First of all, thank you for your baby called DEV.to, so many awesome and friendly devs as well as tons of valuable content here. What do you think is better for a junior dev who doesn't have a mentor:

  • Hire somebody to mentor?
  • Or learn and practice everything by yourself?

Probably a combination, honestly. Learning by yourself is a critical part of any dev's journey but so is person-to-person feedback.

They complement one another. Not an either/or.
