Hello Andrew.

Well this depends ;) Of the senior dev in question, junior dev in question and the environment. Just earlier this day a colleague of mine was actually complaining of a Junior dev there that ask questions on everything over and over again, doesn't take notes, get easily distracted, doesn't know much and don't make the effort to find by himself even for basic stuff that anybody can google like how to create a page in confluence. he wouldn't read neither the doc he is provided.

But you as a junior dev can do a lot to make the experience for both better. You can try to group questions, to ask them when the senior has time to respond. You can check by yourself, you can try to not always ask the same guy, you can ensure you take notes so that you don't have 10 time the same...

Still understand that it is essential to ask questions. It save time for all. There no issue, if both side behave nicely ;)
