1. Respect and learn from everything mentor says. 2. Try out all the things mentor suggests that you have time to try out. 3. Throw out everything and do what you think is best. Sometimes you'll be right, the clouds will part and you will feel the warmth of the sun on your face. Other times you'll be wrong and will humbly think "mentor was right that time". But, at the end of the day its your name attached to those lines of code, its your career, and your life. Survive by your own cunning. And, while we're doling out life advice- I strongly suggest standing up often.
