I've done some online bootcamps, and made a few contributions to open source software projects.
However, the quality of code on many of the projects I've contributed to is very sub par, and when I ask questions the developers they themselves don't always understand how to fix it and are of little to no help on continuing education.
I also do not feel the coding practices are up to commercial grade.<p>Are there any semi-professional open source projects that would help with mentoring? I am primarily interested in Python, C, and C++, and Golang but always open to trying new things.
If you're at university you can apply for this year's <a href="https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/" rel="nofollow">https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/</a> (paid remote internship).<p>Even if not <a href="https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/archive/2020/organizations/" rel="nofollow">https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/archive/2020/organizatio...</a> is a good list of organisations, pre-vetted by Google, to have run mentorship programs in the past, and/or have projects set aside for longer participation. Click on the logos and each should have a link to their idea list, e.g. wikimedia <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2020" rel="nofollow">https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2020</a> I wouldn't expect 2021 projects to be online yet, more around March.
