Being a good dev requires long term commitments and delivering.
Teaching is a serie of small sessions, each connected but still, they have their own close little finish line.
So if you are a procrastinator or have a hard time finishing, you may be a good teacher and yet a mediocre dev
- wavefunction 8y agoAs the child of two teachers I vehemently disagree with what I consider your inaccurate and wholly unsupported supposition.
- sametmax 8y agoExcept i'm a dev and a teacher. And i have yet to met a teacher who's anywhere close to have the deadline challenge a dev has. Somebody not learning is a failure but that's life. A line of code not working on time, well, that's the entire product not shipping.
- lerchmo 8y agoI actually would see teaching as the longer term project without the small wins you can expect in programming.
- sametmax 8y agoWhen you end a lesson, you win. Always. There are very few ways to lose at a teaching moments if you are good at it. I can code for several days before having something that will make someone smile.
- k__ 8y agoMaybe I'm a good teacher because I'm a mediocre developer? I mean, people are bad-to-mediocre when they begin to learn something per definition, so when I teach them, I teach them from their perspective? :D
