From a rebellious individualist reinventing the wheel...
summary
Companies face a shortage of senior engineers, so mentoring accelerates juniors into seniors by combining onboarding, code reviews and career coaching; mentors spend large amounts of time and see results slowly but gain leadership and communication skills in return. Mentoring requires the mentee to choose a mentor and draft an agenda, while the mentor prioritizes goals, listens for hidden needs, gives actionable guidance and decides when to allow mistakes to learn. Mentoring is a personal guide role, not a one-size-fits-all prescription.
