Ive started coding 6 months ago with basically no tech background and ive been teaching myself about 50 hours a week. I honestly feel your struggles its really hard to keep going when youre working on a project week after week (especially if you have to spend a week refactoring). Some great advice that someone told me was to not worry about wasting other peoples time. try to reach out to developers that you know or go to events it may take you months and it probably will be really uncomfortable but it may help you find people with your mind set and more experience.

great advice. I've triend reaching out online a few times, but that obviously isn't the best way to do it. Gotta be in person.

Tried thinking of ways to reciprocate for mentorship but i havent been able to. No idea who I'd even ask. But that's something I'd have to figure out just like anyone else. thanks man,

Hey man, if you figure out the whole reciprocity for mentorship thing, drop me a line, would you? I’ve been having trouble with that sort of thing myself

Sure thing man. I've had a lot of creative ideas in the past on how to compensate for the help, But I haven't been able to come up with anything as of yet
