Using the Socratic method is being direct. It's directly showing the junior what their thought process should entail when they're writing code. I don't ask these questions because I get off on sounding superior, or want them to play guessing games. I ask these questions because they're the questions I ask myself when it's my work, and part of my job is demonstrating how they should approach their tasks.
