Common pitfalls of junior developers
summary
Recommend a concrete onboarding recipe: create a long‑term plan with weekly and monthly milestones, tag junior stories in the tracker and schedule pairing times, and measure success by learning not throughput. Set a code‑review cadence and regular one‑on‑ones, let juniors watch seniors struggle, and use whiteboards, analogies, and scaffolded practice projects that vary a single constraint so concepts deepen rather than being memorized.
