Ask HN: Studying Ruby/Seeking Mentor/Will Work Below Market

I've been in and out of the start-up space. I've been out for some time and am looking to return. I've left my job and am dedicating most of my time to upgrading my web development skills. I'm studying Ruby (and portions of the related ecosystem) as well as HTML/CSS/jQuery (where I'm weak). I've never had mentorship and I'd like to meet somebody that can give me high-level guidance to ensure that I invest my time wisely so that I can get back in the game as soon as is reasonably possible. My hope is that this person would either be a Ruby contractor or someone at a start-up and that I could therefore work on real-world projects as I progress. In exchange for the guidance and opportunity, I would be happy to work below market for a period of time that will more than fairly compensate you for your (very limited) time invested. Of course I also hope for a long business relationship. Please contact me if this might interest you at bglenn09 at gmail. I am in New York, but it doesn't matter to me where you are. Thanks!
