get things right and probably understand them myself.

I tell every new dev my 30 minute rule. If you can’t solve a problem or at least find the path to the solution in 30 minutes, ask a more experienced dev, again in 30 mins ask another. Most problems are solved in under and hour this way since 2/3 heads can do it that much faster.

Completely opposite experience here. My very first programming job, my manager pulled me aside and told me to stop asking questions and figure things out on my own. Hard to know how much effort is enough when you’re just starting out.

And get the hell out of places where you’re routinely ignored or maligned for asking questions. I even brought up one time that I wish comms were better, so next day out of spite everyone bombarded me and made me so stressed :( Sometimes remote working sucks.
