				    Had my first 'mentor' moment at work today!
 
 Newest guy couldn't figure something out and asked me, slightly nervously, for help.

				    This guy at my last internship. A windows fanboy to the fucking max!
 
 He was saying how he'd never use anything related to Linus Torvalds because he hated him for creating Linux.
 
 Two seconds later I saw him initializing a new git repo.
 
 I was standing there like:
 
 *should I tell him?*

 I can't recall any bad advice given to me. It's either been good, or I completely forgot about it.
