π Episode notes
In this episode, I talk with career coaches Ingrid Kocjan and Megan Vallee, giving advice for how to move from a junior to senior role as a software developer. We talk about mentoring, networking, feedback, and how to reach out to your manager and how to create a plan for advancing from junior to senior. We also talk how the bigger salary is nice, but there are also some ugly about advancing to senior developer and how to find out what that is.

π FUN FUN FUNCTION
Since 2015, Fun Fun Function (FFF) is one of the longest running weekly YouTube shows on programming π thanks to its consistency and quality reaching 200,000+ developers.
π€¦ββοΈ The Failing Together concept is what makes FFF unique. Most coding content out there focus on step-by-step tutorials. We think tutorials are too far removed from what everyday development is like. Instead, FFF has created a completely new learning environment where we grow from failure, by solving problems while intensively interacting with a live audience.
Tutorials try to solve a problem. Failing Together makes you grow as a developer and coworker.
πΉ Each show is recorded live on Twitch in a 2-hour livestream on Mondays. The host, assisted by the audience, is tasked to complete a programming challenge by an expert guest. Like in the real world, we often fail, and learn from it. This, of course, reflects what the audience identifies with, and is one of the most praised aspects of the show.
β― On Fridays, an edited version of the show is adapted for and published on YouTube.
Content Topics revolve around: JavaScript, Functional Programming, Software Architecture, Quality Processes, Developer Career and Health, Team Collaboration, Software Development, Project Management
