Jeroen v.d. Gulik - The way we teach tech
summary
Claims that teaching must be concrete and incremental and shows it by walking a junior through a logging feature: starting with file_put_contents, adding try/catch, switching to an environment variable, introducing dependency injection, extracting a logger interface, adopting a PSR logger and a decorator so tests and swaps work. Demonstrates how Stack Overflow noise (jQuery-for-arithmetic) derails novices, recommends code reviews, pair programming, EventStorming and small controlled experiments as repeatable tools that produce working, maintainable results.
