How would you mentor new entrants into tech in general and programming in particular? (lemmy.ml)

So on a different platform, I came across heated conversations about more experienced tech workers being unwilling to mentor new entrants. While I thought that was an unfair accusation, I thought to ask a wider audience their views and thoughts on mentoring upcommers. Do you mentor anyone? Were you mentored? How much impact does mentoring have on career growth?

In our company mentoring was done by selecting easy bugs and letting the new hires solve them. And doing pair programming if they got stuck on something. Also one dev is given the responsability and time to mentor them for the first few months.
