Good question and really you shouldn't take only one person's advice because this industry is full of strong but different opinions.
Formation isn't all me and I'm not really involved in the theoretical aspects either - we have people who are better at that stuff working on that haha.
I work on the platform that powers all the practice, sessions, etc ... and I help people 1-1 with support, job hunting strategy, negotiation etc...
Our general model is that you'll have a core team of support staff that's stable, but that all your sessions are run by independent industry engineers . Each has different backgrounds and different strengths and weaknesses so you actually get a wide range of perspectives and personalities. You'll like some mentors and you won't like others, depending on you.
RE: coding machine. At my level I believe in the professional sports analogy. I plan one position really well but you need a full team of superstars to fill the whole field and each one plays a different position. My way isn't objectively right, but I have a role to play and my role is extremely valuable to the team.
