What if, instead of training junior developers with courses and documentation, you just gave them a real project with real deadlines and two months to figure it out?

In this session, I'll walk you through an experiment where we did exactly that. We assigned valuable, real-world work to complete beginners - no prior tech stack, just ambition and structure. It didn't go smoothly: vacations hit, priorities clashed, and some realized they didn't even want to code. But in the end, they gained practical experience, we got partial delivery, and future training became way easier.

Why join? Because if you're responsible for growing talent, or becoming talent, you'll walk away with honest insights, hard-earned lessons, and a fresh approach to building developers who are more than just coders.
