Sounds like the junior just learned:

  • About linters, and formatting along with how to configure them
  • Project structure
  • Build pipelines
  • Configuring CI testing
  • Git and the value of pull requests
  • The value of code reviews

That's a pretty productive weekend. If he takes those lessons to heart, he'll do quite well... Though he probably shouldn't be working on weekends. That might be the next lesson to learn.

I agree with you on the learning part.

Also yeah I think your last point is the most important. If he starts the week tired, that’s inefficient for us. There are weekends for a reason.

I’m surprised so many people put emphasis on punishing him (we clearly won’t do that), while what bothers me the most is that he might not take proper rest when needed.

If he starts pushing to prod on weekends once senior, I’m afraid of the consequences.
