In the boss mind : My junior dev need help. Hey Senior dev, can you share some advices with him. Thx.
In the Senior dev mind : My boss want me to share my knowledges and advices with this Junior dev. Ok lets go.
In the Junior dev mind : I do not need this advices as they are useless.
If you want to tell him that you dont not need help, you have to prove it. Prove that you do not need help. If you dont, your boss will stuck in this idea. Prove to senior dev that you do not need him.
So the question, its how do you prove that you are able to dev without advices ? The best way to do that is to ask to the senior dev : What is your advice to solve this problem ? Senior dev : "bla bla bla" You : "I got it, thx. But, (if something is wrong), i think this way is better and there is why : "bla bla bla"
Repeat this 3-5 times :
• Problem occur : Think about a solution
• Present your solution and ask advice about this.
• Choose between the best solution.
Cheers !
