Looks like i am too nice, but i see potential in them :)

I might try to directly help them a bit less.

I like giving them independent tasks that require some thought - but that aren't critical.

I spent a lot of time on helping out others. I'm perhaps a little quick on ruling someone out.

But i blame it on tight deadlines and multiple team members + seeing a pattern that works.
