I haven't, but now that I have read this I might. I am in a bootcamp right now, so I have a mentor, but I will be looking for help once the bootcamp is done!
I build developer tools and services at Microsoft (currently Codespaces, Live Share, IntelliCode) and maintain some OSS projects (CodeTour, GistPad, CodeSwing, WikiLens)
Thanks! Out of curiosity: once you’re done with the boot camp, do you think you’d be interested in another long-term mentor? Or would you simply want to get help as-needed from someone with expertise? I just ask since some of these services are more oriented towards the later, and I’m curious how relevant they are for different folks needs.
It depends. (Hopefully!!) I will get a job after my bootcamp. If there is mentorship through the company, then no I wouldnt seek a long term mentor. If I feel like I am not getting enough feedback at work, then yes a long term mentor would be great. I see myself looking for more as needed help with personal projects.
