   Am I the only one that feels bad when the new guy really puts in an effort and figures out how to do something in 10 overly complicated steps, when if he'd have asked I could have told him how to do in 1 command?

     @SonoMichele I still FEEL like I'm the new guy, but then I remember I've been here for 12 years and there's virtually no one still around that has seniority over me. That's when I have a panic attack over just how screwed we are if something goes really wrong. :)

     @mike sometimes those 10 steps allows him to learn more than just condensing things

     @mike mentoring PFYs means to let them explore on their own, offer hints, then let them find out how to improve. Afterwards, there will be two types.

     The ones that get frustrated and start to complain; you can let those go.

     And the ones that accept the challenge to become better and learn from the greybeards and are thankful for pointers; those become the padavans.
