some more hot takes, for those starting out with being a developer lead or similar... or a project manager... or even just a regular developer...

If someone isn't asking questions about a project or task, they've like not understood what is being done or what is expected of them
it's a code smell... and you should spend time with them to make sure that they are asking questions and that they are grokking the problem.
anyone can write code, but it is the communication that we need to spend time on... reading, listening, asking...
even if you're an old hat developer, or starting out, it's okay to not know everything... it's okay to ask.
Even after 20 years of making internets and stuff, I will still ask people things, since we're a small company, I will ask people outside of my immediate sphere...
Recently I had to phone a Friend to ask questions, because I simply didn't grok something... it's a good way to go talk shit, learn some things... expand brains... hat tip to @kev_nz and @kirkataur (even though he's playing in the snow)
