Nice one!
Every time I see the kind of dev that just keeps things to themselves, I feel like: "OK mate, you won't be less experienced or professional by sharing your wins nor struggles!". It doesn't matter how silly your question is, just ask it!

We should also be careful to consider that sometimes this behaviour is systematic of a bad culture.

It's possible that Dev has been in a company where mistakes are penalised, instead of learnt from, and has had to keep everything to themselves for job security.

While it's a bad trait, and damaging to teams, we should also be looking to help and educate instead of ostracize.

P.s. please don't take this as me accusing you of doing this, I just decided to use your comment to provide some more info. Perhaps I should add an edit to my post with this 🤔
