Get a mentor. Seriously. I taught myself some programming for about two years, but this last year, I connected with a good mentor and really grew with his help.

I now work for him. I guess it's networking in action.

In what languages do you work? Would you like to be a mentor? Like for me.

I'm interested in finding mentors as well. How did you find one?
