This acts as a natural filter: lazy people get flushed out, you only keep those who are disciplined, self-relient, curious, respectful, willing to work hard.
At larger scales, well-known sources like stackoverflow greatly reduces this duplication by providing answers to all questions that people who are too lazy to read code or documentation could ask. I don't mean to be dismissive, I do it more often that I should, but at least I *known* that it's a bad habit.
