How would you mentor new entrants into tech in general and programming in particular? (lemmy.ml)

So on a different platform, I came across heated conversations about more experienced tech workers being unwilling to mentor new entrants. While I thought that was an unfair accusation, I thought to ask a wider audience their views and thoughts on mentoring upcommers. Do you mentor anyone? Were you mentored? How much impact does mentoring have on career growth?

I think mentoring is incredibly important-it's how the field.stays vital. I've done it in my career through code reviews, architecture discussions, pair programming, and for hobby stuff even just writing blog posts about how I got stuff to work.
