[OFF-TOPIC] How do I find a mentor when no one I work with knows what they are doing?

I'm sure there will be a substantial amount of arrogance perceived from
this question, but frankly I don't think that I have anything to learn from
my co-workers, which saddens me because I really like to learn and I know
that I have a lot of learning to do.

I've been employed as a software engineer for about eight months now and I
feel like I haven't learned nearly as much as I should. Sure, I've picked
up little tidbits of information here and there, but I'm no more confident
in my ability to build anything more complex than a basic crud app than I
was the day I started.

Things I'm interested include contributing to both Python and Django,
database design and data modeling, API design, code quality, algorithms and
data structures, and software architecture, among other things.

Basically, I want to be a better engineer. Where can I find someone willing
to point me in the right direction and what can I offer in return?

Happy Monday!

James
