Question Frequency as an Intern

Hi Taro Community,

I am a software engineering intern at Meta. I carefully watched your amazing video series about asking great questions. Even though manager notices I am able to unblock myself, I just received midpoint feedback that I am asking too many questions and need to be more independent.

1. How should question-asking frequency evolve throughout the internship? I believe it is expected that interns ask very minimal questions during the last 3-4 weeks of the internship, but am not sure.

2. How much weight does each performance axis contribute to the overall rating? Is a slightly weaker performance in independence axis still sufficient to justify a return offer assuming strong productivity, coding quality, and communication?
