It's (almost) the last module and this one is a bit different. Our guests have lots of experience mentoring groups of developers, and have been in the software industry for a long time. They shared many insights that only decades of experience give you.

The interviews are longer, so prepare accordingly because they will blow your mind! There won't be any exercise, just a check in about the work on your Golden Problem.

Watch the conversations with Noah Gibbs and Pat Maddox on how they kept growing during all these years. What to focus on if you want to be promoted and how the tech industry works.

Find out why Noah Gibbs thinks that focusing too much on technical skills won't get you very far. And why Pat Maddox believes that the way people think about mentorship is backwards: if you want to advance, you have to mentor other people.
