summary

Junior developers progress fastest when given concrete opportunities and structures not platitudes: a grad rotation that let newcomers try Android and iOS actually shipped for the next cohort, a linting tool integration taught by letting the junior drive the keyboard instead of lecturing, and a simple confidence “living objectives” board plus a Trello or Google Doc captures promotion evidence. Coaching focuses on the stretch zone not the panic zone, and feedback is most useful when it’s specific, time‑referenced and actionable.
