I'm in a rough spot of being the only person who's figured out this new design program we have to use at work (ArcGIS). I have no degree, no experience, I just know how to read the docs.
It's gotten to the point that I have 8 people some of them technically superiors knocking on my door and calling my name out from across the office literally all day to walk them through a process that I've already shown them 5 times.
I was okay with pulling a bit extra at the start because I picked it up quicker, but I'm hitting the point where I'm just opening up docs and leaving and telling people of they can't figure it out they need to learn how to read.
personally i take notes if someone is teaching me something so i don't have to bother them again. i've found that if I keep having to teach people the same things its better to just write it up as a doc and link it to them or copy/paste and not engage with them further.

It definitely makes people actually learn when you stop just coming over to fix everything. Especially when it's small things
