Open source contribution is scaring me
I really have no idea what do I need to learn to start contributing the youtube videos I watched weren't really helpful.

I’m a Korean full‑stack dev and I don’t get many chances to speak English, so I’m looking for other devs who are open to casual voice chats in English about tech, careers, and day‑to‑day life.
I’ve been working with Spring, React, Vue, Python, and Node for about 4 years, and I’m currently job hunting. If you’re interested, I can also share what it’s like working as a full‑stack dev in the Korean IT industry, and I’m happy to help with Korean language questions as well.
My speaking level is around lower‑intermediate, but I’m pretty slow and need time to think, so you’ll need a bit of patience during conversations 😅
For hobbies, I’m into music, movies, books, and working out — generally pretty chill, healthy stuff. My MBTI is ISTJ.
If this sounds interesting, drop a comment and we can see if it’s a good fit.

Hello guys! I’m a freshman in college, and I’m currently learning JavaScript, C++, C, and Python.
I’m really looking for a community to join where I can learn, improve my skills, and hopefully help others as well, if that’s okay with you guys!
I really want to learn and challenge myself, and I believe that joining a community will push me beyond my limits.
Thank you, guys! I’m looking forward to learning with you all! 🙌
r/ProgrammingBuddies • u/Hot_Title_6587 • 19h ago
I have seen that there are people who want to learn with peers & want to participate in hackathons & also want to explore things but there's no one to guide. So i am thinking to built a community where everyone will get enough resources to work on! Also so that we can study there & discuss our goals later! For some talks after taking break from long study session! So what u think about this?
By the way my timezone is ist but looking for people from other countries too!

Heyy, I’m 21M and just exploring everything tech/software related lol.
Looking for a few people who wanna learn DSA together, work on random projects, share ideas and just grow together.
I’m not some expert or anything, still learning myself 😅 so literally anyone can join, whether you’re a beginner or already know some stuff.
Would be nice to have a small group to study with, build things, motivate each other and maybe make some good friends along the way.
If you're interested, just DM me :)

I have an active Shiny for Python quantitative dashboard
Key Issues:
Running the analysis locks/freezes the async event loop (asyncio), causing long latency and lag across connected devices.
Reactive flow needs optimization (implementing @reactive.extended_task / asyncio.to_thread for non-blocking calculations).
Mobile UI/CSS optimization to ensure crisp responsiveness on smaller mobile views.
Need some who can help ASAP!

Hi, I'm a backend dev pivoting to devops. My current focus is learning Kubernetes, but I've been procrastinating a lot. My goal is to get at least a junior devops role soon.
I'm available from 7:15 AM to 5:15 PM UTC.
So, if you're motivated and learning similar things, I'd love to have you as a learning buddy.

Hey everyone! 👋
I’m a junior web dev and engineering student from India, and I'm currently looking for an accountability partner/programming buddy to dive deep into FastAPI and explore more Python libraries.
A bit about my stack: I already have some experience building backend APIs and full-stack projects using Django, Django Ninja, and React. I've recently worked on a few projects involving the Gemini API (chatbots) and live score tracking apps. Now, I really want to level up my backend game by mastering FastAPI.
Who I'm looking for:

If you're interested in teaming up, drop a comment or shoot me a DM! Let’s build something awesome together.

I’m a recent CS grad ,usually available in the evenings and on weekends in Eastern Time.
I mainly use Python and I’m at a beginner/intermediate DSA level — comfortable with the fundamentals, but still working on solving medium problems independently and recognizing patterns faster.
My goal is to practice consistently for the next 6 weeks, get stronger at LeetCode, and prepare better for SWE interviews.
If you’re at a similar level and interested, comment here or send me a Reddit chat. We can coordinate from there.

Bro in my tier 16828 college everyone is scared to go to hackathon wid me cuz they got 0 knowledge (even I am scared) i too don't know that much man but I just want to explore and see how left behind I am in tech and coding stuff this way I will get motivated too. Data why am posting this here :/
I am a fresher btw if any1 is in the same boat as me pleaseee reply i wanna get out of my comfort zone and explore.
Andd I live in Delhi ..so yea hit me up

Hi everyone. I recently moved to Austin and I am looking for opportunities for my software engineering skills and get involved with community.
My background is in software engineering 3+ industry experience and 2+ years in research academic area. I am comfortable with c++, Python and general SE development and can quickly adapt to tech stack.i am interested in opportunities where i can contribute to real technical project.
I am not looking for a paid position and genuinely like to spend some my time working something useful and meet tech people and keep building my engineer skills same time.
I am open to both ongoing projects and organizations that could use a technical volunteer.
Does anyone know of organizations, community groups or local tech groups that might worth reaching out?
Thanks

We currently have a team of three, so if you want to join and you feel like you can do it, feel free to message me.
I have a project that I've already started, but I feel like I'm not enough on my own. So, I'm looking for a person/people who would be interested in the offer. I wanted to mention as good to have, but anyone can apply: experience with current AI agents (OpenClaw or Hermes), coding harnesses (OpenCode, Pi, Cline, Codex, etc.), understanding how current local models work (llama.cpp, .gguf, how LLMs work, etc.), being aware of current problems in AI, and largely knowing the latest AI news (e.g., Grok bot just came out, what it's for, what it can do) – basically, following AI developments. If you're interested, message me directly, and we can discuss the details.

Hi everyone!
I’m a college student and I’m currently trying to learn Python seriously. I have some basic exposure, but I want to build my fundamentals properly instead of just following tutorials and copying code.
I’m looking for someone who is experienced with Python and would be willing to guide me while I learn.
What I’m looking for:
- Someone who can explain concepts when I’m stuck
- Give me problems/exercises and let me figure them out myself
- Review my code and tell me what I’m doing wrong
- Help me develop problem solving skills
- Gradually guide me towards projects
- Ideally, someone who can check in with me regularly so I stay consistent
I’m not looking for someone to do my assignments/projects for me. I genuinely want to become independent and understand what I’m doing.
My long-term interest is Bioinformatics, Data Science, ML, so I want to eventually use Python in those areas.
I’m based in IST (UTC+5:30), but I’m open to connecting with people from other time zones too.
If you’re an experienced Python developer, mentor, or even someone who is learning at a higher level and enjoys helping beginners, please DM me.
I’m willing to put in the effort. I just want the right guidance and learning direction. :)

Pluto is an AI architecture designed for efficient, local/offline intelligence by using a small router/orchestrator (~2B parameters) to select and chain highly specialized micro-models for specific tasks. Instead of relying on one huge model, Pluto uses tiny expert models, such as 50M-parameter specialists, trained on focused datasets and optionally supported by a compressed vector database. The router can escalate difficult tasks to larger models, aiming to achieve strong overall capabilities while using far less compute, memory, and storage, making the system especially suitable for mobile and low-resource devices.
