The best programmer is a teacher
OH RRLY?
It’s awesome to help people
teaching will accelerate your own learning
you can get started right away
Hi!
Looking back...
1 Start with the basics
2 JavaScript. Really.
3 No Bootstrap.
3 No Bootstrap.
4 It’s a workflow thing.
5 Nobody cares about your favorite editor.
The tools that you use, are - to a large
extend - incidental. Josh Susser, panelist at Ruby Rogues
Life is too short to not be happy with your
editor. And it’s way the hell too short to not be happy with anybody else’s choice of editor. Chalain
6 BDD rocks.
7 Teach them the lingo. (to a certain extend)
8 Don’t let them fake it till they make it.
and dependency injection in this particular case is great because...
Said no-one ever.
9 Get back to it later.
10 Learn 2 languages. (just maybe not Java)
11 The matrix.
Did you try turning it off and on again?
12 Let them teach you.
13 It is not easy. (stop saying it is)
14 StackOverflow.
The Downs
Help ignore the people who rain on their parade
Help overcome the imposter syndrome
Quit the dev wars.
Open Source is brutal.
Survival of the fittest in the open source world is
a pretty brutal mechanism, it works well for pro- ducing quality software. But boy is it hard on newcomers... Google’s Chris DiBona
The 1ups
People rock.
Better way of problem solving.
