Stas Mehonoshin

I studied Ruby on Rails on my own for six months, after which I decided to take a mentor. During one month of studying with Stanislav, I realized that my so-called self-education had not taught me anything. I got real experience and skills of web development only thanks to passing the course, which was compiled by the mentor. Special thanks to Stanislav for his attentive code review and timely answers to my frequently asked questions.

I have no IT education, I started practically from scratch. After 6 months a month of studying with Stas, I can write such a recommendation. Pros: - Stas stayed in touch and gave the correct vector, corresponding to the realities of modern development. - If the problem was not solved, Stas always did not mind calling and explaining on the shelves how the problem arose and how to solve it correctly. - High-quality code review (will blow your commit to pieces). - Shared relevant articles and other useful resources. After training, he pointed out my weaknesses and said that I needed to tighten up. In general, only positive emotions remained, no matter how I tried, but I could not find the minuses, honestly. Result: I am doing an internship. Thank you Stas, success!

He successfully completed a test task and passed a technical interview thanks to training with Stas. Moreover, by the time the assignment and the interview began, the subscription had long ended, he did it himself, without prompting, on the basis of what he had learned under Stas. The employer noted the cleanest code and generally the correct attitude to writing code. With ZP I’ll renew my subscription :) I recommend!

I turned to Stas for help in building a personal brand. He made many good recommendations and highlighted my knowledge gaps. Many of those to which the hands did not reach for a long time, Stas explained in a rather simple language. Stas is an excellent teacher and a strong developer.

Under the guidance of Stas, I became more thoughtful about the process of writing code. I used to have speed in priority, and now quality. And his review of requests is just a bomb - he can point you to mistakes even in those places where, as you think, everything is great and excellent. You can ask him any question and be sure that you will not stay without an answer. According to the results: 10 out of 10 at the fingertips.

Stas is an excellent mentor who will always help and answer any question. He helped structure current knowledge and outline a further growth path. Always on time conducted the code review and made comments only on the merits. Gave only useful and necessary advice. I want to thank Stas for his help and mentorship. It was a very rewarding experience.

Stanislav sets the correct vector of thinking for solving problems, the role of the mentor is not to push into your head what kind of fixed knowledge you learn to learn, analyze your own code, and work through the tasks not methodically, but with feeling and alignment. You begin to appreciate and understand what a good review code is, realize how serious it is to read someone else’s code, plunge into another task, and then make some judgments and comments. The second time I cooperate with Stanislav, I hope in the future I will still be raising my level with him.

Just the best mentor, the feeling that he knows the answer to any question. Stas has his own personal open source projects, so all former and future students join, thereby helping your mentor and yourself + earn karma. Great opportunity to do not only work tasks :)

In short - I recommend! Stas perfectly showed himself as a mentor. And in my case, he had to help me in combat conditions, as my employer hired him, and yes, it happens. All his duties performed beautiful and even more. We called each other, discussed not only the code, but also the workflow in the IT company, which was very useful for me. Thanks to Stas and success!

I have been studying Ruby on Rails for about a year. Independent study gives some knowledge, but does not systematize them. The mentor puts everything on the shelves. Previously, I did not write tests. Stas taught me to write them, more than satisfied with the result. Recommended an excellent list of books and interesting articles. I often ask questions (not only on Ruby on Rails) and get accurate and detailed answers to them. The review code is always on time, all comments on the case. I want to thank Stas - this is really a useful and valuable experience.

I recently received a test from one company. Some time after its execution in social networks, I was found by a developer who performed the same test for the same position. Having seen his code, I realized how much Stas's mentoring had a huge impact on me. I saw mistakes that I made at the beginning of training, and which Stas showed me in the code review. Most likely, thanks to this difference, an offer was made to me, and not to this developer.

Stas is a responsible mentor. He is well versed in the backend, has extensive experience and is able to project his experience on current tasks. Available for communication at almost any time. Code review makes quality. If you feel that something is wrong in your code, but you don’t understand what exactly and how to improve it, then you need it! Gives good practical advice. Pings regularly) In general, everything is as it should be!
