I recently started a new position as a senior developer in a small company. The setup is basically CTO/Lead Dev - Me - Junior Developer.
The junior is a newcomer with a non IT background. We do webdevelopment and I have a bit of a hard time to understand how I can lead him to be a better developer. He seems motivated to learn but has a bad intuition on how to do things the "right" way.
Happy about tips on literature or any practical advice how to guide him. We do Kanban style development with code reviews, CI/CD for context.
Tried to break down tasks together, to a point where I rather have implemented the stuff myself. I can spend roughly about 20% of my time to invest in him for a couple of month.
Lead dev seems happy to not be involved in the process as they have worked together for quite a while without any substantial progress on the juniors side.
