Google (or whatever your favorite search engine is) is a fantastic resource. Really.
Case in point - I spend as much time - if not more - googling for solutions as I do writing actual code. The only time I ask a question here is if I simply cannot find anything resembling an appropriate answer that already exists somewhere on the internet. I'm not a trail-blazer, so the way I have it figured is that SOMEBODY has already done (or tried to do) whay I'm trying to do. Unless you'tre on the ABSOLUTE BLEEDING EDGE of development, the answer is probably already out there.
Put in the time to search for it yourself, because you may accidently stumble on another approach that is simpler and/or more appropriate than the way you originally envisioned handling your problem.
Be a developer for god's sake.

That's not the way kiddies do things, these days.
Why go to all the trouble of thinking, when you can just go on facebook or google and talk like an idiot?

Face it. There are 2 types of people:
0: Self-reliant problem solvers
1: Help vampires
You know you're in trouble when Google returns < 2 pages! 
I've only asked 1 question in the 12+ years I've been here...and that was because I simply did not have access to the SQL environment my customer was having problems with. (availability groups)
I've only answered a half-dozen or so questions in QA (when I was really bored) but have found it to be a thankless experience and not worth the effort.
I also wonder if the 'give me codez' mentality is more prevalent in the millennials/younger generation where they've never had to work to find their own answers. Before Google when we started doing this, you had to be type 0 to even get by. Answers were found on the local MSDN or in thick paperbacks...usually accompanied by a lot of trial and error! (and swearing!)

While some individuals may be thankless, I used to take time out and answer questions because it was such a fulfilling experience all by itself (at least for me). Also, you learn plenty by reading other Q&A ( not all of them I know the quality could be really be low with some questions )
Of course, I could be out of touch with the attitude accompanying the Q&A enquirers today as it's been 10 years or so since I was actively and regularly answering queries, and things may have changed (for worse?) since then.

Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I've been lightly reprimanded because I am 100% this kind of person and I'm also way too stubborn. Sometimes I could have saved a lot of time just by asking, except that it's not in my DNA.

I have tried to make my colleagues understand this a few times using almost the same sentence. I think people are just lazy when they try to get the answer to their problems out of someone rather than thinking and researching about it themselves.
Maybe they're saving the energy for the apocalypse.

I used to save energy for the apocalypse, but I switched to saving ammo, water and MREs.

No, I do not.
Asking the way you are doing is considered rather rude - you should not demand code on forums, but instead politely ask for help.
Moreover, you posted this on the wrong forum (Check the forum rules on the top of this page) : you should go in the Q&A section, where you could get more help.
