This sounds like it can work great at HP or IBM, but how do you translate this to a single-digit startup (both size of staff & amount of years in existence)? Or do you just not hire juniors in a startup?
- gonzo41 3y agoMaybe with pair programming where the success of the new hire is an okr for the person being the mentor.
- enord 3y agoEasy. You pay the juniors to study and take some busy dev leads out of their schedule to coach them. The trick is to find the most productive trade of time. Not too much obviously, but very likely not zero. Doing nothing is a big opportunity cost.
- mixmastamyk 3y agoDon’t hire them early in a startup. But, classroom environment doesn’t mean ~thirty students.
