The problem isn't asking questions, it's that many beginners just want the answer..they don't want to actually put the time into learning how or why.

Another common problem I see is asking questions without doing simple things like a Google search.

I've always been a self-learner. Bothering someone else with questions is usually the last resort for me, unless I'm on a tight deadline or I really can't figure something out (or it has to do with some undocumented feature/api/etc that I can't guess).

You learn so much more in the process.
