The state of the Junior Dev community in MN

Mpls Jr Devs is a community of aspiring and less experienced software engineers that was born at Minnebar in 2017.

To celebrate our first birthday, we'll facilitate a guided discussion.

What we'll talk about

• Junior developers
  • What can the MN tech community do to support junior developers?
  • What does that support look like, and where does it come from?
  • What can non-junior-developers in your (workplace, community) do to better support you?
• People who aren't junior developers
  • How have your expectations of junior developers changed?
  • As you're hearing this, what can you do to support the juniors in your (workplace, community?)
