I have zero trouble mentoring juniors remotely. These are kids who grew up playing videogames online and it's extremely easy to mentor them via regular teams call. Being unable to do so is a skill issue the part of senior devs to properly leverage modern collaboration tools.

> via regular teams call I actually find that mentorship happens best in irregular interactions, as the help is needed. Secondarily, I find that personal connection/rapport is invaluable in delivering feedback, and is possible but more difficult to do via screens.

Is that on your resume? "Highly skilled in properly leveraging modern collaboration tools." Wow, sounds impressive, haven’t seen that before, tell me more. I'm really awesome at Zoom.
