The Struggles of a Young Developer

<p>Hmm, I see a lot of these stories about young inexperienced coder (fresh out of university) that sucks and have to learn from experienced developers. Is this really a common problem or is it just experienced developers that describe this because they want to validate themselves? As a relatively young developer I have seen experienced developers that are not open to solve problems in a different way because they have developed a closed mindset for how things should be developed.</p>

There are bad things about test-suites which these experienced developers do not seem to recognise because “tests are good, am I right?” attitude.</p>
