Every once in a while I get reminded of the relief junior devs feel when they come to me or other more experienced people and we don't know the answer to a problem, and how valuable that is.

I think a lot of tech (me included) struggles with not wanting to be wrong or seem stupid, but it sets an unreachable expectation on ourselves and our junior colleagues.

Junior devs: if everything is confusing, you're not stupid

Senior devs: let people see you mess up

@hauntedlatte I love getting stumped.

Recently I noticed some of my devs starting to rubber ducky problem solving and code discovery techniques with me and it was pretty great.
