A 10 second conversations sounds like a slack message to me, or providing the guidance before they go down the rabbit.

The difference is you can tell on someone's face whether they're struggling or cranking away without bugging them.

"Give guidance before" is about as good a "just don't make mistakes."

No you can't. Also, this could be a slack message.

"Hey, I need you to take a look at #154, don't worry about the issues Jeff is mentioning, we just need you to fix the error in the form and write a test. If you run into any frontend issues, work with Mike, I already let him know you might be coming to him.

This is basic manager, Sr. Developer stuff.
