I grew up being told not to go to someone with a problem and without a possible solution to it.
At minimum, this works better than going to someone with a problem and without a solution.
Better yet, is to go with questions. Questions about the problem. Questions about solutions.
Sometimes you may be able to think of the one greatest solution to the problem, but often it’s one mediocre solution, a solution that could be made better if you had asked the right questions and gotten others with a variety of experience involved.
There will always be someone better than you.
Why not seek them out, ask questions and arrive at a better solution?
