Ask HN: Thinking of mentoring? Looking for a mentor?

I am a software developer at Yandex(russian search engine company) and I want to mentor someone(or even a group -- it is much more fun to learn in a group!).<p>Ideally, a potential mentee: -- Wants to code her or his own small search engine. Obviously, it is difficult to recreate Yandex or Google, but it is relatively easy to make something on a smaller scale. -- Knows some C++, but wants to expand her or his knowledge -- Is in the beginning of the software development career<p>This is just a description of someone who I can help the most. If you don&#x27;t quite match this description, send me an email anyway -- I can still help you with your own project in C++ or help you code a search engine in a some other language than C++. Or maybe I can just help pairing you with someone more relevant. :)<p>Email: in profile.

I could get some help with front end web development. In exchange, I could help in maths. The deal would be: you are available to answer my dumb questions in css, html or jquery, and I am available to answer your dumb questions about maths (linear algebra, bit of number theory, analysis, probability and statistics).<p>I guess it would be a good fit for a competent web developer who for some reasons wants to learn maths (I am about the opposite). My email is in my profile if someone is interested.

Hi, I&#x27;m looking for a mentor for math (proofs, abstract algebra, real &amp; complex analysis) and algorithms.<p>I&#x27;m a software developer working in Node.js, and very solid with JavaScript, MySQL, Mongo, and other web technologies (jQuery, Angular, etc...). I also have experience with a number of other languages including PHP, Java, C&#x2F;C++. I&#x27;d be happy to mentor folks in those things as well.

I know HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, a little Jquery, Java, a bit of C++, and have created a couple websites.<p>If anyone would like mentoring of any of the above, i´d love to help!

I&#x27;d be really interested in having a mentor as I persevere with becoming a self-sufficient coder&#x2F;learner. Someone willing to not skim over the fundamentals, advise on best practices and assist with what will probably be very naive&#x2F;basic mistakes. I&#x27;m most familiar with Python, I did my CS degree 9 years ago, I hack a lot of stuff together to get close to what I want to make, I can edit existing code but would like to build small web apps &amp; learn how to manage them efficiently.<p>On the flip-side, I would be happy to reach out to anyone needing help on the business side, user testing, feedback, a&#x2F;b testing, finding their audience, marketing. I currently work as an I.T Consultant in streamlining &amp; automating businesses and I also run a wedding photography company.<p>My e-mail is my username at gmail.com

Anyone in Atlanta, Georgia?<p>I would love to have a mentor. I stumbled upon Hacker News about a year and a half ago. I was not into programming before. One day, I got interested in programming and stories about computer hackers and so naturally I stumbled upon this website.<p>I am still a newbie. Right now, I am interested in learning Ruby and Javascript. I dabbled around with Java for a few months a while ago, but I became more interested in HTML5. I taught myself nearly everything I know about programming. I am probably not at the level to have a mentor, but I would really love to chat with someone about programming or meet up and code together. Maybe get some tips and advice on how to accelerate learning.<p>I do not know how distance mentoring would feel, but I am open to it.<p>email: jamie.lee@gatech.edu

This is a great idea and similar to this thread: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7692769" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=7692769</a>. I think there&#x27;s a chance of building this into a platform. Email me if you&#x27;re interested.

I have a few programming mentors I work with and I&#x27;m looking to develop the business side of myself thus I&#x27;m looking for a business mentor. In exchange I can help you with web projects and give you a percentage of whatever business we create.<p>I&#x27;m in my late 30&#x27;s so I have a lot of experience. I don&#x27;t mind working with people who are younger , but 30 is about the cut off limit. My goal is to seed a lifestyle business that has the potential to grow very large. I&#x27;m more interested in a good fit between myself and the mentor than the mentor being extremely successful. However, you should have a track record that reflects a degree of successes. wktdev@gmail.com<p>I&#x27;m looking to get started in about 2 months.<p>Thank you.

I&#x27;m looking to pick up machine learning skills, especially on the math side. I&#x27;ve completed the Coursera course on Machine Learning, and I&#x27;m looking to take it to the next level. In return I can teach whatever I can - I have some pretty decent Python programming skills.
