When I first started coding I was always looking for someone to give me insight on how to start a new app or website. Instead, I would spend ages combing through the internet until I got enough information to begin. I want to give back in some form, so if anyone is interested I’m happy to give free mentorship to any beginners in the coding space.<p>My background to help those see what I can give back:<p>- Worked in software since 2017
- co-founded a tech startup (was the CTO)
- Built AR, VR, and web apps
- Comfortable with C#, js, and ok in python
- Worked with react, redux, jQuery, node.js, express.js, firebase, unity, mongoDB, heroku<p>I may not have the answers to everything but I’m more than happy to help direct you on how to start. No question is a stupid one!
Hi, I might be interested in this. I started coding a few months ago (Github link in profile). Currently focused on learning backend/maybe fullstack web dev with the goal of hopefully being able to do this for a living 12-18 months from now.<p>The main thing I'm looking for mentorship on is:<p>1. Learning design patterns of well written / maintainable software<p>2. How to move from creating projects for courses to reading and understanding a real codebase created by someone else, and contributing to that codebase.
Hey, I’d love this, absolutely!<p>I’m a total beginner trying to do things the Right Way and not be a total clown. I’m getting paid to build a django app on a low budget (they know I’m a beginner). I’m making slow and steady progress by reading the docs and consulting with friends but I want to deliver a quality product and I feel I’m shooting in the dark. If you’re not already full up I’d love to learn from your wise ways.<p>Let me know if I can shoot you an email.<p>-A
Hi, this sounds cool. Happy you're offering this. If you have enough time I'd definitely be interested.<p>I've learned python back at school and want to start contributing more to open source stuff (have made few commits to the AnkiDroid app).
I think this is cool. I work in .net core at my internship but doing mostly basic winforms, mvc, JS and jQuery stuff. I like where I'm at and what I'm doing but I feel like I'm not learning enough about one that makes me a jack of all trades that has to constantly look stuff up. I know C# to a decent degree so I'd love for the opportunity to make something like using React or Angular. I feel like that's the one thing I need to be exposed to most right now and my lead would love to hear about it if it's worthwhile.
Hey everyone,<p>Not sure if I can do over 10 people just now so will cap it at the first ten that messaged here.<p>If you're interested please email me at cc@buildfaast.com with your HNs username in the body so I can match it with who were the first set of people that messaged under this post.
Cjcassar seems like there's still hope. I've been reading hn for more than 3 years now and this is the first time I've created an acc pls let me contact you as I'm interested in this
Hello,<p>I think it is cool that you are doing this. You may get a lot of response due to this offer. I'm probably ok for the moment but I would love to reach out to you with some questions if you are ok with that.<p>Thanks,
I'm about your level, different skillset (elixir, python, react) but I'd be interested in a knowingly skilled friend to "mentor" my work and vice versa.<p>cheers
