    I’ve said it before – the best way to stave off tech burnout is to mentor. Just had a great 1st session with a developer excited to give her first ever tech talk! That kind of enthusiasm is infectious. ❤️

    @selketjah For me, burnout happens when I’m just… over it. When I’m fed up with the entire industry and want to burn it to the ground. Helping people starting out rebuilds my reserves. I gave a whole talk about it: https://t.co/CHWEOPuG5E


    Any Kiwis looking for a mentor? 😁 https://t.co/apVKxbZUnD


    @jntrnr I’ve just shared that out. The other thing I’ve seen people do is go to a meetup and make an announcement that you’re available as a mentor.


    @jntrnr I also gave some more ideas in a talk: https://t.co/CHWEOPuG5E (towards the end IIRC).
