How to find the right mentor 💎

I met my mentor (even though he would never admit to that noscript) about two years ago back when i was a first year and barely knew anything besides the content my school had thought me, which was just c++.

he guided me from making my first Figma design 📱 , to learning css proficiently , to picking up javanoscript and svelte 📱 and hes even the person who sent me the link to codenight and some of the community channels for me to even know Ethiopian developers had channels like robi makes stuff ( i thought he was a 30 year old white guy) and Tz and even convinced me to create this channel.


A mentor is supposed to guide you towards the right direction, not spoon feed you and tell you what to do day by day .

A mentor should be patient as hell because you will ask a whole lot of dumb questions before you get good at anything, there are a lot of basic things that took me hours to understand and annoyed him by asking questions but he didn't get frustrated or call me an idiot because he gets that learning something new might be hard

A mentor should also be a friend , you'll have an easier time if you see them as a friend as well and talk about regular casual stuff as well rather than just someone that's teaching you

Your mentor should not be easily surpassable , and should also be striving to get better constantly , i send a 12 hour coding time screenshot, bro will send back 13 💀

A mentor should be happy to see you succeed , if brook has one supporter left , then I know its gonna be him, bros genuinely happy to see me win and that's rare to find


👋So if you see someone that actually has these traits, ask them, most people are willing to help


🥊He's definitely gonna kill me for this post

But thanks eyos

Forwarded from Naol.Builds
I want to share a story about my friend, Kalkidan—a talented Python developer and a key contributor to the Ethiopian dev community. He’s known for building amazing Telegram bots that many of us use and benefit from. But what’s truly inspiring? He’s done all of this using just his phone.

Despite his passion and dedication, not having a laptop makes it harder for him to grow and achieve more. That’s why I’ve decided to start a fundraising campaign to help him buy a laptop.

This is the biggest thing I want to achieve this year, and with your help, we can make it happen! Every contribution counts, no matter how small. Let's give Kalkidan the tools he needs to keep growing and supporting our community.
