i HATE having to hold other junior devs hand through THEIR work 😩

What kind of stuff do you hold thier hand on?

@champion01 simple task management procedures

Like tickets and version control usage? @developerTom or more code oriented questions? Thanks!

@champion01 tickets and version control

@developerTom - ah, they should know that stuff... Or know how to solve it themselves. There's a ton of resources online. I guess that's why they are juniors

At my office it's all about team work. Sure, it's not the most fun but it's better if they learn properly, don't you think?

@simeg - 100% ya. But some things they should know. Like how to revert a commit. Or how to document a ticket "change-log". But for sure teach each other. It's a delicate balance..

@champion01 @simeg I understand and I'm all for teamwork and working together.. But there's a level of common sense and "you are a dev too, you should know this stuff". I don't like showing people how to manage a simple file system or navigating on a commonly used platform that they use on a daily basis as well.

Maybe I'm just hungry..

@champion01 at first they might not know, and that's why someone has to show them.

If they are lazy and ask because they don't want to learn then they have something wrong with their attitude.

Being a junior dev myself I know how it feels like not knowing stuff that seems natural to seniors, but be nice to us. We just want to learn :)

@simeg oh and I don't know if I conveyed it or not - I am also a junior dev that has been here equally as long as this other dev.

I get grumpy when I'm hungry too! Questions are good! Just not the same question over and over. Learning environments are the best

As a non-junior you should be helping all juniors learn any part of their job, you only stop being a junior by learning from those who have done the job already. "You're a dev too" isn't a good reason to expect someone to know something. We all have different skills and that's what makes development so exciting
