I'm working on resources to help early-career software developers feel like they're no longer early-career developers.
"pair with seniors" is the go-to recommendation for learning, so I paid a senior rails dev to pair with me on an OSS contribution (we fixed a bug in Jekyll)
I recorded the whole process, end-to-end. It's about 90 minutes of video.
Neither of us had prior knowledge of the application.
There's a lot of good stuff in it, but I'm still working on how to best show the "path" someone should take through it.
I plan on adding "obstacle courses" for certain skills that are amenable to that kind of approach.
If this is of interest to any of you, I'd love for you to click over and follow along.
