This week I found a question from a new developer that I wanted to share.
Today's question is:
Hi! I am pretty new to coding and would like to learn more from folks who have been in tech for a long time. I am struggling to find folks in my community to talk to and am thinking a mentorship program may be a good choice for me! Do you have any tips on how to find a mentor that's right for you?
