A Simple Talent Development Program for Software Departments
summary
A simple, repeatable early-career program that runs lunch sessions and produces actual PRs: three formats — Round Table (one hour split between show‑and‑tell and asking a senior for help), scheduled Tech talks with prework and hands‑on coding, and longer mob programming blocks (2–3 hours, 10‑minute driver rotations) that regularly yield merged fixes. Claims reduced onboarding pain, engages seniors via the Protégé effect, and notes mob sessions are the most popular and effective.
