Video Description:
In this video, Iā€™m diving into why senior developers often refuse to mentor junior developers. If youā€™ve been struggling to find a mentor, it might be because of some common mistakes that are easy to fix but often overlooked. Iā€™ll share five harsh truths that explain why senior devs arenā€™t jumping at the chance to help youā€”and, spoiler alert, itā€™s not just about them being too busy.

This isnā€™t about sugarcoating; Iā€™m here to call out some real issues that might be holding you back, like not taking the initiative, showing inconsistent effort, and having unrealistic expectations. If youā€™re serious about growing as a developer, this video is for you. Letā€™s break down what it takes to truly earn mentorship and become the kind of developer others want to help.
