  Of possible interest to those here, a NYC-based programming retreat:

  I did one of their mini-mentorships a few years ago and it was a great experience.

  Ah, that sounds pretty interesting! How did you make that work? (Did you take reassignment time or a sabbatical?) I don’t qualify for sabbatical yet but that type of environment sounds like it would be really beneficial, giving some structure and a dedicated environment to do what I’ve been doing on and off for the past year…

  The one I did was called RC Start (also via the Recurse Center), which sadly doesn’t exist anymore. But it wasn’t a retreat; you were basically just assigned a mentor for 6 months. It was fun. The retreat would be amazing, but I agree that it is hard to arrange from a practical perspective
