In an interview, is it self-defeating to say you use StackOverflowStack Overflow to find errors in code?

Let's suppose that at a job interview they ask me "what you do if your code does not work?".

I tell them that I read the docs to look for the error, I isolate the piece of code that doesn't work and try to change it to make it work. But in the end if I can't find the answer I ask on StackOverflowStack Overflow.

Would this be self-defeating?
