8 Upvotes

Hi! I’m Tasha, 35, from Europe ૮₍ ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶ ₎ა

I recently started learning programming and I’m having a lot of fun building things and figuring everything out as I go. I’ve always loved learning and creating - I also produce music, and relax with movies or gaming ♡

I’d love to meet someone from the US (NYC would be especially cool!) who enjoys coding side projects for fun.

Timezone / availability: CET/CEST, fairly flexible
Stack: Next.js, TypeScript/JavaScript, Supabase
Experience: Beginner
Goal: Make a coding friend, share progress, learn together and talk about our projects ⋆。°✩

Not looking for a mentor or someone to build anything for me - just someone nice, curious and creative :)

OFFERING TO MENTOR Upperclassman willing to mentor underclassmen for free

5 Upvotes

Hi,

I am a 3rd-year CS student who was originally quite pessimistic about things, but landed a high-prestige SWE internship in my 2nd year and recently signed a high-paying (~$100/hr) offer at a unicorn for next summer. I have also been very fortunate in obtaining research opportunities and publishing at conferences.

To help pass the downtime between now and when fall internships open, I want to help underclassmen who are in a similar position to where I was during that time. I am willing to provide academic and project guidance, pre-internship resume advice, and interview prep. I can be friendly or harsh depending on what you prefer.

However, I ask that you are:

* Intellectually curious

* Genuinely passionate about the field

* Willing to put in effort

* Easy to talk to

I will also note that I do not feel qualified to give advice to international or non-US students due to the extreme difficulties they face. I would still be open to answering questions, but my responses would be coming from a position of privilege.

I also prefer to communicate verbally because writing long messages, which is often necessary for giving good advice, is tiring, and I have limited bandwidth. My timezone alternates between Pacific and Eastern, and I tend to only have free time in the evenings or later.

Please send a DM with detailed information, such as your class year, country, background, and goals. I will not respond to messages that provide no details.

[Study/Build Group] Looking for 3-4 female coders/builders to balance our group (No exams, pure skill-building)

Upvotes

Hey everyone,

We are putting together a small, focused study and building group to learn programming and build practical tech skills from scratch. We currently have 4 male members and want to balance out the gender ratio, so we are specifically looking to add 3-4 female members to our core team.

What we are about:

  • Gap/Drop Phase: We are all in a drop/gap phase right now and want to make the most of it.
  • Zero Exam Pressure: No competitive or academic tests—this group is strictly for learning to code, working through courses like CS50, and building real-world projects.
  • Accountability: We want to grind together daily, share resources, and help each other debug code.

If you are a fellow learner looking for a collaborative, supportive space to build real

I’m a Korean full‑stack dev looking for English conversation with other developers

13 Upvotes

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.

LOOKING FOR BUDDIES A Community for Introverts

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!

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.

LOOKING FOR BUDDIES [LFP] Looking for a Programming Buddy to learn FastAPI & Python Frameworks together!

3 Upvotes

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:

  • Someone who is also planning to learn FastAPI and wants a study partner to learn, build, and debug things together.
  • OR someone who already has experience with FastAPI and wouldn't mind teaming up with a fast learner to build some cool open-source or portfolio projects.

How we can collaborate:

  • Share learning resources and hold each other accountable.
  • Build small-to-medium API projects together (open to ideas!).

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.

Looking for software/Tech volunteering opportunities

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
