Had similar experiences in my first job with one of the smartest engineers I ever worked with (Claudio Marcio da Silveira). He early-retired to work on his family business (something related to flowers). But I can still remember all the times he let me learn by doing small mistakes, covered my bigger mistakes, and also educated me. Trying to become that same engineer in my own way, but I definitely own a lot to him. And to other professors from uni/school that were extremely kind as well.
