Give or receive 1 hour of coding help in 2015
- kbar13 12y agothis looks exactly the same as https://hacksummit.org/ https://hacksummit.org/. is this like part of the same program or from the same people or something?
- imaffett 12y agoIt is part of hacksummit.org
- apexkid 12y agoI was skeptical at first on the concept of how much 1 hour difference can make but given the reputation and the outreach of this initiative now I believe that it can really contribute to a better world for programmers.
- fratx 12y agoAny chance somebody could cite a source for the "10-100 times more productive" thing? Seems more like a myth to me.
- rafaqueque 12y agoSigned.
- thecatsass 12y agoI'm a little confused, do they provide any way in which to give an hour of programming help? I don't know anybody who's interested in programming IRL but I would happily help someone having a trouble with something programming related
- yournemesis 12y agoI'm with you. Is this just some stupid form I fill out for no reason? Or is it going to actually help match me up with people? It might be answered in the video, but I shouldn't have to watch a video to figure out what the point of a web site is.
- edro 12y agoThis is a 2015 New Year's Resolution, so the matchmaking doesn't kick-in until 2015. The purpose of the form is to accumulate a list of mentors and mentees who are committing to this pledge.
- lost-theory 12y agoAfter registering, it gives you this message which says they'll help match you up with a mentee: "Thanks for pledging to mentor! You’ll receive an email with more information about how to fulfill your pledge in early 2015, once we’re ready to match mentors with mentees!"
