At all places I&#x27;ve worked at, it&#x27;s been the &quot;jump in the water and try to swim&quot; technique. One thing really helpful is stressing the importance of asking questions, even if they&#x27;re dumb&#x2F;simple.<p>Code reviews are also really helpful. We use a projector and go through pull requests line-by-line, asking questions and explaining design decisions.<p>Acknowledge the fact that it&#x27;s going to take long time and just keep new programmers bouncing around with projects so they eventually touch all areas of the code base.
