Hey people!
A couple of days ago, I read an article in Dev.to about junior developer, who was fired only after 7 days for reasons that just did not make sense to me.
That's why I'm going to share my opinion about what we should NOT expect from junior developers and what are the things that mentors and recruiters should value in less experienced devs.

See my thoughts from the video
