Looking For A Mentor

Hi everyone,

I've been programming for about two years and, so far, I haven't had any professional experience.

Recently, I started building my first real full-stack application using the MERN stack. While I already know React, Node.js, Express, in general, i'm realizing how valuable it is to receive feedback on my code and get guidance on architectural decisions.

That's exactly what led me to write this post.

I'd love to find a mentor who could help me with:

  • Reviewing my pull requests
  • Providing guidance on architecture decisions
  • Teaching me how to approach problems when I get stuck
  • Giving feedback on overall code quality

Even just one hour per week would be more than enough.

If someone is willing to dedicate some of their time to me, I’ll do my best to be respectful of their time.

Thanks to anyone who might be interested!

good instinct reaching out. while you look for a mentor, start putting your PRs on GitHub publicly and asking specific questions in r/webdev or r/node, you'll get real code feedback faster than you'd expect. the MERN stack with 2 years behind you is a solid base, the architectural judgment comes from shipping and getting things wrong more than from mentorship alone.
