Indeed. I actually really enjoy teaching and mentoring, and do a lot of it. I’m also quite experienced with Excel, used to be an analyst before I became a dev, so I’m often the “Excel guy.” When other devs come to me for help, they generally want to learn, and I’m happy to teach them. Most devs are really into learning technical skills. Same goes for MOST product managers, sales people, etc. But there are definitely SOME people on the business side who actively DON’T want to learn technical skills. They have some report they have to do, it involves Excel, and they just want me to do it for them, they don’t want to learn how to do it themselves. Generally I’ll help these people once or twice, but after that it’s “Google it.”
