The main goal of a Software Engineer is not to write code but to solve problems. This isn’t exclusive to our industry or domain, engineering in general is about problem solving.

If your job is about solving problems and your initial reaction to a problem is to ask somebody else to solve it, then you aren’t doing your job. It goes without saying that one should ask questions to de job properly, and to figure out how to solve problems as well.
