I started with curiosity and no roadmap. Most people still do.
There was no mentor when I began — just bulky monitors, floppy disks, and a conviction that the machine could do more than I knew how to ask of it. I got here anyway, slowly, and with far more wasted turns than were necessary. Mentorship is my attempt to shorten that walk for someone else.
Fewer wasted turns
The hardest part of learning to build software alone is not the syntax. It is not knowing which of the thousand things in front of you actually matters, and having nobody to ask. You spend months on something that did not need months, and skip the thing that did.
That is the specific gap I care about. Not tutorials — there are more tutorials than anyone could ever watch. What is missing is judgment: what to learn next, what to ignore, what "good" looks like, and how to tell whether you are actually progressing or just busy.
This runs alongside KodeFiction, which is my ongoing effort to make programming reachable for people starting where I started. Same idea, different shape — one is material, this is people.
It is also the same principle behind everything else here: data and software in service of human development. A person is worth the same careful attention I would give a system.
The community space isn't live yet
A proper community space for this is on the way. It isn't open, there's nothing to join today, and I'd rather say that than put up a door that leads nowhere. Leave your email and I'll let you know the moment it's open.
One email when it opens. Nothing else, and no list I sell or share.
