Anybody looking for Mentors or willing to be a Mentor?
lazyant: Funny that I few days ago I was thinking about this idea of "peer mentorship". You see, in a typical mentor-protege relationship (like in this site, which is great if it works btw) there's a hierarchy: the mentor advises the protege in a one-way street.My idea is having connections between two people on the same level, so that they both help each other. So if HN is a gym, this would be like having a personal trainer (and being a trainer for somebody).Rather than specialized domain or expert advise, this would be more for things like getting a new and honest opinion about ideas/implementations etc, prodding the other person to action (you skipped exercising this week again?!) etc.I see many ways why this wouldn't work (most people won't 'click' between each other etc) but for instance I would benefit from chatting once a week or a month with someone who's following what I'm doing and vice versa.
