You have a point, but in my experience most of your colleagues are out so if you have questions it is harder to find someone who can help.
yep, a team with "enough" workers when everybody is there and not sick is understaffed, working in those teams can become a nightmare the whole year round.
and for questions the colleague does not know the answere to? we are atleast two people with a functioning brain, we can figure stuff out. Most of the time if a new dev asks me something and i have time, i'll comb through docs with them or we debug something together even if i am pretty sure what's to do, because i don't want to become a search engine for my colleagues, i want colleagues who can figure stuff out, so i'll show them how I figure stuff out, and I learn stuff along the way pretty often doing that.
if I don't have time I probably have some links that should lead to answeres and often enough a time window later in the day where we can talk, just because its christmas time and most of my meetings are cancelled :D
