Ask HN: Would you mentor a beginner dev?

[arbawk]

Are you currently mentoring? If not, would you see value in spending 30 mins or 1 hour per week dedicated to helping a qualified, passionate beginner dev make the right choices to advance their career?

I have noticed beginner after beginner get completely stuck on advancing their side projects, wind up in tutorial hell, and ultimately feel hopeless when it comes to pursuing this profession.

I am curious if there would be enthusiasm from the side of experienced developers to offer mentorship and give back to the community in this fashion.

sounds like the writer becoming the typist and the typist getting famous as writer.

Not sure I understand what you're getting at.
