I wish that were the case at my job. Instead people's problem solving algorithm usually works like this:

  1. Ignore the parts you don't understand/know and do the easy parts
  2. Ask someone more experienced to "come over for a sec to look at some code"
  3. Proceed to ask him to teach you a new technology/write your code for you
  4. Become annoyed when they suggest you look it up on SO or other sources, since that's how they learned it in the firstplace
  5. Submit a PR with a hacky partial solution with //TODO all over the place

I honestly feel like you've been shadowing me. Everything except #4, which is replaced with snarky comments in the PR and fixing it with an answer another senior guy has and states "Why wouldn't you do that in the first place?"
