I work a lot with junior devs, and in my opinion, learning everything is super-hard and rarely works. If you have someone that barely knows JavaScript, don't expect her/he to pick up React, connect it to Redux, fetch data from a GraphQL resource, and transpile it from ES6 to ES5 using Webpack and don't break in the process.

Learn one thing at the time. Remember, being a programmer gives you the privilege of not knowing something. Wether you are senior or junior, saying "I don't know" or asking for help won't make your co-workers think less of you. And you shouldn't too.

Hi Tomek!

I completely agree with you! is impossible to move forward and learn a new tool, library or framework and made it work inside an environment you have not completely understand.

Also, I like your advise and I will walk with it under my arm, accepting you don't know something or asking for help should improve your collaboration and relationship with your co-workers.

Thank you for reading the post and taking the time to comment and provide advise!
