Sadly, while question-asking is encouraged, question-answering is not. I can't count how many times I've asked something--to the group as a whole or to an individual--and it's just been ignored.

Do you find the "sink or swim" the best technique, or just the way it's done?

Does everyone have someone they know they can go to for questions? I've had times where asking a question to a group, it could be ignored (everyone assumes someone else will take care of it). But if you can have a one-on-one with someone, I haven't had those instances ignored.

That's just how it's been done. I do think, though, the best way to learn a system is to work on internal, non-critical projects.

We're a small team, but just today I was in the middle of a Slack chat with someone and told him I was lost, but never got a response.
