Ask HN: How do I find an apprentice?
This would be someone junior (maybe just out of code school) that I could pay hourly to gain more practical experience working with me (a dev with over a decade of experience) by working on side projects, open source, etc? The apprentice could even be working full time already and just wants some deeper mentorship or diverse experience.
This would be similar to an intern but paid directly by me (an individual) and closer interaction —heavy on pair programming but also some individual work.
The goal of the apprentice should be to learn more about the art of writing code —which I think of much like a trade. And on my end the goal would be to give back to the community as well as get an extra set of hands.
I know apprenticeships exist in other trades, and in the music industry. Curious if anyone had tried to do them in the programming world.
Sorry if there is any bad spelling. This was typed on mobile and spelling is not my forte.
