There must be a good enough programmer at your work, try to get as many pole requests reviewed by them as possible, and make clear that you are eager to learn.

There must be a good enough programmer at your work, try to get as many pole requests reviewed by them as possible, and make clear that you are eager to learn. Unless they are totally burned out, I bet they will be thrilled to pass on their wisdom(even if it is only relative). Even the same information that you could find in a book will feel much more compelling to act on if you hear it from a person. Obviously, you should write down all of their generalized advice, and make sure that every poll request in the future incorporates it. Within six months you will probably be getting very few comments as you have 80/20 internalized their experience
