It really depends on the team. We don't all suck.

Unfortunately, the teams that do suck are also the ones who are constantly hiring.

it will never change because some people never learn.

I used to bend over backwards for new devs to help them. what I realized after some time that at least 75% of those devs never learned anything and continued to cling to me for help. my quality and work/life balance suffered from it.

now, I give help. once. I do not repeat myself, and helping is the last thing I do. work, life, balance.

I know I come off as cold or an asshole, but that's purposeful. I want new devs to learn the way we all learned, through time and pain. nothing worthwhile ever came so easily in this world.
