Mentoring 15 junior developers: the structured path we use

Over the last few years I have mentored 15+ junior developers. This is the structured path we use at WEMIXT.

Weeks 1–4: foundations

  • Git, code review etiquette and the SDLC
  • One small full-stack feature, end to end
  • Daily written updates

Weeks 5–12: real work

Juniors pair on client features with a senior, then own a scoped ticket with review.

What makes it stick

Feedback that is specific and fast, and a project they can show in their portfolio.
