I will occasionally mentor folks of varying ages.

They usually end up talking to me because some project or career path they were on didn't work out how they were expecting.

I mention this b/c at some point I ask them: "Hey, do you have a blog post or website about this failed project?"

They usually say "yes, but who would want to hear about this??"

Me: "You would be ASTOUNDED at what people find interesting. Success or failure, there is always something to be learned from someone else trying to solve a problem."

Hopefully, we see more of these writeups as they are VERY inspirational (successful stories like this one or not)
