Encountered some code I wrote a year ago and was disgusted. It’s good, I’m still improving. But does make me wonder how I can ever train the junior coders with a straight face. So many little details they might pick up from me that they maybe shouldn’t.

@cbowdon Imagine what I'd think looking at code I wrote in 1995--that is still being used at my old company. :)

No worries when it comes to mentoring. It's less about what you know than it is about genuinely wanting to help them, and your experience in problem resolution is really what they're after, not just coding specifics.

Mentoring is probably my favorite part of this job--best part is keeping track of your "project" people as they develop their careers.
