Tech has a culture of valuing product over people, but as soon as you reverse that thinking then all of this suddenly makes sense. For example, as in many office-based industries we have high levels of stress, anxiety and imposter syndrome. This is unquestionably detrimental so if you can work to avoid it, why wouldn't you?
The technical teaching is easier--books, tutorials and conference talks will all teach them that. As a mentor I need to be providing something that they can't already get from books.
