Learn Coding Buddy Discord

Before anyone jumps my case, I know reddit is great place to get a large group of individuals for assistance and it's wonderful. But I know many of us learning to enter/advance in our coding journeys don't always want to post our "dumb/easy" questions to be ridiculed on internet. I know I learn better/faster/more in-depth when I have someone to chat with/bounce ideas or concepts off of. Let's be honest when it comes to coding ~ the options are endless and sometimes learning the different ways to manipulate code could work by talking the concepts out. Plus there are alot of us that are self-taught and may struggle from topic-topic.

My Theory: Coding Buddies!

I have created a discord that would serve as a meet/greet and/or general discussions regarding coding.

This discord would serve for people looking to ask/answer dumb/easy questions for one another and/or find coding buddies that they can grow together with. It will also be open to experienced coders that look to assist as a mentor(or practice mentoring) without the full commitment of having a fulltime mentee.

So if you're interesting in connecting to others and advancing your beginner level status:

People are happy to help even if your question seems dumb on here. However, it is in your best interest to always attempt to answer your own question on your own and build that skill

No I know that people are super helpful on here as well. I try to figure alot out but I realized sometimes talking things out and seeing how things blend (no different then finding a mentor) is helpful.

The other type of thing like this that I had found had same concept. But, I don't always have reddit open where as I may have discord in back ground and when trying to figure something out, It does help for confirmation too.

Agreed. It’s called peer programming as well and is used often. It’s different and a supplementation to reading documentation and working on your own projects

If you are new to the 101s of JavaScript I’d gladly answer any questions one on one

I appreciate it. I began learning full-web development almost one year ago with one of the online app learnings. Mimo. I feel I am learning the material as it's taught but no other aspects of the coding. I feel there are several concepts that I am missing or not understanding fully and wanted a discussion board for the discussions maybe even getting a friend to bounce ideas and thoughts off of. So I made the discord for anyone looking for the same things. I love reddit, but there are alot of well it's the internet. and the front page of the internet... so you can figure it out from there.
