Your teammate's code is causing project delays. How can you help them improve their efficiency?

- Firstly, I will try to understand the problem statement, then I will try to analyze where my teammate's development phase was at the exact point and the blocks they were facing to move forward. - After some analysis of the problem statement, I will either try to provide solutions, support, and collaboration, or I will do pair programming with my teammate and complete the task together. - If the deadline is too tight, then we will refine the problem statement, break down the problems, and brainstorm to find a solution. Once the solution is found, then we will split up the task again, each of them owning some part of the task, and resume the development phase to meet the deadline.

Helping a teammate overcome coding challenges is all about support and collaboration. I usually start by having an open conversation to understand their perspective on the problem. Then, I encourage them to break down the issue into smaller, more manageable tasks, which often clarifies the path forward. Pair programming is another great strategy—working through the code together allows for real-time feedback and new ideas to surface. And, of course, sharing helpful resources or examples can sometimes spark that "aha" moment.

Through out my experience, usually the first step to aware what's the issue/roadblock. After knowing the issue, usually I would provide my point of view on my personal solution if I do know any of it. If it doesn't, we would figure out together if I do not have much task on going but depending on situation. But example in game industry where I belong to, I would often create tools to help the team to improve the efficiency based on the problem. No matter on the game engine or 3D software.
