If you are a Senior Developer, who is comfortable giving a Junior tips, and then guiding them to fixing them (or just stepping in for a brief moment and writing where they missed something) this is for you. I'm hearing from Senior devs all over thought, that Junior developers are just garbage at it. They product slow, insecure, or just outright awful code with it, and then they PR the code they don't even understand.

For me the sweet spot is for boilerplate (give me a blueprint of a class based on a description), translate a JSON for me into a class, or into some other format. Also "what's wrong with this code? How would a Staff Level Engineer white it?" those questions are also useful. I've found bugs before hitting debug by asking what's wrong with the code I just pounded on my keyboard by hand.
