My ALS Journey (12/n): My Legacy

Today, I want to give you a rough idea, how I plan my next year’s as a teacher, mentor , and speaker.

Status Quo

Currently, I’m pretty comfortable teaching, mentoring, and speaking. Thanks to my voice-to-text conversion, I can write well in English or German.

My Challenge

My productive time is probably pretty limited, so I have been thinking a lot about how I can work efficiently in my remaining years. Giving a six-hour class is much more exhausting than my one-hour mentoring. This means I can still mentor but not teach in the distant future.

My Plan

I will shift my focus from teaching to mentoring. Currently, I have recorded about 80% of my teaching and am producing my fifth mentoring session about templates. After that, I published my next one about Clean Code. The mentoring goes much more into detail and includes exercises, examples, forums, and weekly Q&A. Mentoring is much more than just replacing classes.

Here are some existing and upcoming mentoring programs.

“Fundamentals for C++ Professionals”: open
“Design Patterns and Architectural Patterns in C++”: open
“C++20: Get the Details”: open
“Concurrency with Modern C++”: open
“Generic Programming (Templates) with C++”: October 2024
“Clean Code: Best Practices for Modern C++”: March 2025

Further Future

There will come a time when I will not be able to speak, and that will be the end of my mentoring. This is not as bad as it sounds. I know that many of my mentors use my mentoring without the Q&A. So I will restructure my mentoring and adjust the price.
