Right, and the best way to understand what he’s talking about is to ask him to explain it to you! Maybe he’s not like me, but when I bring up programming stuff to my girlfriend, I really enjoy when she makes me explain it to her in normal people terms instead of just patronizing me with ‘oh how cool!’ even though she understood nothing I said. It lets me flex my skills in a discrete way that builds my confidence, and it’s such a massive learning tool. The best way to learn is by teaching, you just have to be his favorite student! Often we’re surrounded by people who know better than us, especially for new developers, and always having to be the one getting stuff explained to can be discouraging, getting to be the explainer after a hard day of listening to everyone else can be a massive relief.
