Haven't been frustrated with them yet. Will probably be if they give up and stop making progress.
Naturally, to make progress, they ask a lot of questions. And that is great. Knowledge should be shared, not held by those who got to it first.
Of course, I expect them to first try on their own - either to figure it out, or find an answer online. I am not Google, nor StackOverflow. Once they put some effort in, I am more than happy to help.
Juniors are a great way for me to grow as a mentor/teacher. They are also a great tool for detecting issues with the pre-existing, well, everything. Juniors don't know why things are as they are. So they ask. And should be encouraged to ask. Often, I find that the reason for something is no longer in effect, and the thing can or should be changed.
Just, you know, be kind. Be thoughtful. As happy as I may be answering your questions, I have my tasks as well. Respect others' time and effort, and you'll do just fine.
