Ouch! Just got completely burned by my tech lead, I couldn’t solve an issue and he says “Where did you study CS? You should know this just sayin.” (I’m not a junior dev btw)

It sounds worse than it is, he’s actually a nice guy and is challenging me to make me learn instead of giving me answers. But damn! That one hurt 🤕 lol

Am i the only one who thinks this is mean and your tech lead needs to learn how to give constructive criticism

Depends on their dynamic. If shots back and forth like this are common and understood, I don’t see an issue. If it was coming right out the gate guns blazing out of nowhere, then yeah it’s being a jerk.

I think he has confidence in you and thinks you can figure it out

I have confidence in you too. You can do it. 💪

Sometimes it is better to be told things like that, really does mean they actually care or what to see you succeed because they are pushing you to do better. Even though it is never fun to have your skills questioned! Just brush yourself off and back on the horse you go!

I agree, I had a lead early in my career that would just give me answers to everything or do it himself. This lead is making me learn how to learn.

I would much rather have than over a softie who does everything for me or sugar coats it. Have had both kinds and have always acceled much faster with direct, and sometimes "hurtful", feedback. But I suppose everyone is different.

I saw someone else do this, so imma give it a shot. Lately, I’ve been applying to iOS developer roles and I’m getting TONs of calls and callbacks from HR and recruiting managers, but then when my resume gets pushed to hiring managers they seem to often get peeved at how little years of experience I have with the title “iOS developer”…
which is fair, and to show my credibility I published my first app last week, but I’m still getting similar messages from recruiters this week. Idk what to do??
