I mentioned this elsewhere in this thread, but something I've seen first-hand is that people sometimes with less time in the industry will assume someone else more senior "knows everything and shouldn't need help". So you get this imbalance of knowledge and it becomes "why don't you know this already?" instead of "what can we do processes/documentation/team knowledge-wise?" to bridge the gap.

I think once you spend enough time in the industry, you learn that even younger/more "inexperienced" people could have better skills or knowledge of certain things (certain types of message queues, certain parts of a network stack, React, etc etc) than someone with more time. It's important to figure out how to balance that. But many people kind of gloss over it or frame it as "well why _don't_ you know this??"
