If he was in your team it would be your fault. I think you just need a healthy balance of senior/juniors on the same codebase.

As OP said they were siloed from each other and he definitely needed some mentorship. I've seen devs like that turn to incredible coders just after a couple of months of pair programming.

Yeah that is a great point, I would have never let it get to this point.

That is 100% a pet peeve of mine: Places that hire perfectly capable jr. engineers and then fail to give them the support they need.
