Please don't make junior developers feel they're a burden.
Have you ever googled "how to mentor junior developers"? It's quite mind-blowing how many articles, talks and panels are on this topic. And yet still junior developers are not feeling welcomed in their companies.
Yup, you guessed it, we also have something to add (based on our own experience):
1. Asking for help is not easy. Please don't blow juniors off by telling them to read docs when they ask a question. Always assume they've read it and did a sprint to solve the problem. They ask you, because they see you as a mentor and really need your help. If you can, spend more time with them and guide through the entire problem solving process.
2. Please don't think "I learnt it this way so you should too". If you're in charge of teaching a junior developer, don't expect them to be a carbon copy of yourself. Because even though in your opinion your approach is more "pro", they might not be there yet to use it properly. And last, but not least:
3. Of course, juniors will compare themselves with seniors on their team. And there'll be moments they feel so guilty and so afraid that they cost the company too much, that they need training, and supervision, or are between projects and are not bringing in any money, and they'll fear that their company regrets hiring them. Make sure they don't feel like a burden. As juniors, we often
have this misconception what is expected from us.
Dear tech companies, please set very clear expectations and tell your juniors you're happy. Don't get us wrong here. We don't expect unicorns, roses and pats on the back from companies. We do understand- this is business, and at the end of the day we all are here to make money. To do so, companies need to make smart investments. Junior dev with a great assistance, planned support, and a clear training program will become a great asset. It really is as simple as that.12 -
GOD FUCKIN DAMMIT
I WILL FUCKIN KICK YOU ON YOUR FUCKING THROAT.
Programming Languages and Linux groups in facebook are a fuckin pain to watch.
Some people make groups so all can benefit and help each other, talk about mutual interests, BUT NO SOME FUCKERS WILL SPAM SHIT AND MAKE YOU WANNA SMACK THEIR FUCKIN HEAD.
THERE IS A FUCKIN FAQ SECTION THAT ANSWERS ALL THE FUCKIN NEWBIE QUESTIONS. WHY THE FUCKIN HELL YOU SPAM IF YOU HAVE NO FUCKIN CLUE WHAT THE HELL YOU ARE DOING?
You come to a python group and ask if it's possible to get context from a site. I'M NOT MENTIONING THE FUCKIN FACT THAT THIS IS A SIMPLY FUCKIN QUERY TO A SEARCH ENGINE ALSO IT'S MENTIONED IN THE FUCKIN FAQ. Let's move on. We tell you yes, there is BeautifulSoup for that. After 5 fuckin mins YOU COME AND MAKE A NEW POST THAT SHOWS YOU CANT FUCKIN ITERATE A GODDAMN FUCKIN LIST. I'm not pro either, i don't forbid you to learn, BUT FUCKIN LEARN THE BASICS THAT ARE PROVIDED TO YOU FROM GREAT FUCKIN RESOURCES BEFORE TRYING TO ATTEMPT SOMETHING MORE COMPLICATED. AND IF YOU NEED HELP PROVIDE CODE THAT WE CAN USE. NOT A FUCKIN PHOTOGRAPH FROM YOUR MOBILE
Let's go on the Linux groups.
SINCE YOU FUCKIN JOIN A LINUX GROUP YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHAT THE FUCK IS LINUX. IT'S A FUCKIN OPERATING SYSTEM RIGHT?
Then you spam shit like, UBUNTU OR MINT 5 MINUTES AFTER SOMEONE ELSE MADE THE SAME VERY QUESTION 30 MINS AGO. WHICH WAS ANSWERED AGAIN YESTERDAY.
"What are the benefits of Linux". NONE YOU TWAT, IF YOU NEED ME TO TELL YOU THE BENEFITS OF THE SYSTEM THAT YOU USE THEN WHY THE HELL YOU BOTHER.
Next.
You say you have problems setting up XAMPP. We tell you that since you are on linux better use LAMP. You ignore us and spam your fuckin problem with XAMPP. IM GONNA FIND YOU AND IM GONNA MAKE YOU CHEW MY FUCKIN SHOES YOU PIECE OF SHIT.
I'm not even mentioning the kali wannabe hackers.
Conclusion:
DO A FUCKIN SMALL RESEARCH BEFORE SPAMMING THE SHIT OUT OF STUPID FUCKIN QUESTIONS. AND IF YOU CANT EVEN SEARCH, LEARN TO ASK IN ENGLISH THAT IS FUCKIN UNDERSTANDABLE SO SOMEONE CAN GUIDE YOU ABOUT WHAT YOU SHOULD SEARCH
OH FUCKIN GAWD IM GONNA THROW MY LAPTOP OUT OF THE WINDOW8 -
So...
I'm pretty sure that my satirical, educational, metaphor-esq, response was warranted... but just to check:
I'm having an issue with an online gambling platform... I'm in the USA-- recently several states allow online gambling. This specific one is a huge company so extra careful about proxies etc. To play via browser\desktop you need to install 3rd party, constant, network verification software... network architecture pro with my company's network, manually written ofc, running my static IPv4 /28 from my home = f that
app version even told me i had to uninstall rustdesk (it thinks i obeyed)
the issue is nothing controllable from client side... it's the same problem regardless of device, os (android phone, tablet, and iPad... fresh factory settings, bare bones and container versions... yea I was using it to procrastinate), network type, etc, etc
so i finally take the time to take a video of the issue (would be super confusing via screenshots)... even compress it to 1.5x speed and 240px, leaving the full screen (not cropping) and metadata intact. I point out that im a dev, and even worked for online gambling platforms...
i quickly mention all the noob troubleshooting bs, that i literally know every bit of data that moves on my network... that this issue is identical on both an iPad and android phones (so totally different apps\OSes)... the "live support" already tried(my req) totally deleting then reissuing the problematic promos... 'deleted' one persisted...etc
I clearly lay out all this info, even suggesting they forward it to someone in tech... give them the specific model numbers and OS builds of the primary devices(ipad and android phone)
...
I get back, an equally long, form response... summary:
we r soooo sorry you're having trouble
we care sooooo much about your\customer experience!
the tech team says (heavily implying it got escalated\forwarded) if you try these things itll fix it:
*imagine every generic troubleshooting guide from the early 2000s, plus a few notes like "(smartphone)"*
...and i shit you not, it even gave instructions to restart devices, power-cycle my modem\router and clear my browser cache. (all clearly nonsensical to anyone who read my initial email with a vague knowledge of English and/or tech)
Despite only having 1 valid hand to type with, i type nearly 70wpm (on my prefd keyboards)... so I lectured them, explaining their disrespectful bs clearly... and including a dumbed down metaphor relating a friendly request for a specific salsa recipe using\not using specific available ingredients... and replied to with a children's description of what a tomato is.
Explicitly gave a second chance to actually read the initial issue\email and forward or respond appropriately.
I was way more polite than my depiction seems...too polite.
soooo... i sent an additional email response...
i changed the subject so it'd still align with their ticket system but also identified the rep, with heavily implied disdain.
the contents of the additional response:
Dear 'Mary',
It seems that I forgot to include a very important resource for you.
I apologise. Please follow this link and complete all steps\levels. I want you to have a great online experience!
https://bestdosgames.com/games/...
Best Regards,
Sara Range
things like the "Best Regards," are artifacts of their formatting.
so... im not sure if i was too much of a dick, not enough, or if it even matters because it may go over their head.
