It is exciting to work with juniours and if you have never had an experience, try this. Which is highly recommended.
They can bring one or all of below.
- Bring fresh ideas to the table.
- Bring in energy
- New ways of doing things
- Challenge the established
- Go the extra mile to prove it
- Can surprise you by solving something which you never have thought
- Bring in humanity
- Less logical and more intuitional
- Eager to learn
Well, I can go on and on. But the thing is, you have to be careful. Like all seniors are not helpful, not all young ones have the qualities.
If you are a good mentor, then make them conversant with the tools and do not tell them, how to do, at first. Ask them what to do ?, you will be surprised by the results, they produce.
Happy Pair-Programming.
