As counter-intuitive as it sounds having a supervisor being that interested in laying down a lot of red... is a win :)
I agree, it's a win.
two things are worse than having someone help edit
someone who gives praise and does nothing when it really does need help
someone who puts down for no reason when the work is perfectly fine
but i get it, it's a bit of an ego bruise

For sure, I have been very lucky to have a supportive mentor, I just feel like I've failed him (and myself) a bit - but better not to dwell on it, onward we go, even if the end result isn't really ground breaking or entirely my idea, I'll have learned something from it I hope.
having a mentor is the most wonderful thing in the world π₯Ή
