Show HN: Codegates – Learn Basic Coding with the Help of a Personal Mentor
- stephenbez 8y agoThis sounds pretty cool. I do backend development and if I wanted to learn modern web development or functional programming I could see myself potentially using a service like this. (Of course someone saying they would be interested and having a paying customer is very different!) The pricing seems unsustainably low. If each person spends 1 hour with a mentor per week, it seems like the price would have to be at least 5x more to make any profit given that your mentors are expensive skilled developers. For "Co-coding Evenings", when you request help, is it through a chat room? Or screen sharing? You may want to look into https://www.bloc.io https://www.bloc.io. It's more of an online coding bootcamp, but a big part of it is having a personal mentor who can answer your questions.

- angelmass 8y agoNice, always good to provide more avenues for people to enter the field, IMO. Is there a way to apply as a mentor? Or are you pretty set in that department? I can’t find anything to facilitate that at the moment, but on mobile right now.
