One of the things I’ve noticed is that those people are the same people who before would spend 3 weeks on something before coming out with a copy of the docs that doesn’t actually solve the problem at hand, but it spits out a result that almost matches what you asked for. They never understood the problem in the first place, they always just hammered until the nail went in - now they just have a different tool.

Everytime I have to mentor juniors, it’s more productive to get them to articulate the problem and their initial solution. It’s often sufficient to highlight (mostly for them) how little they actually know about the problem itself to actually rush to solve it.
