I struggle with this. We get juniors that really don't know much about programming yet, some that start because they know our domain well and know a bit of Python. There is a lot they should learn that others get from formal education before they start to work. But we don't know how to give structure to it as a company.
- clintonb 7y agoIf your company cannot train junior engineers, perhaps you shouldn’t hire them. Doing does a disservice to all involved.
- Scarblac 7y agoWe don't really have a choice, but I wouldn't say we can't train them. They do improve a lot on their own and on the job. We do a lot of code review and give them time to figure things out, and we're OK at picking the ones who are able to learn like that. I still feel we could have more structured, formal training but don't know how.
