Would love a nice golang mentor

Posted by kubblai on Friday August 13, 2021 @05:01PM
from the self-post dept.

I'm 45 and recently had a resurgence in my career, now a devop. I'm not very confident when it comes to coding and find some of the concepts challenging. I have experience in writing basic bat/powershell/bash/terraform scripts and am also following a udemy course on golang. I would really appreciate a kind and patient person who could guide me on the intricacies of golang - did i mention at my age i forget a lot so patience of an angel might be needed :)

I thought maybe i could offer something in exchange, I'm not really sure what is the acceptable way to use this site. I'm an experienced meditator and teach classes at work. I'd be happy to share that knowledge with any potential mentor.

For live help I highly recommend Discord servers. I’m a member of the Rust Community Server and love hanging out and helping however I can. As others have mentioned you can join the Go discord server. If you don’t know how a Discord server can help you, watch this (it’s Python specific but applies to any programming Discord server)

It's not exactly what you're looking for but maybe you can see if there exist any Golang Discord groups where you can get some guidance? I know they exist for Julia and Python and you can get help at any time of the day haha.

There's a slack channel, I believe the link is somewhere on the golang website

Thanks for the replies. I posted on the offical discord and reddit not any interest so far, a friend suggested this site, so here i am. I'll just need to be patient now and see what crops up.

Maybe you should expose some way of contacting you. I might be willing but it would be good to discuss some terms and expectations first

Thanks everyone for taking the time to comment and even consider me as a padawan - I have found a mentor now.

Wishing you all the best!
