Finding a mentor for getting better at code is probably not the best way. The best way is to build, break, build again. Great programmers are masters of detail, you only get to detail with daunting experience in things that won't work. That said, if you decide to find a mentor, start with people closest to you. Ask your family members and friends first. You'd be surprised how many great people are within 2-3 degrees of separation. This is old school, but works.
