Tell about mentoring juniors — how did it look?

Mentoring juniors typically includes several key aspects:

• Teaching the basics: explaining fundamental concepts of the language, tools, and development processes.
• Code review: regular code analysis, helping to improve style and architecture.
• Support and motivation: assisting with arising questions, supporting during errors and failures.
• Task setting: selecting tasks appropriate to the level, with gradual increase in difficulty.
• Feedback: regular discussion of progress, identifying strengths and weaknesses.

In my experience, mentoring involved daily interactions — joint task planning, pair programming, discussing solutions, and conducting training sessions. It was important to create a comfortable environment so that juniors would not be afraid to ask questions and experiment.
