I manage a team of fully remote junior developers, with some seniors mixed in. In my onboarding speech, and throughout their first 90 days, I am constantly emphasizing them to 'Be bold, ask the stupid question' as it highlights gaps in our documentation, onboarding process, or general knowledge graph.

Also, I am very up front with all of them that I am here to keep them challenged, but they have a ripcord they can pull at anytime if things get too stressful or if things get too easy.

I am very conscious to say 'If things get too stressful' and NOT 'if things get too hard'. A stressed out engineer is no good to anyone.
