Not asking for help / debugging yourself helps you make a leap to a better understanding of the language. You will certainly remember the next time you see that bug and over time, you build up your own knowledge so you have ask for help less. Asking for help is just short-term greedy: solves things now but doesn't help you (or your company) in the long-term.

Or it'll mean that you repeat the same mistake over and over because you wrongly believe that you understand something.

If you don't check with a third party you have no way to know if you're doing things the best possible way. Or even the right way.

*If you don't check with a third party you have no way to know if you're doing things the best possible way. Or even the right way.

Wrong. How do you verify that the third party is correct?

I consider that to be asking for feedback, not help.
