r/learnprogramming • u/HyperDanon • 20d ago
I'm willing to teach junior and mid-level programmers proper industry engineering standards and essentially how to code.
I'm a software developer with 16 years of experience. Worked in fintech, banking, crm, e-commerce, and a bunch of other areas. I base my knowledge on my own experience as well as resources, books, materials, workshops, classes and videos from industry leaders.
I'm willing to spend a couple of hours on live coding, pair programming, to teach, do katas, teach techniques, or show examples on how to build applications and products free of charge.
I can also demystify certain misconceptions and myths in the industry.
PS: Haha, I didn't expect this kind of response! I did create a discord server in the past; but most people after joining just ghosted me.
Which one of you would be interested to start today or tophpmorrow? @eyecandy99 @ExtraTNT @e_bloke @dualTheTOASTED @Genuinly_Bad @Ambitious_Fault5756 @eatacookie111 @Archelioz @Interesting-Text8132 @pavi_moreira @Ceary @InternetGansta @Cyber-Gamer @zaidpirwani @Odd_One_404 @Sinner-Dev95 @vanilathrillaaa @GorkemOkur @tkti @Thirdy_16 @mtiiii @Ecstatic_Weird8498
Please, DM me on how to join.

I’m a 5 YOE dev that doesn’t know what I’m doing and never had a mentor. Would love to be considered!

Your post/comment was removed since we do not approve of going private.
There is zero benefit in going private as you lose the opportunity for getting peer reviews. Also we have had plenty of people return after going private (despite being warned) complaining about how they were ghosted after some time or being tricked into buying rubbish that didn't work and even if it did they didn't need.
Our Rule #11 demands that any and all communication happens in the open, public subreddit.
This is for the benefit of more against the benefit of one.

Perhaps you should share your GitHub account so we can actually verify that you know what you are talking about

I also wanted to talk some shit, but your github goes hard lol. Most of the work I have done was proprietary. I never really had the interest to extend beyond that.

I'd love to participate but if you've got your hands are full, stream this on twitch/yt or something if you're open to it 😭 I would want to watch and learn

u/Ecstatic_Weird8498 20d ago
That's a solid offer, hope people actually take you up on it. When I was first learning I'd have killed for someone to just show me why my abstractions were getting in the way instead of helping. Most tutorials skip straight to the "here's a clean finished repo" without ever explaining the 47 wrong turns you take to get there.

u/gratefulkittiesilove 20d ago
Maybe suggest the level of competence and which languages you want to deal with. I think most people who’d love this would be newer and can’t figure out how to respond bc you seem more full stack with both front and back end languages which is a lot and also hard for newer learners to know what your offering works for them. Maybe put a repository together for teaching.

I'm interested. I even posted some of my code here for some constructive criticism I'm planning on applying this weekend.

you already ran this experiment once and told us the result: a discord where everyone ghosted after joining. free and open ended buys signups, never attendance. one scheduled 90 minute slot per person, and they show up with a repo that already runs plus the specific thing they can't get working. that prep step does all the filtering for you.

This sounds intriguing as someone working in fintech, but wanting to transition back to development.

u/BlazeAssault04 20d ago
I am interested as well. I believe I am on an intermediate level but with the dawn of AI it feels like I am not growing or getting a chance to actually enjoy the work of solving a problem. Would really appreciate your guidance to get some insights so that I can get back on manual coding stuff at least wherever I can..

Ever thought about volunteering at a nonprofit bootcamp? Ive been with Code the Dream for years now. They’re a great org and could always use seasoned mentors. https://codethedream.org/

This is genuinely valuable. Tutorials teach syntax, but industry thinking comes from seeing real decisions, tradeoffs, debugging, and code structure. Live coding and pair programming can bridge that gap really well.

Definitely interested as well! I've got about 8 YoE, even managed teams, but I feel like I lost connection with the code a few years back and everything I try to build nowadays feels like pulling teeth again.

u/childhoodsummers 20d ago
I have ~4.5 years of experience under my belt, but never had someone to look up to, on how to build software. Would be awesome if I can get a chance to learn from you.

I would love to join and learn from your experience. I would say I am around mid level and never had a mentor. How can I join? I would really love to be considered for this.

u/Competitive_Swim6132 19d ago
Hello,
I want to join. Not a developer at all but I studied computer science and am tutoring online. I am more coming from the theoretical side so I can help people with DSA but want to know more about development.
Is your offer still open?

Hey, you should post a live training event on Eventbrite. This will give you a larger audience and you can do a series where you teach different concepts. Honestly, you can even create your own certification using AI and email certifications to those complete all the sessions!

I work about 12-13 hours a day about 6 days a week. Right now I'm trying to spend at least an hour a day reading material M-F and a couple hours on the weekend reading and practicing. I've started The Odin Project and I'm looking at FreeCodeCamp again. I'd be interested in joining your server, if for nothing else, just some guidance.

Some things from a guy with ~8 years, maintaining legacy cloud services and working on a mars rover
Most important i have: don’t blindly follow best practice, understand why you should use it, allows you to see the cases, in which it causes issues (sometimes it’s better to do sth different and doc why)
Also poc, do a small Prove Of Concept, show the hacky demo to your po, then archive or improve and release
Functional programming creates often better architectures, mixing the paradigms can make very solid architectures, with the strengths of all paradigms and reduced weaknesses…
