But if you bounce enough ideas off the junior dev, some of those ideas will stick and slowly turn them into a senior dev. On the other hand, junior devs cost money and they waste a lot of water.
The junior devs are always taken into other projects when I need them the most :/ or was at least.
Plus it’s not like it matters anymore. I haven’t done anything but review code and prioritize backlogs and get yelled at by management that my development team isnt under control and that business doesn’t like it when I bring up things that will impact timeline when I was told the wrong priority of other shit.
I’m starting to feel like this Senior role is really just a new title for dealing with more bullshit and doing less productive work.
One critical benefit of the rubber duck is that it doesn’t make things up.
This is mechanically similar, I agree, but I think the rubber duck is still superior.
And, I think this should be a “lightbulb” moment for people.
You obviously haven’t seen me rubber duck debug.
I disagree. The rubber duck does not propose alternatives, nor does it point out flaws.
The flaws may be wrong, but then I have to justify it, which forces me to reconsider what I’ve written.
It’s like having a script monkey that never took a CS class to bounce ideas off of.

I sincerely wish you the best of luck in your future endeavours.
Ok thank you!
