Discussion on: Why Every Junior Developer Needs A Senior Developer

I wish I had a senior developer to work with on some projects in my current position! Currently, we all work on our own projects and at times, as a junior dev, it's been a daunting experience. It's hard to ask for help when the senior devs don't have visibility on your code work, your daily pushes to the main repo and so on, so they aren't able to jump in and offer input.

Now I look at my old code and cringe, and try to refactor when the time allows.

Sounds about right! It is usually nice to at least get a Sr. developer to look at it before you push it to the main repo..but sometimes that just isn't the case.

Sidenote, if you're old code doesn't make you cringe. You're not learning :).

That's what I tell myself to get through bad days! :)
