Before I do, I want to say that I'm\n+incredibly proud of what [Justin] and [Ana] were able to achieve this summer. I\n+feel lucky to have had the opportunity to mentor such talented, enthusiastic,\n+and motivated individuals. I hope that they feel they learned something of value\n+during their projects - I most certainly have!\n+\n+Something to note before I get into my learnings and advice for anyone about to\n+embark on mentoring (or being mentored) is that these were remote mentorships.\n+Although I was fortunate enough to spend time with Justin and Ana, for the\n+majority of their projects we had an ocean separating us. As a result some of\n+what I'll talk about may be specific to the nature of this challenge.\n+\n+# Prepare a cohesive project\n+\n+The two projects I mentored were very different. Ana's was an enhancement to a\n+[pytest plugin][pytest-html], of which I have been the primary contributor and\n+maintainer. Being so familiar with the project, and understanding the problems\n+that the project addresses helped me to form a fairly cohesive project. There\n+were a few smaller enhancements initially to get Ana familiar with the codebase\n+and associated packages, leading up to the main enhancement. This made it easier\n+to gauge how well Ana was progressing, and to decide when she was ready to move\n+onto the main task.\n+\n+For Justin's project I was initially less familiar with the needs of
