Just checking out IRC on sdf. I idle on
the following channels:
- #vim
- #anonradio
- #gopher
- #hurtdesk

The topic on #hurtdesk is funny:
Have you  tried turning  it On  and Off
again?  | Noob:  blah blah  blah? Leet:
Did  you  RTFM? Noob:  [yes/No].  Leet:
Then why are you asking me?

Reminded me of this little comic:
https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammerHumor/comments/xeo5ab/junior_vs_senior/

I've experienced  this having  stood on
both  sides. As  a junior:  keep asking
questions,  no  matter   what.  In  the
beginning it can  be a little difficult
to determine what an "allowed" question
is, you'll  get there and  don't stress
too  much. I've  seen juniors  becoming
quiet  and stop  progressing  due to  a
fractured ego. Don't let that happen to
you.

As  a senior:  be  firm  when you  need
to  be, try  to be  kind and  affirming
otherwise to get the best results.

To find balance is a challenge.
