5 years ago Hey @luisfarzati, thanks for submitting! Sorry that it's taken this long to get back to you. Your talk idea is great (I'm totally biased as a junior dev myself - but still)
The thing is, we already have a very similar topic in the February lineup. Do you have any other topics that you'd like to speak about? Otherwise if you'd still like to present on this topic we can do that - but it would have to be a bit later in the year.
Let me know what you think 😊

Talk title
Love your Junior
Abstract
Ninja-Rockstar-Senior recruiting madness is still very much alive despite how ridiculously hard it is to find available talent. The demand for developers is insane and at the same time there's a lot of smart but inexperienced people eager to work on something, but too few companies are looking in their direction. Everybody wants to hire the top notch devs and launch ASAP.
Fortunately, we are all seeing a slow but steady growing interest in Juniors and building teams from the ground up. In the last few years I've been working a lot with them and I'd like to share the many things I learned along the way. What should be our role as seniors and mentors? Why should we want juniors in our team? And how many of them are enough? How can we help them become productive as quickly as possible, in a healthy and effective way?
Your name
Luis Farzati
