I’m a junior-mid level web dev now and when I first cut my teeth my senior dev was very much a wall. It wasn’t intentional but when you do something for 10 years, you just forget how it feels to not know what you don’t know.

It made me really start to learn on my own and figure out how go from 0 on many different skills. So personally I really think it’s about the junior and how much they’ve figured out their learning style, and being “a wall” like this can sometimes force them to learn by reading through all of your old code. Inadvertently leading by example is still really good

In short don’t sweat it
