Junioring Senior Developers
summary
Senior developers lose sight of being a beginner and focus on fixing code instead of growing people; root causes include missing empathy, ad‑hoc onboarding, and vague review feedback. Practical fixes include pair programming, mentorship rotations, an onboarding checklist, and code review templates that standardize feedback. A tested onboarding flow and checklist create repeatable first-week tasks, formalize shadowing and review expectations, and reduce newcomer blockers while accelerating productive contributions.
