Avdi: Mentorship does not have to be a huge commitment to be useful and sponsorship is often as important -- or more important than mentorship.
Chanté: What are the things that we’re willing to do for people who need an extra boost or push or support?
Jacob: Mentorship is possible without the mentors knowing they’re even doing it.
Rein: If you’re a mentor and your mentees aren’t coming to you with well-formed questions, it’s your job to coach them into that as a mentor.
Emily: There aren’t enough resources for senior engineers on the non-technical side of things.
