It's a catch 22. I feel like salaries skyrocket for the top end of people who caught the wave, are already senior programmers, while low level work gets farmed out to india or even if it's not - it's really hard to train junior developers without hands on face to face time like we had in offices.
- collaborative 4y agoI am currently training a junior dev. We only see each other every other week for a few hours. His motivation is all that matters imo. He is learning very fast
- calvinmorrison 4y agoI have a jr developer right now and I find it hard to co-write code or do reviews sometimes compared to 'let me roll my chair over' type of situation.
- collaborative 4y agoPerhaps remote learning requires skill and attitude that prevent you from needing someone to frequently co-write code. I don't have much time to spare so I will only co-write code when the jr dev is literally stuck. The rest of the time I give general guidance and let him figure it out - " improve logging here, consume less resources here by doing xyz, improve readability, optionally use advanced pattern to help you out, etc ". I try to give an example of what I mean each time. Each time he cracks things he grows in confidence and motivation
