But this time I have three years to share my knowledge and grow with him.I already checked methods and stuff online like pair programming, visualization of data flows ect.But what I would love to know is, what has worked for you guys on both sides. Sharing knowledge and get trained.I want to be the best mentor I can be and I want to proof that this is a thing I can do good and continue doing it the next years of my career.So, what helped you to train others or receiving knowledge? 322 points moveax 7 years ago 121 comments
