Notes
This talk requires only the ability to present slides.
As a Jr. Developer, assistance from those who know more is vital to my career. But more than that, when one teaches someone else, the person teaching reinforces their own understanding, and both parties benefit. I feel this talk would help a lot of developers, of all levels.
A natural researcher with a history in Psychology, I’ve been interviewing Jr. and mid- level developers to find out what real developers feel has been most and least helpful from Sr. developers over their careers. This talk will aggregate these stories into a cohesive recommendation for developers to use.
