Can you elaborate? What are the juniors stuck on? Usually if a junior doesn't understand something it means the naming/structure is not as clear as you think. One of my favourite things as a senior is having a junior peer review my code, the places they have questions is a great sign the change needs work.



I didn’t mean stuck “on”, I meant stuck “with”. I say this because juniors are often tasked with fixing the odd, seemingly easy bug, but if they don’t know the code base well, and especially if it’s not well documented, it could be a challenge, often requiring the seniors to work with them.
