Nice additions.

I am self-tought and i made the experience that being wrong helped me to evolve. I guess i grinded the gears of many people in bulletin boards or irc channels in the moment i came by with my naive solutions.

But getting corrections and new insights helped me to grow. This is something i want to transfer to my trainee aswell.

I'm thankful for your thoughts :)

I would also add that it's important to learn that what you are teaching now may be considered an anti-pattern down the road. Or that the framework de jour is going to become tech debt in 5 years.

So it's really important to distinguish between long term viable fundamental skills/techniques from current best practices.

A specific example of this is I started using javascript a lot, then Prototype.js then jQuery came out (which did not litter the core objects with protoype inheritances, which is better...) and now back to vanilla js now that the browser incompatibilities are minimal. The only long term viable skill here is coding in general, and vanilla js, everything else was a fad of sorts.

Have fun teaching, I really enjoy this part of my work.
