Title: We&#x27;ve hired a bunch of fresh graduates from college for a software dev job. This could be hard to comprehend but let me try to put it in the best way possible. The part of the world where I&#x27;m from, we don&#x27;t necessarily hire only CS folks for such job.<p>Most of our IT &#x2F; Software Dev hires could be ranging from CS to Aeronautical to Mechanical Engineering students. All we look for is an engineering degree to validate analytical skills.<p>With that background, I&#x27;ve been assigned a couple of absolute beginners who I&#x27;d be working with to ship a feature in a __couple of months__.<p>While I strongly believe it&#x27;s my responsibility to get junior devs on par in terms of knowledge &amp; execution speed, I really don&#x27;t have any previous experience working with absolute beginners who&#x27;d barely qualify as devs let alone junior devs. What best to do in this situation? Should I accept I suck at this and bail out for everybody&#x27;s good? Is there anything I __can__ do, to comfortably work with beginners?
