I believe communication is the right way to keep team members at the same stage, so to speed up the process, but over-communication is not just a waste of time, it also puts me into bad mood, that is, easy to be irritated.
The difference between junior and senior engineer is senior engineer knows more, so he/she can make his/her own decision without bothering other, and for most time (sure, nothing is 100% perfect) the decision make sense. If a senior acts like a junior, asking question for all the time, and wish you can make decision for him/her, this is incredibly bad, I found I lost my patiency from time to time.
What I was thinking if put this kind of people into his/her own projects, so we can have a clear interface (or agreement) between project/components, pity I failed to make it for this project as it was kind of urgent, and I was handling some other chaos thus I didn’t put much effort on planning. So, I deserve the punishment, and I have to deal with this kind of people for another one or two weeks. Let’s pray, that I won’t yell at them.
Funny thing is, this kind of people used to announce they know this and that, seems everything, and eager to take “interesting” projects – I don’t care they take more as long as they can take care of themselves, as it means I can take some rest, but if they take project from boss or some other team members, but then ask my help for too much, I won’t feel happy, and I’ve already let others knew that I was doing the project indeed.
Let’s see.
