I just drafted 1400 words about mock objects (and why you might struggle with them) that have been trying to get out for a long time now. These words might see the light of day, but members of The jbrains Experience are reading them now. ;)

The jbrains Experience: Affordable personal mentoring to help you start getting unstuck.

You need help, but you can't justify the expense of a full-time coach. Maybe you're not yet sure about buying one-on-one coaching sessions. You're struggling to convince your employer to pay for the mentoring you need. You need more than what the world offers you for free, but your budget doesn't have room for enterprise-level consulting. I would like to help you.
