: This post discusses that a junior should be asking questions, updating too frequently, or over doing it, I get that point. The author is trying to make sure the manger is never left with suspicion or doubt about the junior “is he working on something?”, “is he even working?”, or “did he understand the problem right?”, because time is precious, and no one wants to waste time, and resources in rabbit holes. Rabbit holes are great but not always and too much of them can deviate you from the problems in a broken way. So I agree with this advice, however, think before dropping the message, don’t try to spam, avoid jargon and I think the communication needs to be to the point. I sometimes get too nerdy or too off-topic in some discussions, that we have to get on a call, yes that happens. No one is perfect, everyone is figuring out life.
