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 …

There are other ways to explain than in-person. I’ve worked with senior devs who preferred to write things down, some who liked slack convos, some who liked drawing diagrams, & one who maintained an amazing test suite that served as executable docs. But SOMEHOW, they must teach.

Yeah. No one would characterize me as highly socially proficient, and most of the mentoring I have done was over DM or slack. Same for the mentoring I've received.
