One of the best ways to achieve mastery (particularly with technology) is to teach it. In other words, teaching engineering to others makes you a much better engineer.
- sev 15y agoAgreed, so he's using this job as a means to become a better engineer? One he's not? (Just alluding to your point, not saying he is or isn't a good engineer)
- jeffreymcmanus 15y agoI can't say what his intention was, just trying to rebut the feedback.
- sidwyn 15y agoYes, I definitely am. Teaching how to code and coding itself are two very different aspects, though they revolve around code itself. Prepping the material forced me (in a good way) to scrutinize my code to ensure 100% accuracy.
