I already filled out mine! 😄

@citizen428 just messaged me about this and that was the catalyst for getting it out this week. We were in agreement but had been sitting on our hands. But @jess had a vision for how this would work and made the PR this morning and now we're live. 🙌

In very early numbers coming in, we have about 25% more people offering than requesting.

Newer devs, this is a great chance to make some awesome connections!

Hey Maria, since we rolled out DEV Listings, we stopped supporting the mentorship program on DEV. I'd try posting in the 'offering mentorship' or 'seeking a mentor' category, depending on what your needs are!
