You misunderstand. It is not that I have never had issues with compilation or linkage, but that a Junior Dev should be able to learn how to perform the compilation, learning the vagaries of the architecture and build system.

You mention Enterprise development among other items. Making a shim or method for onboarding new devs is exactly a way for one to advance in Enterprise development. Therefore the Junior Dev should take this opportunity to learn the internal system and create a way to simplify its use for others. Not doing something like this is a trap that many Junior devs fall into, even when a Senior dev hangs the opportunity out in front of them.

I get what you mean, but I was more referring to build issues that are strange or unusual. Something that even a senior dev would raise an eyebrow at.
That makes sense.
