I’m not sure if you’re just encountering some kind of confirmation bias or if things have actually changed on that sub, but I wouldn’t expect it to have ever been representative.
I just use Reddit as a news aggregator for some sports and hobbies, but I almost never go into the comments. I just don’t trust I’d get a good faith discussion.
I’m the senior program on a project right now filled with entry level developers, so myself or the one other experienced developer have to sign off on PR’s. What I’m struggling with right now is that the entry level developers have essentially two consistent deficiencies:
They take any review notes as criticisms, despite being told multiple times not to sweat it, that the PR’s are there basically to act as a mentor step as well as a quality check.
They are almost universally unwilling to reach out when there are issues in the code, despite me being available for paired programming essentially any time. In standups, I’ve basically learned that “everything’s going well” is tantamount to “I’m not sure what I’m doing”.
If you’ve got any experience, do you know any strategies to make entry level developers feel more confident? To trust that reaching out to me for help doesn’t mean I’m going to be upset or that it’ll reflect in their performance reviews? Etc?
Thanks!
