Mentoring a new hire made me rethink my whole approach
Six months ago I got paired with a fresh grad who asked why we still use spreadsheets for tracking when the team could just automate it. I laughed it off, but after sitting through two days of her building a simple script that cut our weekly report time from 3 hours to 20 minutes, I started questioning everything. Has anyone else had a junior coworker show them a method that completely changed how you work, and if so, how did you adjust without feeling like you lost your edge?
