This is a good trick for more senior developers: ask the question that you think the less experienced developer is too self conscious to ask even if you think you know the answer. You normalize the asking of questions among your group, helping everyone to feel OK about exposing their ignorance. And you also might get the answer the junior need.

And you'll be surprised - you might not know the answer after all!

Such a good idea. I'm only 10 months in but this would help. I'll remember this a few years down the line!
