I'm not a coder by profession. I was really tired of working with developers that tried pulling wool over my eyes.

I found a mentor on reddit that mentored me via email. It only lasted a couple of weeks because as much as he wanted to help he realised he just didn't have the time. That said, the little bit of time help that i did get from him was amazing. It really propelled my learning by an order of magnitude.

I work with developers quite often and it has since given me a lot of confidence.

On a sidenote, I mentor start-ups and they also they've found the mentoring very useful.
