I'm a web sysop and support engineer. My skills are mainly in back-end: Java, Linux, Python, PostgreSQL, Git, and GitLab. Currently I'm learning front-end skills: JavaScript, and Ruby.
This is the kind of meta-mentorship that I was hoping to read when I clicked the headline, thank you. I've been a mentor a few times in my career, and each time I felt a lot of impostor syndrome - who am I to be guiding this person? They know more than I do!
But the feedback I've had is that it is the support, encouragement, and experience in figuring things out that is appreciated, more than what I actually know myself.
So I encourage people reading this to seek Mentees out and be a humble guide.
