Take your job seriously.
I often have felt that Jr. Devs I have mentored only live up to the "Jr. Dev" role. They only do as much as they think a Jr. Dev should do and often leave work for a more Sr. Dev instead of at least trying to take a stab at something.
Example: a JR. Dev has trouble implementing some candlestick graphs. Instead of trying to work through the issues and document his thoughts in the code and ask for advice. He just leaves it untouched, for many days, then a week, before someone asks him his progress then says "while I can't quite make it happen" when really nothing has happened.
- suhas2go 8y agoThis is something I'm personally following right now - so it struck a cord with me. I see other Jr. Devs simply stick to their roles, I cannot do this - I try to understand a feature/project and work according to its requirements and not just do my work
- jason_slack 8y agoI would hope that no Sr. Dev ever scolds or looks down on another dev for trying, regardless of skill level. I'd rather someone try than twiddle their thumbs. Good luck.
