This may manifest itself into blame of the technology. We can avoid this pitfall by allocating time on the job and away for research and really absorbing underlying principles and purposes of any new technology. This will give us added clarity and lead us to understand how to appropriately use a technology to get our job done. Basically, upfront know that there are things to find out, figure out and research, and this should alleviate some axiety and ultimately some undue blame.

I really have experienced talking to coworkers help alot...even if they are not capable of solving the problem but it helps immensely to discuss as it changes your though process and you solve your problem on your own.

Searching through other folk's code certainly helps to understand how a library can be used.
