Being a senior developer is great, it’s the goal of every junior developer. You know everything, you feel that every problem is solved as soon as you touch the keyboard, it just feels easy and natural. But more often than not you forget how it feels to be a junior, to be at the beginning of the road, to start something new, to be bad at what you do. You start looking at juniors’ problems the same way adults look at children’s problems. They seem insignificant to you, however, that doesn’t make those problems less important, neither to kids nor to junior developers.

To be a senior you also need to be a teacher to your fellow junior developers. But how to teach them if you don’t understand their problems?!

In this talk, we will be tackling this problem.

Finally, we will see how you can use your knowledge to help new developers make their first steps, how to be supportive and help them become unreplaceable part of developers community.
