Told junior to study a certain topic and send them the docs of the library we use for that.

Junior told me that they knew the topic and it was just a matter of refreshing it. On standup, they proceed to say that they are studying that topic, but then a few days later, ask me “is it okay that I’m studying this instead, it uses the same syntax [proceeds to send me a link for a library with a completely different syntax than what we use, that is actually incompatible with the project]”

🫠 am I expecting too much from humanity by thinking that someone would at least wonder if a library is being used ?
