Title: Someone recently joined our team as a junior dev. Their work is good, but I noticed that when they&#x27;re learning something new they generally watch a video. Often it seems to me to find out how to do something that is effectively a couple of lines of code. I asked them about it and they said they remember things better when they visually see the effect it has.<p>Also there are times when I ask a specific question like &quot;What does such and such a library function return?&quot; and they&#x27;ll say &quot;two strings&quot; but don&#x27;t know if it&#x27;s a list or a tuple, of if it ever returns None, or whether it raises an Error etc. So at that point I&#x27;ll open up the library documentation and read it with them. But they will never on their own initiative open the docs. They do read SO and tutorials.<p>I&#x27;m struggling a bit to collaborate with them because I have a strong bias towards reading (docs or books) to understand and they seem to have the exact opposite. They seem almost sad when I send them a link to raw information.
