Can you speak more on which responsibilities are given to the program lead mentor other than watching development and calling off progress on a mechanism? This is an interesting role that I never really see being talked about and would like to know more in depth about its proper usage.
There's no feeling quite like that one you get when you're behind the diamond plate controlling a metal beast that you've put your blood (literally), sweat (more literally), and tears (probably literally) into, and it working. Undescribable. - scali [more]
