Great article! Any advice on finding a mentor/mentee? Here’s what I’m looking for:

  • offering to mentor in TypeScript and/or servant leadership
  • seeking a mentor in where I should go now that I’ve been a tech lead for many years. What’s next?

Also, to answer your question, I think it's really hard to give standard advice on how to find a mentor/mentee because there are too many variables. Everyone is different, in different places, with different opportunities for connection. I've personally found the best mentee relationships when I get involved in my local community. The best mentor relationships I've developed have come from people who used to be my managers.
