Without knowing what sort of character this other dev is, I can't say if this would work or not... But my best generic suggestion would be to combine research with asking a colleague for help.
Basically, if you can find a few examples of what you're trying to do, instead of asking "how can I do XYZ?", you could ask "is this a good way to do XYZ?".
One of my responsibilities across my last few jobs has been documentation and FAQ resources, and I can say from experience that how a question gets asked makes a massive difference.. -
@ZaLiTHkA that’s a great idea!

Well... Erm...
Help me out,
Being a front end dev I suck at back end. I can do some stuff but some of the concepts and other things I really struggle to grasp.
Sometimes when I’m real clueless or have no idea how to do a task the best thing to do is ask one of the senior roles but whenever I ask him he rolls his eyes and huffs and puffs. I get it dev is quite a independent thing and you should do research etc. But it makes me feel so bad and I suck as if I don’t get the question he asked correct or I don’t understand he gets real impatient. I really do try I don’t want people to do it for me of course so I want to to understand but I just get moaned at. What do I do???
