TIL my apprentice knew more about grounding than I did

Got into an argument with my 22 year old helper about bonding a sub-panel last Tuesday. He pulled up the code on his phone and showed me where I've been doing it wrong for 10 years. Anyone else have a young gun straighten them out?

Right there with you. Had a 24 year old engineer call me out on transformer bonding a few years back. My old journeyman taught me one way and it stuck for over a decade. Kid was right though, code had changed and I just never updated my brain. It's humbling but honestly I'd rather learn from a kid than keep doing it wrong.

Keep a code book in the truck or the app on your phone and check it when something feels off. That 24 year old saved you a potential headache down the line.
