Re:Ask HN: How can I find a good mentor? by ElijahLynn on Tuesday May 28, 2019 @02:35PM (#20032983)
I've been looking for a good mentor for 7 years and haven't found one yet. I think it really comes down to time and not many wanting to invest that much.

In a way it helps with growth not to have a mentor because you have to learn how to learn what you don't know yet, which creates more independence.

That said, still would have loved to have a mentor all these years, wish you the best!

Exactly my thoughts on all grounds!

Have been going independent since 2013 but would've loved to have had a mentor along the way, or even now for that matter.

But I guess I'm old enough now to know what I don't know and then to learn it.
