Hello Nick! I'm part of the Codementor team but I'm not a mentor on the platform — my programming skill is not there yet 😅
Yeah, if mentorship is something that you're interested in doing, I'd definitely urge you to apply as a mentor and try out the platform yourself: codementor.io/mentor/apply
Since I started teaching myself programming back in 1983 (aged 7), it has consistently been interesting, rewarding, and fun - never once did it seem like a chore, overwhelming, or insurmountably difficult. I would suggest that if you are struggling to find motivation to continue, it probably isn't for you.
Yup, I totally agree.
"And who knows, maybe you’ll even be able to solve the issue in your dreams! (Seriously though, it happens.)", me too!
Good post, in my opinion, when I blocked in on point for a time, I prefer to go out and then come to try again, this works a lot for me.
Nice! Yeah, stepping away from things and taking a break really helps. Glad you enjoyed the post.
Thank you for this. I'm learning node js now. It helps me. Can you give me an advise, where can i find a mentor?
There is a great new computer science service for learning NodeJS: FavTutor. The thing I like about them is that they select the best mentor or tutor for you, instead of your headache to choose one. You can tell them what you want and which topics you need classes with and they can set it up, here is favtutor.com/nodejs-help.
Great to hear that this post helped you! As mentioned in the post, there are lots of subreddits out there so I usually point people in that direction to start (e.g. /r/nodejs, /r/codementors, etc.).
If you still can't find the right mentor, you can consider Codementor's Node.js experts (codementor.io/nodejs-experts) — please know that Codementor is a paid platform though.
Good luck!
Not a problem!
Thank you for this, very useful and enjoyable.
Great to hear that. ☺️ Thanks Mohamed!
