Lenny Distilled

Help first, ask later - that's how mentorship begins

Craft → Career Growth

Defining
Go reach out to a PM and ask how you can make their day easier. Figure out what you can do in your spare time that they can offload to you and do a little bit of volunteer labor, even if that's just shadowing because I think just getting that context and understanding the sort of rhythm of how a team ideates and defines problems and prioritizes and ship software is the experience that's going to be the most important.
Nuanced
Don't feel ashamed to reach out to something for help. It gives a lot of them great honor. The biggest honor most people get in their lives, or one of the biggest honor is when other people ask them for help. Because we all just want to feel useful.
