Some people are not cut out to be developers. If they cannot grasp the concepts, they cannot do it no matter the teacher. This is not a reflection upon you, nor your tutoring abilities.
A koan:
A gourmet chef makes delicious food
and wins many prominent awards.
A duck enjoys a variety of fish
but the chef can not teach it to cook them. -
@Root that waa fucking beautiful

@Frederick it was CSS, nothing related to positioning or creating something from 0 - just tweaking existing values and adjusting colors to the values that were already defined by other teams.
I guess I'd understand if it's a backend trying to do something elaborated without previous knowledge on the front but it's a person who claims to have 7 yrs experience working with front...? -
@Root the koan is amazing, thanks for sharing! I don't want to be the person snitching but I don't really see another solution.
+7yrs experienced dev start at the company. I need to onboard this person.
Gave 2 simple bugs to solve, it couldn't solve either. Asked so many questions that I had to stop, solve the bugs myself and give the solution. Which raises the flag that this experience might be a lie.
This person doesn't really listen, so I don't want to tutor. Even though I can already feel that my manager will say that part of the responsibilities of being a senior as I'd like to be, is to tutor newcommers (I can count on my fingers the amount of seniors who actually tutor, but I know this is not an excuse).
Guess I will feel forever frustrated that I cannot get the damn title.
