Reminds me of Jennifer Dewalt and her "180 webpages in 180 days" project she did to learn programming. https://jenniferdewalt.com/ https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6097155 (I'm usually bad with names, but I remember her name to this day. It was a really good way to make an impression!)

This is a powerful question. Some form of mentorship might be incredibly important. In my own life, there have been many times when someone I met on the Internet has said something to me that really transformed how I see the world or my work.
A question that comes to mind is, "how do you enable true and capable mentors to have more impact?" and "how do you avoid being lead by pretend ones?"
