Sometimes, I find myself around a bunch of annoying newbs who ask dumb questions...

because I'm a part time CS instructor at a high school...

but when I see light bulbs switch on and the smell of enthusiasm in the air, makes teaching so worth it.

Welcome to devRant! That is great. We all had to start at the beginning. Having a nice teacher gets us started on the right foot 😀

@Jumpshot44 I totally agree! I'm trying to positively influence my students, despite some of them being budding trolls. :p

and here I am, sometimes my own questions seems stupid to myself.

@rookiemaverick

I feel like my own questions are dumb too. It's normal, I think.

I leave the part time instructor job feeling like a knowledgeable badass...

then I head to my full time job as a java developer, where I'm surrounded by talented and very experienced software engineers...

where I cower because I know nothing by comparison and I am one of two women in a team of brogrammers.

But I learn a lot everyday. :)

Don’t give up because you never know when you might be teaching the next brightest minds of the future. Keep up the good work!
