▻https://hackernoon.com/mentor-influence-on-juniors-mind-a86c653e983b?source=rss----3a8144eabfe3Photo courtesy of pexels.comEverybody loves the concept of #mentoring. You will both help your padawan and clarify things for yourself. Maybe you will also get a promotion for such activity. So, there are no drawbacks at all and if you have a chance, you should try it. But hard-hearted senior developers usually forget: a junior is shivery and vulnerable. He is almost like a child who needs to be taught everything in this unfamiliar world. And his further career depends a lot on his mentor.I said goodbye to my last mentor a few months ago, and I had been almost under continuous care before that. I had five teachers. While my experience is fresh, I want to share it and warn those who are passionately willing to learn from irreparable mistakes. Or just publish a bullet list for juniors to (...)
