I was just having a similar discussion with Chris Picone the other day. We were saying how one of the best compliments we could get on our teams (this may not be the case for all teams, and that is perfectly okay) is when people make the comment that something is "mentor built." I think that's when we've done our jobs well. Now, obviously these comments can be repetitive and annoying for students/mentors to hear overtime (1114, 254..etc.) but I think for new mentors it might be considered an accomplishment depending on how your team is run.

Hope that wasn't off-topic. Carry on.
