@geekygirldawn I think the balance is important. It’s certainly not a good productive experience for the person, the team, the employer if a new team member spends lots of time and frustration searching for readily available answers. However, especially in tech jobs, I also think it’s vital to develop some kind of scientific curiosity, some urge to explore, some tolerance for and endurance of tech issues not readily solved, and also to question (in limits) existing architecture and technology.

@geekygirldawn Or, as they say, “You never get a second chance for a first impression,” which is something I tell all my new team members. Get back to the team with everything and anything you find good, or curious, strange, or even wrong! Especially in your early days, when you have not yet been fully “absorbed” by the organisation.
