That's a good point. Although it has also created a community that welcomes asking others for help and input, and usually without judgement, even if it seems like a pretty basic question coming from someone with experience. See: StackOverflow. You'd think that would be a self-resolving dichotomy.

You've also made me realize that this is also why people in tech are often unafraid to tackle other projects outside tech that they have no experience with. We're used to being able to look up how to do something or ask someone. This is bleeding over into the general population now, of course, but it still seems most prevalent with tech workers. My father was always the same way -- before the Internet was much of a thing -- but back then it was much more uncommon to be a DIYer.
