Senior engineers: “Don’t be afraid to ask questions!”
Also senior engineers: “…but only ask ‘good’ questions, & don’t ask them in a way that bothers me”
the longer i’m in this industry, the more i realize that “don’t be afraid to ask questions” is one of the worst pieces of advice perpetuated in engineering & tech. i’m *not* afraid to ask questions; what I’m afraid of is having to ask those questions to assholes
