The Teach step is so important as you grow!!! I also think it is important to note that you dont have to be a master at something to teach it. You can Learn basics, Do basics, then Teach basics. Teaching, in my opinion, is what really solidifies the knowledge for you AND it gives you confidence in your abilities.
Yeah, I definitely agree - when you've done a deep dive into something I find that it's actually quite hard to remember what you didn't know at the beginning. Makes it a bit harder to put yourself into the shoes of someone just picking it up, and for me that's the core of being an effective teacher.
So true, teaching sheds light on the holes in your knowledge.
Also, there are always more people learning the basics then there are people who learn the advanced stuff. It's important that people who just learned the basics teach the basics.
I have a passion for learning. On my free time I try to learn more about full stack development, databases, mobile apps, and video game development. I want to be able to teach others one day.
I agree with this step. I haven't gotten the opportunity to teach much at my workplace, but I have been thinking of joining GirlsWhoCode as a Facilitator for the first half of next year. I just think that it would be cool to help others get into tech and hopefully get better at teaching/communicating.
