I already talked about this in one of my previous posts

The platform should have at least some decency to verify who is trying to become a mentor.
It is like only fans for professionals without the skin
Lately I’ve started seeing so many topmate posts. Every other guy is giving mentorship by posting topmate links.
Recently i saw topmate post of one of my ex colleagues who used to write shitty code in production.
I wonder what kind of...
Hi folks, I'm doing a product teardown on Topmate.io and wanted to understand some things from someone who is either a creator there or has taken a session there.
