Somebody who helps you make right choices is called a mentor

Good to know. Now how do I get one?

Ask in the right places. Be investable.

Ironic since the people who are "investable" are the ones to least likely need a mentor

Perhaps I misspoke. When I said be investable, it’s okay to need help, it’s okay to need direction, and it’s okay to need support. Be motivated as well as ready and willing to cultivate grit would’ve been a better statement.

I have mentored people who made the most of my time contribution, and people who fucked off and wasted my time. My time is non renewable, every hour spent is an hour gone forever, and I want to provide as much value as possible with the time I have left (hence my position).

your time is definitely non renewable if your username is 'toomuchtodo'.

(btw hackernews is a waste of all our time)

Doing things that bring you joy and enjoyment aren't a waste of time. Those are the point, everything leads to that. The nickname is sourced from the idea that there is never enough time to do everything worth doing, and sadness about what will get left behind undone on the journey.
