What was the first time you realized you loved teaching? (Your BaseCS series is excellent!)

Hi Vaidehi,

Currently I am doing your BASECS series! Thank you. How do you approach when stuck on a problem and not going anywhere. I am working on a JS based project but hitting some blocks and not going anywhere, Any suggestions would be great.

Praveen.

At what point did you feel like you could use the title Senior Software Developer?

I see C# orJava programming languages more readable and maintainable than ruby. So how did you manage to learn ruby ? Are you comfortable with it ? What you don't like about ruby ?

What are some things you'd like to learn in the near future?

Do you see Rust in the future of your work? 😁 I would love to learn it but not sure what Rust can do.

How did you come to meet Saron Yitbarek and start collaborating with them?

Another question I had was what is your favourite part of the Ruby language and/or favourite thing about Ruby on Rails? And also lastly, your least favourite parts, if any.
