Hi there, I don't know if this is the right place to ask but... what does a mentor is supposed to do? I, as a developer/"wannabe entrepreneur" have never had something that I could call a "mentor"... maybe the boss of my first job, but I didn't see him as a guiding force in my career.

To me a mentor is someone who is interested in helping me, I have a good relationship with and cares about my growth.
How you two go about doing those things will be entirely up to you. For example, maybe you two have some frequency of checkins or interact on a need basis. This could be over plain old chatting, code review, or playing a game. As long as there are thought out topics to discuss and a medium that makes people comfortable.

#25I am a front-end developer and been coding for about 3 years now, I am currently looking to learn CS basics and transition to a software engineer. I'm looking for a mentor who can guide me through the path and give me useful advice.
Thanks in advance :)
