A comment on Ask HN: What do you talk about in 1-on-1s with your managers?. Parent comment
Juniors may need to have regular checkups so they feel they have the space to ask questions, particularly if the manager's calendar is busy.
Others might have personal problems but don't feel they are important enough to book a specific slot.
There's value in making it a regular thing. Maybe not to you, and that's fine, that's something you should define with your own manager.
But careful in not falling into dogma, or one size fit all solutions that may inadvertently exclude talented people from your teams.
