One of my favorite senior developer stances is "I should be annoyed by how many questions you're asking me"

I want folks to ask questions as much as possible. When it becomes too much I just implement "office hours"
Companies have outlandish hiring practices. They want juniors who already know everything. That's why admitting that you don't know something is seen as showing weakness to the company in the eyes of a junior. Also, not knowing things will actively keep you from getting promoted.
I'm sure it's not like that everywhere but it's juniors playing the corpo game.
