I have begun my development career as of late and have yet to acquire any mentoring in this field. All I've done and learned has been a result of reading, reading, and reading some more. I consider my obsession with my craft too healthy and wish to go more than the extra mile. Where would one find a repository of mentors?

It looks like dev.to has some new functionality that allows you to say you'd like a mentor. I haven't used it yet, but it sounds neat.

Also, your local meetups might help you meet people who would be willing to mentor you. Have you tried attending meetups?

Lastly, I know there was a push on Twitter a while ago for people to post that they are willing to accept mentees. I can't remember when that was or what the hashtag was, but you could probably find it!

Good luck!
