27 days ago I asked here for advice on how to mentor software engineer student that was terrible at coding.

So, we are in the middle of the mentoring, my approach is for her to get used to normal engineering tools, in this occasion she is learning Git and "kanban" (basically we are using Clubhouse for this one) and Github PR submission and approval (I'm the one who approves them, naturally) by doing.

With git, things are hard because we cannot share a terminal session (via upterm) due to her using Windows on her laptop (WSL is an option for using upterm but her internet is so damn slow doing the configuration takes way too long), otherwise teaching her use git would be smoother than it is currently, with the other tools she is gaining a good grasp of them, it pleases me that the bottleneck is with Git itself.

She is working on a hangman game with Python, nothing fancy just the terminal. I made the stories with the requirements in Clubhouse for her to work on each as a unit removing some "thought process" of reading requirements and implementing solutions (at Uni it seems the professor writes a document of several pages detailing the background of the project and the requirements, I can see how it can become confusing for some students like her).

She will start Uni again this August 10th, there is a chance that our first "session" at this will end by then, my fear is that she forgets how to use the tools she learned, so I need to find a way to encourage her to keep using them somehow.

My boss yelled at me Monday for brining up that no one in the office is a fan of Jira.

He yelled and gave 4 rules.
1. Task Numbers
2. Multiple Project Overview
3. Integrates with Github
4. No one bitches

I spent the day uploading data from Jira into clubhouse

is it sane to choose Notion instead of Confluence and Shortcut (Formerly Clubhouse) instead of Jira, or do I come as a total hipster?

Or better yet, instead of Shortcut or Jira, choose Todoist?

Y’all on clubhouse?

Any thoughts on clubhouse app, seems like a neat concept. (Seems like twitch tv but better )

Also should we make a devrant club ?

PM describes a feature in unfinished PRD, two clubhouse tickets, 4 zeppelin's, a Google sheet's I don't have access to, and slack messages.

Has the audacity to tell me I fucked up because the feature doesn't work the way he imagines it.

What the fuck is the point of a PRD if the spec changes MID DEPLOY!?

Do you guys use clubhouse? 🤔
