I needed this for hosting an archive of documents and images that I didn't want to sort and create html pages for. Without something like this, I'd get an ugly directory view that's different browser by browser.

This solves the problem and it looks elegant. Great work.

It's also fear. You're a new software developer and you just got your first job. You see how much more the other developers know than you and you're intimidated. "Well, I don't want to look stupid". You don't ask questions that you need to because of self-imposed fear and it stalls learning.

You make a good point. I noticed that the developers I enjoy working with are those that are vulnerable about their knowledge gaps. It's just easy to toss ideas around with someone that is open and willing to show they don't know everything.
