I've always hated it. Don't kill productivity and the creative process (which at its core will always be individualistic, no matter how much the "team players" scream otherwise) by trying to combine mentoring with what amounts to bad live code reviews and "collaborative" micromanagement (just delegated to - or self-imposed by - other devs rather than managers themselves).
If it isn't clear, I have nothing but disdain and mockery for the terms in quotes above; at least in the ways they're so commonly misused/abused in toxic tech workplaces (also, "culture" usually equals "cult").

There is accumulated knowledge, ideally in accessible repositories. That's completely different. Nobody expects every person to re-learn every human discovery from scratch.
The more actuate analogy is this: Unless you're live coding by choice, the internet isn't staring at your screen and following/critiquing your every move. And even if you are, it's going to be far from your most productive attempt at writing code.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.

Can you expand on this?
Are you a bee or an ant? There is no such thing as a human hive mind, no "collective brain."
What about the internet?
