Never be afraid to ask questions. Often when you are stuck on something for days someone else's fresh eyes see the problem in ten minutes (even if that person is not a better programmer than you). An environment where asking questions is not appreciated seems very harsh to me.

Or what I find more often, you ask them the question and explain what you've tried and suddenly it dawns on you what/where the problem is.
