A good senior would explain the "good reasons". A bad senior would be annoyed that the choices are questioned. As a leader I tell my "apprentices" to always question me what the reason is for doing something. Being in a leadership position is not just about your pupils progress, it's just as much about your own learning. You learn a lot when you have to explain stuff. It can be very humbling when you try to explain in-front of your team, being questioned, and then discover that you where wrong.
- jariel 6y agoOften the reasons are not clear because they are not documented it, often only the dev who did it would really know. Also, it's probably worth taking note of 'fresh eyes' because they have the advantage of hindsight which is often good. That said, there usually complex elements of incumbencies so I do think it should be some time before people have too much lean in.
