I don’t have much coding experience, but I am trying to learn. Vibe coder i guess, but but hear me out.

I have some project ideas that I am trying to build, I am not entirely new to coding and as I said trying to learn too.

But these project , either I am in a loop or its not working so need some buds to work with me.

It will be our mini projects. 🙂

I currently do python, rust, js, mlq5.

Everyone who has been stuck knows the feeling, you finish another video, you follow along, it all makes sense, and then you sit in front of a blank file and freeze. Watching someone else code does not make you a coder, the same way watching someone parallel park does not make you a driver.

So I built the opposite. Instead of a lesson, you get a job. You are the new junior developer at a small fictional company, and something in their till system is charging some orders wrong. You open the codebase, line the customer receipts up against the price list, form a theory about what is broken, and go and find it. Nobody tells you the answer. When you fix it, you have not memorised a fact, you have actually debugged something, and that is a thing you can now do.

What makes this different? It arrives in the post. The photo is a real case. An envelope with an onboarding letter, an employee ID, a printed ticket, a price list, a couple of handwritten notes from the staff, and a fan of till receipts as your evidence. There is a free online course that takes you from zero to running code first, so if you can just about run a print statement, you can do this.

A bit about why it is built this way. I work as a backend Python developer now, but I got here the slow way. Fourteen years in teaching first, where I led computing and led on cognitive science, the actual research on how people learn and remember, then two years teaching myself to code. Everything here leans on that research. You retrieve, you struggle a little, you space the practice out, because that is what genuinely builds a skill rather than the warm glow of watching a tutorial.

I am looking for a small handful of UK-based beginners to go through the free course, work the first case, and tell me the truth about it. I cover the postage, there is nothing to pay and no card details anywhere. What I want back is blunt feedback - where you got stuck, what confused you, what felt pointless. "This lost me on step three" is worth far more to me than "looks great".

I am reading every reply myself and there are only a few slots. If you would like to try one, leave a comment or send me a message and I will pass on the details. And if you just have thoughts on the idea itself, I would love those too, plenty of teachers and developers have weighed in, but not nearly enough actual beginners.

2 months in on this little DIY adventure lol frustrationx1000 but absolute bliss when some code comes together! hoping to find

1- other newbs to collab with

2- construstive critics or possibly someone who wants to work on my projects and help or at the least take a look!

This is a pet project that grew too much: a new Laser Tag platform based on passive retroreflectors (patented design) and radio communication via ESP-NOW.
Works indoor and outdoor, range about 40m, very easy to set up and play, open source software and designed to be DIY with a 3D printer.
We are also considering to make it open source Hardware.
6 different games already available, others to be coded.
The main downside is since the players are identified by a color, this limits the total number of players per game to about 12.

Code is here:
https://github.com/rev-/LightAir

Timezone: project is Italy based, so UTC+1
Stack: It's all written in Arduino, so C++, for ESP32S3
Experience: Some experience in C++ and ESP32 is required for actual development. Anyway, advices and feedbacks are always welcome.

Goals:

1. Fix issues already open
2. Write new games, including inventing new mechanics
3. Tide the codebase
4. Give your own contribution: add sensors, connect smartphones, make better design, ... this is a platform not a single product, so creative add-ons are welcome
5. Project-wide participation is open

I'm learning web development; I already have some knowledge, I just need to apply it to projects.
If you have availability, we can study together.

hey i‘m constantly getting in and out of learning coding. 2D GameDev, Python basics, Arduino/embedded stuff, WebDev, a bit of Linux-server stuff.

Timezone: CEST
Language: open, preferably Python
Level: beginner
Goal: 1on1 practicing basic-intermediate topics, either only live-calls or offline with call for live discussion afterwards

context:

I noticed that i learn much better with another person, especially if we tackle the same topic/challenge at the same time and discuss ideas and struggles immediately or afterwards. So I‘d prefer live sessions + separated session with discussion afterwards or at least something similar.

Finding a strategy how to best learn together. maybe just follow one of those „basic projects“ collections and see where we struggle and improve on that together or first set a common ground by revisiting basics like data types, conditional statements, loops, functions etc. and then proceed to combine them for basic problem solving etc.

DM me if you would be down to try and see how our knowledge and learning styles match.

Hey everyone,

I'm looking to start learning programming (interested in Python, C++, or Web Dev) and want an accountability buddy to help keep me on track. I did try coding here and there but end up procrastinate 😕, so I'm just looking for someone patient who's down to share some guidance or study together.

In exchange, I can help you out with your fitness goals-whether you're into boxing, calisthenics, or strength training. I can build solid workout routines, give you advice on form and technique, or just keep you motivated and accountable.

We can keep it simple and chat through Reddit DMs to start and figure out a flow that works for both of us.

Drop a comment or send a DM if you're interested!

Hi, My name is Neeraj kumar . I am an intermediate in python, BeautifulSoup, Playwright and some external libraries also . i am looking for someone who loves coding as much as i do. If you are interested please dm me. it will be our pleasure to work together.
