There have been so many times (and I'm sure there will be so many more) when I just wanted to ask a question about an issue I was having or about best practices that having a mentor to bounce things off of or who would point me in the right direction or to the right resource would be priceless. Any takers? On the flip side, I'm becoming an expert in finding resources and answers anywhere I can -- always rechecking to make sure the resource or response meets best practices. There are some things, tho, that just don't make sense to me and having someone show me a different way to look at the code or language would, again, be priceless. E.g., how to set up my darned Win10 PC to work on Magento & WordPress sites but also expand my language and development skills -- all without trashing my PC (yeah, I know there are a ton of articles/vids out there, but having a personal source that has the same setup would be helpful); and how can I take all the laptops laying around my house and turn them into linux machines and/or servers (here is where some of the concepts just don't seem to sink in) so I can learn on a real linux box without going through Microsoft or Apple. I want to stay ahead of the security curve and the government spying so I have questions I haven't found answers to regarding vpn's, etc. I'm excited about the constant changes in web dev, but have such a hard time grasping/implementing BEM and other best practices. I have so many paid tuts & courses, but just haven't had the time to get through an entire course, when I can find one that is current (just try to find legit current magento courses).
Anyone who is skilled enough to be able to mentor is a saint in my books and if I ever get the skillset, I'd pass it on, too.
