1,000,000% this. If a senior engineer can’t explain it to you in a way you understand - even if you are a lot less experienced - that’s THEIR deficiency. Not yours. When this happens, it means THEY actually don’t understand it well enough.https://twitter.com/noahsussman/status/1170870234066165760 …
I am seeing all the time how people can't understand let's say rails conventions and prefer to ignore them to build their own ugly constructs in place of clean convention over configuration. So it's not about me not being supportive, it's about explaining being quite hard mostly.
