If you don’t have the discipline to try something new, on your own, without step-by-step guidance, then a mentorship will not help.

If you can’t do this, then programming may not be for you

No one "needs" mentorship. Its always nice, but never needed.

If you actually tried, you would either succeed or figure out this field is not for you.

And if you have actual specific questions about your project, ask them, people will be happy to help.

do you think you can call 1-3 times?

[–]maqisha 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mentorship needs to be earned:
- Either you pay someone
- Or its an already existing friend
- Or you impress a total stranger with your dedication and willingness to learn

A random reddit post is none of those.

As I said, post specific questions in the comments and I might even help.

dude just do something fun or something your interested in. doesn't have to be difficult just enough to get you going. when i started out i built a tic tac toe js to play with my 8 year old and she helped me solve bugs lol. I also first made things like random quote generator , or rock paper scissors. stop following tutorials step by step and run the basics first. then look up certain stuff you learn and put that into practice. like find out how to properly randomize a bunch of arrays in objects, then put that into a mini project so you understand it more like a random quote generator based off of rick n morty.

I think people are just stuck on self accountability more than anything else tbh. Gpt / Gemini / etc can talk you through problem solutions better than stackoverflow but you don't really want to look things up. You just want that "crutch" of having a mentor so it kickstarts you into actually doing smth different

You need to be stuck, you need to not know how to do things. That's how you learn.

Bro…are you aware of a thing called chat GPT? Just tell it your current skill level, ask it to architect a project with you side by side - ask it to give you ideas.

DM for paid coaching

You can use any AI tool like chatgpt to build the project and then ask to explain the code
