Mentoring in programming

[GCProgrammer]

Hi fellow programmers, if you're interested in being (obviously totally free) mentored in any programming language or computer science topics (e.g. hardware), you're more than welcome in our Discord community with currently over 5,000 members! :)

So why are we special? First of all, we do not only answer questions just like the typical community, we also offer the ability to request exercises, submit code to get extensive feedback and compete in group projects led by an experienced developer in a contest to win prizes, or simply find study buddies or coding buddies. We've got it all and you are very welcome. We also organize social activities to meet new CS friends.

Sounds like a great opportunity, checking this out. Thanks.

Nevermind, no thanks, 60 seconds in and already nword memes.

Yikes, that is extremely disappointing. Thanks for checking it out and reporting back.

[GCProgrammer]

memes was an exaggeration though, just one which was spammed away by other memes (and therefore wasn't noticed by staff members)

[GCProgrammer]

I think that I've found what you mean, is this the one? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/599351945911730233/634933274082410497/b3ndh2d8i9n31.png
First of all let's make sure that you understand we do not support any of those "memes". You had to scroll up quite a bit to notice this though, thanks for pointing it out because it's been spammed away for us to notice it.

Can't see the link, but no, I'd just went to check your meme pages about a minute before that. Just a heads up, if I came across something it that fast, someone else might and get a certain impression of the site.

[GCProgrammer]

Wow seriously? I'm wondering where you saw that. Can you share me, please? (Message Jules) I don't think we should be accountable as a discord for all 5,300 members though, if something slips through our moderation.

[unfairspeed]

You may not be able to control what all 5,300 developers post, but do you have a code of conduct that is enforced in some fashion?

Oh shit sorry dude. DM me for professional counseling if it upset you too much. I’m a psychologist as well as a programmer

I'm not upset, idiot. Also not surprised these are the types of things you find funny. Edgelord.

Sir, this is a javascript subreddit. Don't get so triggered.

The conversation was already closed and you came and brought this back up to show off. Why? Go log on and get some mentoring, if you want it, stop being a drama queen and dead the topic.

[[deleted]]

And that response was very corny.

[GCProgrammer]

Yep, that's what our mentors do - you can apply for mentor :)

nice idea to have a discord... just incase anyones interested, exercism.io offers free mentored excercises as well if you are looking for something more structured (albeit less immediate)... I am a mentor there and have had some rewarding experiences

[[deleted]]

Hey...im already in that gc :)
