Ask HN: Looking for mentor
I have been coding and learning for the past 15 months. Before now coding was my hobby for years. My intention is to change career. However, I have gone for 2 interviews in the last 2 weeks without success. They mentioned my code quality. I take it as an opportunity to improve and advance myself further. Being self-taught I have decided to polish and code professionally. Last 2 interviews were C lang and Lisp. I want to focus on C Lang(maybe C++ along the way).
If you have time to review and comment codes in C Lang and also assign intermediate project assignments then you are the one I am looking for.
Please accept to mentor me.
- mathgeek 10y agoWhat level of developer/engineer have you been applying for? My guess is that you should be aiming for junior positions (which can be hard to find). Your first mentor is usually going to be whoever your coworkers are in a junior position. That's just how the industry works. I recommend something like https://www.gitbook.com/book/lefticus/cpp-best-practices/details https://www.gitbook.com/book/lefticus/cpp-best-practices/det...

So long as the code works before posting, it often provides insightful reviews by experienced professionals: https://codereview.stackexchange.com/ https://codereview.stackexchange.com/ Good luck.
