My problem with apprenticeship is that my workflow simply isn’t optimized for performative demonstration. It’s messy, haphazard, and a junior would have to sit around watching me do a whole lot of nothing at times. I don’t want to teach, I want to get work done.

Juniors need to just accept they will have to learn the hard way, on their own, asking occasional questions and looking at tutorials until stuff sticks.

Any dev who consists themselves senior and hasn't developed some mentorship skills doesn't deserve the title. Even if it's just freeing up half an hour a week to pair program with a junior on something or talk through their current assignment.

performance aversiveness is a personal problem and should be worked through
