I have had a few mentors, not all of them deeply technical. The interesting thing is that all of them are/were older at the time, as in more than 20 years older. And that is the big problem in tech and corporate culture in general. There isn't enough room for senior engineers to just be engineers. You either go into management or you fall out of the industry, and that is a problem.
