Hi, I’m new to RoR but not completely new to programming. I’m looking for an experienced RoR developer to guide my tour. I know it might be slight chance to get response, but still doesn’t harm to try.
My target of learning RoR is to develop fullstack app alone. The technology stack I choose is: Ruby on Rails + Vue + sqlite
I’m a well-versed UI/UX designer, also a product manager as my career. Fluent at using modern JavaScript, Figma design tool, and Englsih. I’ll be heavily investing my time on learning my chosen tech stack this month.
If you happened to have some spare time, and are willing to offer some help (any help would be appreciated!), please leave me a message below or send me an email if you prefer (lavabyte@duck.com).
I don’t think you need a “formal” mentor as of today. Large language models are better than most paid couch. And you don’t have to consume somebody else’s spare time. If you really have some tough questions, you can always ask here
Got it! Thanks for the response. @WildCat Just one quick question, should I buy and read lastest version of “Programming Ruby 3.3.4”? Or just read v2.0 which I currently already have. Do they differ much?
Sign up to https://firstrubyfriend.org/ and you’ll be assigned a mentor. It’s a valuable thing to have one!
An alternative to having a random mentor is to try and help out in OSS projects. This way actual people will read and give feedback on your code, and you’ll be contributing to something that actual people use. The one who reads and gives you feedback on your code becomes your de-facto mentor!
You can use this to find an interesting project: https://www.codetriage.com/
I definitely appreciate your idea of contributing to OSS projects. I always feel that I’m not so competent that I could be able to file pull requests to other peoples’ projects. I think it’s time to try!
