Junior: I don't think the methodology you came up with is working.

Me: Why?

Junior: There's an exception when I ran it

Me: ...what exception

Junior: FileNotFoundError

Me: ......have you checked if the path to the file is correct?

Junior: No

(A few moments later)

Junior: Oh I forgot to decompress the zip. Nevermind.

    I’m amazed at how often beginners fail to read, or act on, error messages.

    @platypus it's not just beginners. I've had to tell even senior developers to maybe try reading their error message first before asking for help.

    @Lyniven yes this is beyond being “im a junior who has to learn”. I don’t get why search engines or basic reading is so hard for “devs” these days

    He’s another “help me, what is meaning of jquery” type who abuses this place bc he can’t figure out the complexities of a damn search engine. Im amazed he can use a computer without hurting himself, let alone a pair of scissors

    The first thing I tell an intern or a fresher is how to use debugging tools in the IDE, and respond to error messages, put breakpoint, see what is wrong.

    The second thing I tell them is to Google if they don't understand what's causing the issue.

    You mean you didn't even develop an ML based file detection and parsing system to have it automatically find and (if necessary) decompress or download the file?

    Junior Dev is gonna be Lead Dev soon I think.
