The mindset all junior developers should have

Short summary

Junior developers should bring proposed answers before asking questions, own code collectively rather than individually, understand every line of AI-generated code before shipping, compare progress only to their past self, and prioritize sleep alongside career growth. Seniors should mentor juniors—it's the highest-leverage activity possible, turning junior engineers into autonomous developers who eventually unblock entire teams.
