Having friends in the same entrepreneurial journey as you is absolutely amazing! However, my friends aren't into technology as much as I am.

Any tips on how to find wannabe absolute beasts in full stack software engineering or mentors who have already become that?

Tried Bumble BFF, MentorCruise, Clarity.fm, CodeMentor, LinkedIn - but no luck. Any tips?
