I don't think you finished or understood what I wrote. Juniors knowing what to do, what to ask about, what is worth asking about, comes from interactions with management and senior engineers. That should be happening regardless of remote or not. If management and senior engineers aren't cultivating juniors remotely, they won't do it in person either. Remote management doesn't abscond them of that responsibility.
- JambalayaJim 3y agoInteractions with management and senior engineers are 1000% more frequent in person. Both because passive interactions are more common, and because people in person simply take more of an interest. > Remote management doesn't abscond them of that responsibility. No, of course not. But it does (1) make them care less about it, (2) let them get away with doing much less of it, and (3) make it much harder for them to do.
