#BandaDaily #10 for developers: Start mentoring others to become a stronger software engineer. 🧵

Another question to #webdev / #100daysofcode mentors: Do you create your own projects for your mentees to focus on a specific skill? IMHO, many projects are designed to practice general/random set of skills - not something specific (i.e. async, architecture, tooling)

The question to #webdev mentors out there: Do you use some platform for picking a project to use as a challenge for your mentees? For example, I mentor a #js or #frontend junior dev - where I could find suitable projects for him/her? 🤔

Hey, fellow devs! We are making a place where any dev could share their project challenges or ideas to help other devs to hone their skills (like #js, #React, etc.) and level up Hope, #100DaysOfCode crowds will find it a good source of practical projects ⚒️ What do you think?🤔

Even though I don't believe this is true, the joke itself is so fun, so I'll let it be😅

@NikolaR001 How about "Lean Startup" by Eric Ries? amazon.com/Lean-Startup-E… It's one of the most important books I've read so far on the question of building a product efficiently. I believe it's a valuable book for both entrepreneurs and software engineers.

Some suggestion for a books ?

@ChrisPiwinski Do you use any CSS libraries? Could you also share the piece of markup that is responsible for the player management page?

@ChrisPiwinski Hey Chris! Could you share a little bit more info on the issue? Are there any JS on the project (and any errors in the DevTools Console)?

Day 32/100 - Started playing more with @AtomEditor. Set up the structure of a homepage. First pic is where I ended up. Second pic is where I need to get to. Anyone have points/tips on getting there? the big block is essentially a player management table. #100DaysOfCode

#DEVCommunity is there any #ReactNative mentor out there who has some spare time for a junior developer to help him master best practices of mobile development using React?

What really need is to be ready to invest a lot of effort. You need to be open and ready to admit your faults while encouraging your mentees to move forward. And only then in return, you get self-improvement and growth covering both hard and soft sides together.

It's hard work for both. So what does it take to become a mentor? And no, you don't need to be an expert with 10 years of experience. It's good to have that, but that's not the requirement.

To summarize: Track your progress. It encourages you when you are down, gives you feedback, and helps to be more intentional with your learning. Also, find a way to publicly share your progress regularly - it's worth it, as you can see weak/strong sides and adjust your plan.

Additionally, they reveal that the chances were even higher if the tracked results were publicly recorded. E.g. if you commit to the #100DaysOfCode challenge and tweet your progress each day, you have higher chances of learning the #coding than just with silent practicing.

#BandaDaily #9 for self-learners: Track your progress. Doesn't matter whether you are just starting to learn #programming or mastering another framework. Find a way to track your progress. 🧵
