Meaningful Mentorship for Developers
summary
Outlines a repeatable mentorship recipe: four phases — initiation, cultivation (typically 2–5 years, but 2–5 months in bootcamps), separation and redefinition — plus habits that make them work. Recommends once a week for 1.5 hours, pairing with the mentee driving, using screenhero and async Slack/Skype for questions, and running a posse mentorship (three mentors, 4–5 students). Cites Kram/Chao/Allen-style research, shows mentor benefits (motivation, retention, network ripple) and a concrete plan to turn mentees into mentors.
