It's fun as a developer noticing things and going wait a minute. For instance, in @Stranger_Things, they used CSS Flexbox, tech that was introduced in 2009 while this season is set in 1986 #webdev

“The React Documentation of lying to you…”. Lol WAT? Sometimes I wish I didn’t get targeted ads on YouTube….

The best thing you can do as a seasoned developer is to make zero assumptions of knowledge of the junior developer in your care. Assume they know a lot but when talking about things unique to your org and project, explain it as you would to a kid that keeps asking "But Why?".

Lastly, we all know that our tooling will never be perfect and will evolve as our project grows and we can always do something or the other better. So don't just tell them the why but also how it can be done better in the future.

I could go on, but irrespective of the size of your company, help them understand how their code reaches the customer. What checks and balances are in place to protect production? How is the CI/CD pipeline setup? Why is it even needed or setup the way it is?.

Spend time helping them understand how you deal with version control. You might not have to teach them Git but help them understand why your branching strategies are setup the way they are. Key again is making zero assumptions of their understanding.

Help them understand the tooling without making any assumptions. You might've been using the tools for ages and know it inside and out, but a junior coming in will not know the intricacies of how their local environment is setup and why. The why goes a long way.

When I got my first dev job a few years back, the most frustrating thing was not code but actually tooling. My environment had one issue or the other that made me feel incompetent as a developer. If you're working with juniors, keep reading.

Funniest thing about writing WebAssemblyText (WAT) is that to me it looks like it uses smiley faces for a block comment and tears for a single line comment. #100DaysOfCode #TheArtOfWebAssembly #webassembly #WASM

Today I learned, i32, i64 are faster 3-5x for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division by powers of 2, but all other division is faster for floating-point numbers. Also in Javascript all numbers are f64 by default. #theartofwebassembly #webassembly #100DaysOfCode.
