I had a really good mentor for many years. He was my manager starting back when I was in high school, and he was always working with us to improve our code. He recommended good books and articles, put in place systems of formal code reviews that emphasized egoless programming, so we could review, learn about, and improve our code without feeling threatened. He helped me think about the code development process and how to be constantly improving it. He helped me establish many good habits that helped me to grow throughout the years. More than 3 decades later we are still good friends.
