If you're diving into the world of programming for the first time, or making the jump from hobbyist to "junior professional", it's easy to get intimated by more senior developers. Indeed, while often well-intentioned, senior developers often forget how it feels to be a junior engineer facing their first challenges, or makes it hard for them to tailor their questions and replies to varying levels of experience.

If you're a beginner, this article is here to convince you of a simple (but sometimes hard to believe) truth: it's not you, it's them. I hope that, armed with this newfound knowledge, you'll be able to advocate for better-tailored help, and feel empowered to push back against non useful advice.
