Code Learners; quick question: Where do you go when you need practical help that requires maybe a conversation?

Please please create this platform. It is so needed. Some of us live in third world villages. Literally. While the internet is a treasure trove, nothing beats a one on one with an expert or even someone just farther along than you.
It would be invaluable (Don't make it too expensive though. I need to be able to afford it as soon as you launch)

I've seen this sort of service consulting aka pay for an expert model with coding problems. Not sure if it is an active business in other areas.

try codementor.io

Take a look at https://www.platohq.com/, they are doing this but for engineering leadership. To be honest, I don't think you can replicate what they do and target engineers. Plato's model is to target companies, which then pay for mentoring for their engineering leaders or those who will be soon. Engineers (I know a lot of them and am one myself) prefer to solve problems without throwing money at the issue.

I would love such a platform, however it should also support 1:N it will be awesome because the prices can be reduced, or a generic M:N where there are M coaches and N students. Let the users decided how they want to go about it.

I probably ask the question I have on Reddit/Stackoverflow/dev.to or ask advice from my collegues.

I never had to, I just keep struggling until I get what I want, if not, stackoverflow, but with Google and general understanding/logic should be enough, as a good engineer you should be able to do what you need yourself, thats my point of view.
