The power of mentorship
summary
Compares two coaching modes: a directive quick-fix versus sit with two or three and prompt reflection with ask "what do you think?" Shows mentorship reduces repeated missteps (claims saving ~20 minutes a day per avoidable error), compounds ideas so outcomes exceed the sum of opinions, and boosts learning for both mentor and mentee. Gives a concrete code-review contrast where directive rework repeats mistakes while conversational review teaches pattern recognition and produces better long-term results.
