Skills you'll build
What happens in this story4 scenarios
Their code works but their confidence doesn't. You sit next to the junior dev and realize the code review isn't what they need — they need someone to believe they belong here.
What started with the junior mentor just got more complicated. Now you need to mentor junior engineers through questions that build their judgment — not just their syntax — and the situation is shifting faster than your first approach can handle.
This is the moment you've been building toward. Translating technical constraints into language product managers actually understand — except now the stakes are real and there's no rehearsal. What you do next matters.
You've faced the hardest part. Now turn what you've learned into something sustainable — a way to mentor junior engineers through questions that build their judgment — not just their syntax not just today, but every time this situation returns.
