I had an incredible experience with the coaching program. The hands-on approach was exactly what I needed to grasp the concepts effectively. The use of anecdotes to create associative connections significantly improved my understanding and retention of the material. The personal experiences and stories about interactions with well-known IT personas added a unique and inspiring dimension to the coaching. Beyond programming, I also saw improvements in my problem-solving and communication skills.
Which things specifically improved, maybe with percentage?
Through the coaching program, my ability to write readable and maintainable code has significantly improved, allowing me to create cleaner and more efficient projects. I have become adept at identifying and removing code smells, which has elevated the overall quality of my work. Additionally, I am now more proficient in judging code and design for potential improvements. This has enhanced my problem-solving skills and enabled me to communicate more effectively about code and its qualities, making my feedback more impactful.
How good are we and would you recommend us?
I am still actively participating in the coaching program and, as I work towards completing the next three levels, I can highly recommend this program to all developers. While reading books about clean code is beneficial, having a critical coach like Damian to provide guidance and feedback is invaluable.
