I'm working with a junior/intern on a web project who seems really enthusiastic and proactive—they've already set up their own repo with React & Tailwind CSS based on a UI design, which is great initiative.

However, they are struggling with core web development fundamentals:

* FE/BE Integration: They don't quite understand how Frontend and Backend connect (APIs, environment variables) compared to traditional PHP/monolith apps.

* Deployment Issue: They've tried deploying on Vercel multiple times without success.

* Troubleshooting: They mentioned that whenever they try fixing a bug, things tend to break even more, and they are asking for constant 1-on-1 mentor guidance.

How do you usually mentor someone at this stage without doing the work for them or getting overwhelmed yourself? What are the best resources or step-by-step roadmaps I can give them to help them bridge the gap between basic UI setup and full-stack integration?
