Yeah, it's a balance. I love being able to help, and I am generally in favor of asking questions early, but not ones of the form "hey so I ran this code and it errored. Help?"

"... did you read the stack trace? Did you look at the code referenced by the stack trace?"

This is where I've learned responding with "Sure! What have you tried so far?" is relevant.
