Mentoring

Heads up! I was providing free mentoring, but unfortunately not doing it for free anymore. Sorry about that. See below for more info if you came to this place because of that!

I’m available for team coaching and code consulting for everyone. Every Thursday and Friday, I’m available for calls between 10:00-17:00 GMT+1.

I love coaching and brainstorming with teams on finding solutions and learning from them and educating others.

What are you waiting for? Book an appointment here in my calendly! Also, add me on LinkedIn here: www.linkedin.com/in/ebosch or follow me on GitHub

So, what’s the deal with no free mentoring anymore?

I really wanted to do free mentoring to help people move forward. Unfortunately, it became really demotivating since a big slice of people dropped off as soon as they had something come up or when it became a bit more challenging. People would miss their deadlines, not finish their homework, or not actually develop their skills and projects, or simply not show up. It actually made me pretty miserable.

As soon as I started to charge for this, this changed. I got better quality, more motivated, and happier mentees.

Mentoring is not my main income; I do it on the side.

So what’s the price tag?

That depends on what you need: a one-off code review is not a monthly career track. Drop me a message or book an intro call in my calendly and I’ll give you a straight number for a package that fits.

Now, let’s say you’re totally in no position to pay for this but you are super dedicated, drop me a message anyway and we’ll see if we can work something out.

Some things I can help you with

  • Learn a programming language or framework such as Rails, Node, or Deno.
  • My development team is not having as much velocity as I want. How can I improve this?
  • How do I prepare for a development interview? Do I need to know algorithms and this LOG(N2) magic?
  • I am building this great aggregator system. I think we need 16 micro services. Can you check if I drank the Kool-Aid?
  • We’re not sure what kind of container solution we should use. Kubernetes, Mesos, Rancher, Maersk?
  • Everyone says testing is important. What should I test?
  • Can you check my pull request?
  • How can I successfully outsource my development?
  • We’re deciding on a front-end framework. Can you recommend anything? Why?
  • What are the best practices for requirements gathering?
  • What do I need to look for when hiring a developer?
  • What kind of API technology should I use?
  • I’m a starting developer. Where should I focus on?
  • Should I attract external capital? Or just bootstrap? Or maybe just ICO this stuff?

Wow! How can I book you?

You can book me on my calendly here.

Can you offer me an internship or a job?

Yes! I totally can! I have many awesome projects for you to work on. From standard CRUD apps to landing pages. From lifestyle businesses to high-frequency trading, crypto to CPU cache alignment projects. I have a big network of startups and I’m sure I can give you a great place
