atheist98438yIt's a hard call. I do at times try to solve problems I could just Google but I definitely wouldn't waste a day on it.
I'd be a bit worried. -
I hate it when newbies don't try to figure it out themselves first. I don't generally have that problem with my new hires. They are awesome :)
-
Hmmm the best way is to let them figure it out themselves. You did good there, just direct them to Google :)
-
mekna458yCompared to other rants, I wouldn't be worried at all. The guy understood you got a point and complied with you instantly.
-
I think you should be worried when he can't solve it even after googling. I came across devs that react the same as this one, but when they learned to Google everything they are stuck at, things got better
-
You gotta take it easy,you never know he might end up ranting here in a few months 😊
-
@francis-regan yeah ... but he didn't ... I had to end up googling it for him because I was going to be off for 2 days, and the thoughts of another 2 days of no work scared the hell out of me
-
@mekna ... yeah so the same guy has asked me about 6 times this week, about an issue. Each time I reply "is there an error in the console" and each time it's like the first time he heard that.
Genuinely worried I will have to teach him how to google -
@azous yeah, shocking turn of events is that hints have gotten worse since. Who would have thought it ...

Today @ 4pm:
New dev: I need help with this issue, i've been stuck on it all day.
Me: ok let's look ...... ok, and did you try google this?
New dev: ... no
Me: ... why?
New dev: well this is clearly my issue, why would I google it? I only google for things I don't know
Me: ... ok ... we'll do you know what this bug is then?
New dev: haha ok, fair point, I'll give that a try. Thanks for the tip.
Seriously, should I be worried? I feel worried
