Onboarding is hard even as a senior. On the one hand interruption is expensive: https://heeris.id.au/trinkets/ProgrammerInterrupted.png https://heeris.id.au/trinkets/ProgrammerInterrupted.png On the other hand, spinning your wheels trying to figure out something for an hour is expensive. I've never really found a solution to maximizing my "interruption budget". Inevitably I end up both spinning my wheels too long sometimes and interrupting too much at other times. Meanwhile trying to solve this problem also consumes way too many brain CPU cycles.
