I definently agree to this post, but unfortunately, I have different experiences. During my time I had an internship. Most of the time I asked for help, the senior developers found it quite annoying and told me to Google harder. Even if I struggled and were Completely stuck. They kept telling me to Google even 4x harder to find the solution. How can a completely newbie, fresh out from the school expect to have any experience?
I felt helpless, insecured and vurnable. Thank God we have Discord today. Without that chat program, I wouldn't even know what to do.
That sucks to hear. I think a lot of it stems from more senior developers forgetting what it's like to be completely new to the tech industry and being stumped by everything. They remember the times they were able to get themselves unstuck via Google and believe that they've been able to do it on their own all the time.
The ironic thing is that the information you find from Google is usually blog posts written by people who took the time to carefully explain their understanding and give back to the community. If every developer's answer was just "Google it" instead of trying to give back, there would be no information for which to "Google".

Thank you for your support! I wish more senior developers would think like you. It would make the world a better place ❤️❤️
