"Mentorship vs Sponsorship: Systems Thinking and Stories"
Join Scott Hanselman for an upbeat discussion about what’s beyond mentorship. What’s the difference between mentorship and sponsorship and how does that build successful teams? What’s the role of the senior engineer as a colleague to an early-in-career engineer? What’s the difference between learning how to code and learning how to think about systems?
