Solving things faster is not always the goal. I make a point to fully "rubber-duck" the problem before asking for help. Is this slower, yes. Does this build deep knowledge in a way that is superior to just being handed the answer, absolutely. Knowledge comes from direct experience - if you always rely on someone else's direct experience to get the job done, you might move faster in the short term but are missing out on a vital part of learning.
