#1609 How Codementor is connecting developers with mentors

1 hour 3 minutes

I remember when today’s guest posted on Hacker News that he has launched this new thing. It’s called Codementor, instant one-on-one mentoring.

If you’re a developer or someone learning to code, you want a pro to just look over your shoulder and give you feedback. And so, I thought, “This guy’s brilliant, whoever came up with this. No wonder it’s doing so well.”

But it turns out it wasn’t a big business at the time, it was just some dude, some guy who had a lot of entrepreneurial experience who said, “I’m not going to do it the same way anymore. I just want to start this thing easy and build it up.”

Weiting Liu is the founder of Codementor, a community which gives developers live mentorship.
