How do you educate junior developers about design patterns and SOLID?

I use a combination of:

• Simple examples showing before/after code refactoring.
• Pair programming sessions to explain thought processes.
• Encouraging reading and discussing classic books like “Clean Code” and “Design

Patterns”.

• Practical coding exercises and code reviews focused on SOLID principles.
• Showing real project scenarios where principles improved code quality and

maintainability.

• Promoting a culture of continuous learning and curiosity.
