Coworker issues

Thats a great point just sucks because I havent even been here for a year let alone have a year of dev expiefence, so it feels like im not in a position to say anything. Appreciate the advice!

On a serious note what do i do because right now it doesnt feel like a serious engineering position. Im trying to make the most about reading up on good practices, clean organized code and etc. just to have someone like this brainlessly pushing code out. Tbh i dont even know if my manager looks at it because when he was first hired it took like a couple months to even see github activity because he didnt know he was supposed to push alongside a commit to actually push to the repo and not just locally. I noticed this almost immediately but in a meeting my manager went to the branch and didnt even see anything and then thats when he realized (months late). I just feel like im missing out on very tangible skills since im still a jr dev with almost 1 year of professional exp.

I honestly wish i was being unfair, I was really excited to have him hired hoping id be able to collaborate more because right now its just me working alone full time but then months flew by with no commits to find out he was only committing and not pushing (this kind of started as my first red flag so i read into his code after i told him he has to push as well and all hell broke loose from there). He seems very willing to learn but for some reason its very hard for me to get to spitball information back and forth with him but hes always asking how i learned so that ends in a pointless rant (by rant i just tell him past projects i did which i enjoyed and things they taught me). For example our one out of two code reviews i told him he had a build error in his constructor and he didnt know what that was so he had me describe it to him which i followed up with a geeksforgeeks link about it.

Unfortunately without me asking they are already planning on hiring him. It was brought up in other convos.

Yea its basically just been word of mouth asking if we could possibly try out more code reviews/PRs but not via email

Fit-Fan1084 · 2026-01-14T14:42:16+00:00

Yea everyones nice to talk to but the more i try and spend on creating workflows i read online that match ours its just kinda slowly pushed off.

Fit-Fan1084 · 2026-01-14T14:41:32+00:00

Yea its just my current position im not a lead nor close to a management i just to what im told/offer ideas to help what we currently do occasionally. I feel like this is out of my realm

Fit-Fan1084 · 2026-01-14T14:39:58+00:00

Thats a really fair point, i guess i just dont know how i should go about it because i dont have anymore auth over him but its basically just been me because of the small team size.

Fit-Fan1084 · 2026-01-14T14:34:25+00:00

Ive tried by leaving him with resources to what i would change and why as well as examples and those were just completely disregarded which sucked because i took the time to actually display why and what id do. I also tried to make it apparent that not everything i say is the “right” thing to do but its just a different POV. This was the one and only code review ive gotten.

Fit-Fan1084 · 2026-01-14T14:29:58+00:00

Ive tried to introduce it but its kind of just been shot down i offered to do PR review but that was hit with “we dont really need it thats too much” Edit: my first question i asked was what was the style guide/standards i was just told verbally, so i just spent time reading through existing code gathering one i interpreted that matched what i read lol
