Paying a dev for mentorship is not affordable. Anyone skilled enough to provide paid mentorship already has a well paying job.

Clean code: Just build, refactor and refine. Eventually you'll start producing better code. A huge part of leveling up as a programmer is time spent programming, there's no shortcuts here. It's the number of hours you put in - which will be in the thousands over years and years....the leveling up process is slow but if you're consistent it's worth it
