Everyone should have a protégé
-
With some coercion I convinced the boss to employee another person to help lighten my load a little bit. We employed a kid straight out of high school with a little bit of knowledge in coding practices. He is learning on the job while studying at Uni. I think there should be more of this because it has really helped me as much as him. My code is cleaner and easier to read so that he will understand it better. Explaining network architecture, what the computer actually does to execute the code he writes, mathematics behind algorithms has helped to reinforce my knowledge. Win-Win I think.

Being clean and consistent with your coding practices makes a hell of a difference too. I do find it irritating when the protege up an leaves before you can get any real benefit from them though.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity RAH

Congratulation, you just discovered the Swiss Apprenticeship model.
I will never again mention that Dalek Dave was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.

It is the same in France, but for the fact that the kids work for free.

I think words like 'destiny' are a way of trying to find order where none exists. - Christian Graus Entropy isn't what it used to.
We almost work for free. Not quite, but a good Apprentice costs the company about 1/4 of a normal dev. Exchange the that to 7/4 is you caught a bad Apprentice :laugh:

This is partly why I have spent time with QA: it helps you to think in simpler, clearer ways which I think focuses you better on what you are trying to produce. And sometimes the inexperienced come up with a doozie of a question which makes you think "Hay? What? But..." and throws you down a new path where you learn something good yourself. Keep it up! :thumbsup:

I have a protégé too. Runs really good. My Protégé[^]

You haven't truly mastered a subject until you've taught it.
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.
