@geekygirldawn I tell more junior colleagues when they're on support rotation that it's a triage role and they can ask for help. Make a reasonable effort, but you don't need to run yourself ragged. If support cases spike call for help. If everything is on fire call for help. Go for lunch, look after yourself*. I've also been telling team members they can ask me stuff and that helping them is part of my job (you call me a Staff Developer, I'm going to assume I help develop staff). This is something I have identified I need to do more proactively in my new(ish) team. My view is more senior developers have a proactive responsibility to help more junior developers, without discounting their skills and opinions or removing all their autonomy. *this is very "Do as I say not as I do" to be honest
