@jestdotty
I see, that's an interesting view.
I am just so used to dev working independently that I am quite shocked I met someone with enough experience behaving like him.
He won't survive in our company if he keeps that attitude.
@SidTheITGuy
I told him that the other day, let him work alone, but as a result, he accomplished nothing until the end of the day 😬 -

COWABUNGAAAAA it is then,
report them to the manager and/or threat them with it. sometimes you need that threat of getting fired over your head for your real productivity to kick in. -
@asgs
A PhD is not a requirement. We have several people with STEM background (non-CS). I have a master and a lot people with bachelor degree.
To be fair, he's not really that bad, he managed to finish several of the tasks assigned to him. It's just that I expect more of him as he has a PhD and several YOE.
I was hoping that he can be my peer, discussing and exchanging ideas. Instead I feel like I am babysitting him, even though we're on the same level

@cho-uc since it has been a few months he is your team, maybe it is time to push him into battlefield and get things figured out especially if he has already completed several of his tasks assigned already. You can promote him to a release candidate from being an alpha/beta Engineer
Can someone tell me how a mid level developer with a PhD from EU country is unable to work independently, conduct investigation by himself without too much hand-holding?
Is he too allergic to use google search?
Or is it me that have too much expectation? He's been in our team for 3 months, he should be able to search docs/procedure/files by himself now. Is it me that are too workaholic nerdy and he's just a normal person?
🤔
Thankfully he's the nicest person in our team, but I am getting fed up having to answer his questions many times.
