Yew, if only we could assign a senior engineer to watch over every new person that joins /s

Part of learning to be a sw developer is learning how to go about your work. Learning when to ask for help. If someone is doing this for you, you'll never going to learn.

Why the /s? I happen to agree with that statement.

Part of being a senior engineer is to use the mentorship skills you developed along the way and make judgements about how much struggle is right. Every new person should have a more senior partner with whom they can ask the dumb questions and not be made to feel dumb.

> learning how to go about your work
