Looking for a work friend!

Hi! I’m a data analytics guy for 4 years. I have been doing lots of work writing SQL, building dashboards. For analytics work, I always have a question in my mind and that is: am I using the right method to approach to the solution? So often times, when anyone questions my work, I don’t have the confidence to defend myself.

So I want to find a analytics friend on the same YOE who also is willing to share analytics experiences from different backgrounds. I have a lot of questions and wanted to chat and discuss together. Areas I want to chat: analytics method and communication method. We can grow together in the analytics field.

Looking for Lifelong Friends and Partners in Tech!

Hi everyone,
My name is Collins, I’m a 20-year-old self-taught programmer from Kenya with a background in law. I’m deeply passionate about technology and its potential to create meaningful change, especially in areas like AI, healthcare, and beyond.

I’ve had some experience in hackathons, including reaching the semifinals in my most recent one, and I’m always looking to improve and grow in this space. But my dream goes far beyond just one event—I’m looking to build a team of like-minded individuals who want to learn, grow, and innovate together. Ideally, I’d love to connect with people who are:

  • Curious and eager to learn, even if you’re just starting out.
  • Open-minded, flexible, and passionate about creating something impactful.
  • Dreaming of building something bigger—perhaps even a startup someday.

You don’t need to be an expert; all I ask is a willingness to learn, collaborate, and stick together for the long haul. If you’re an introvert like me, you know how rare it is to find the right crew, but I’m hopeful we can build a space where everyone feels valued and empowered.

If this resonates with you, please feel free to reach out—I’d love to chat and see if we can work together. Let’s start something incredible!

Looking forward to meeting you.😊

Seeking a Developer for a Discord Bot Project in Rust or C++

I am currently looking for a developer interested in collaborating on creating a Discord bot using C++ or Rust. However, if you’re considering contributing briefly and then abandoning the project, I kindly ask that you refrain from reaching out. My ideal collaborator is someone who values consistency—even if it’s just a single commit over a few days.

You don’t need to contribute daily, but I hope to avoid working with individuals who are enthusiastic for the first few days only to disappear entirely afterward. Personally, I have extensive experience with C and have been working with C++ and Rust since February 9, 2023. The specific features we’ll implement can be discussed and decided together.

If you’re interested, please send me a message with your country (for time zone reference) and your experience with C++ or Rust. Alternatively, you can comment here. (I am based in South Korea.)

Communication can take place via Telegram or Discord, and I’m fluent in Korean, Russian, and English, with beginner-level Ukrainian. If you’d like to review my work, you can check out my GitHub here: urdekcah.

I create videos about topics you are interested in

Hey, i recently started to record videos on topics that are interested to new people comming to Webdev and Backend development in general. What topics do you want to know more about? Let me know and I will record it for you. This is way more scalable then doing private sessions with just a few people.

Just leave a message and I will send you a link to the video when it is done

Looking for a Co-Partner to Build an App Together.

Hey everyone, I’m on the lookout for a motivated and like-minded individual to collaborate on building an application. The idea is still in its early stages, so this would be a ground-up partnership where we can brainstorm, develop, and bring the project to life together.

Simple Project Explanation: The project is a platform where users can create an account, then create their own custom website based on predesigned templates. Features include uploading logos, customizing color themes from pre-made options, adding product descriptions and images, and enabling transactions through Stripe.

Tech Stack: Here’s what I’m thinking for the stack: • Frontend: React Native, Angular • Backend: Python (Flask, Django) • Cloud Infrastructure: AWS • Other Tools: JavaScript, MySQL/PostgreSQL If you’re skilled in any of these or have complementary skills, I’d love to connect.

About Me: I’m passionate about technology and entrepreneurship, and I’m ready to put in the work to make this app a reality. I’d love to find someone who’s equally driven and excited to collaborate.

About You: • Experience (or interest) in one or more of the technologies above. • A team player who’s open to bouncing around ideas and working through challenges. • Ideally, someone who’s comfortable splitting tasks between frontend, backend, and deployment.

If this sounds like something you’d like to be a part of, feel free to DM me or drop a comment here. Let’s chat and see if we’re a good fit!

Frontend Deep Dive Buddy Needed (Reinventing the wheels)

Game changer disclaimer ->

!I don't speak English clearly. However I could read and write (with help of ai) in it, speak with me would require a lot of patience, because I haven't enough practice for that kind of things.!<

Reading docs of endless amount of frontend libs to figure out what new abstract layer they provide me this day, designing and implementing pet projects, leetcoding and working are without any doubt very fun, but this is not enough for me to feel happy. Thus, I decided to go into source codes and starting reinventing the wheels just to start understanding what are modern frontend tools really are, not how they present themselves.

My goals on 2025 would be understand sources and write some clones of these libs:
- react. Maybe also preact and solidJS for comparisons.
- babel
- rollup, vite
- redux, react-redux
- rxJs, redux-observables
- mobx, zustand
- react-virtuoso

I've already started my way (redux sources are easy for example) and understand that reading and trying to catch all located code there is not necessary. They are all enterprise tools, used in production. Thus they swell of features and legacy with the time. For example, react is monorepo where located several packages. Some of them is interesting for me, like scheduler, react-reconciliation, react-dom and react-dom-bindings. But implementation of react-native is not.

So I'm in search for people who can share my interests. Internet have everything I need to complete my goals, but communication can boost my understanding and productivity level on new horizons.

Join my Game Project! No? Ok 😔

Hey there, I am looking for someone or multiple people to collaborate on a web based game with. I am a senior dev from Switzerland with a versatile skillset. If you are as passionate about building cool stuff as I am and either a great thinker, designer and or an experienced engineer, just write a comment and I will pm you. Thanks.

Stack suggestion:

  • NextJS with Tailwind and Shadcn

  • Azure (.Net Core, App, SignalR Service)
  • DB (not required for MVP)
  • IaC with Terraform

I'm a private teacher for beginner programming and I'll help you learn coding in a fun and useful way!

Hi everyone,

My name's Antonio and I am a private coding tutor/teacher. I know firsthand how hard it can be to teach yourself coding with any help, so around a year ago I started teaching teenagers and adults in my local area how to code. Now I want to start training more people so I decided to post here! I teach in English and german and you'll receive full guidance. This means taking most of the work away from you by guiding you through the concepts and teaching you the stuff you actually need.

I’ve been programming for over 5 years, specializing in Python and web development. My goal is to make learning fun, accessible, and beginner-friendly. My teaching consist of:

  1. Python Basics: Learn the core programming concepts like variables, loops, functions, and learn how to build your first interactive project.
  2. Web Development: Dive into building websites with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and explore frameworks like Flask or React.
  3. Personalized Guidance: I’ll adapt to your pace and goals—whether it’s a project you want to build or concepts you’re struggling with.

If you’re interested, just comment below or DM me, and we can discuss how to start!

TERRA-TACTICA: A Top Down, Turn-Based, Sandbox, Strategy Game [Rev-Share]

Hello!

I am one of the Lead Developers on TERRA-TACTICA. We have been developing for seven months and have come a long way since our initial framework. We have created an in-house graphics engine and are building our 0.0.2 update, the first update that goes out to our play-testers and runs on our engine! Our game has elements of Civilization for the core gameplay. Still, we have entirely changed the significant things that make it our own: the Age of Empires for City/Building Management and Stellaris' Diplomacy.

We are looking for dedicated developers who want to join the team and stay to see the project through. We are very community-driven, regularly seek community input, and are genuinely looking to build a game that is fun to play and allows people to lose hours again. We are a very proactive team, tackling problems as they come at us. We do not see walls; where we do, we break through them or find a way around them; we want developers with the same energy. We do not want someone who cares about the money; it isn't something we as a team talk about at all (speaking of the team, there are 10 of us: seven developers (2 seniors, two lead), two artists, me)

We are not offering any micro-transactions; we are even going as far as giving our Alpha and Beta for free; we are only planning on charging once we have a proper game to charge for (we will be accepting donations once we launch the alpha as we will be crowdfunding through Steam). For any player donations, we plan to give a Steam Inventory item that is a collectible that is only useable in the game for the player's Banner and provides 0 gameplay advantages (still under development). This item will be tradeable on the Steam Market for players to trade and collect. There will be a wide range of free Banner items. The ones from donations will be little novelties as a thank you for supporting us.

In terms of game development, we spent a few months researching and developing our graphics engine, the Terra Graphics Engine. We are running our game on the engine, which is the 0.0.2 update; as mentioned before, this update will be the first one we pipe to our play-testers so they can provide us feedback and guidance on how systems feel.

Most of us use Pycharm; others use VS-Code. We track tasks on our GitHub Project Page.

Requirements

  • A strong knowledge of Python
  • Ability to think outside of the box.

You can find our discord here: https://discord.gg/At9txQQxQX or on our website here: terra-tactica.com

Looking for friends to create a free bootcamp

Hello, I'm a senior engineer with experience in programming. I want to create a static bootcamp well made with content maintained by a community. I have set-up a website with domain name and simplistic structure. Is easy to maintain using just html and css. Some JavaScript but not much on first page.

This bootcamp do not require subscription or registration because is targeting anonymous beginners in tech who probably do not have any money yet. Best developers will be invited to work as freelancers. We initiate open source projects and SaaS services.

If you are interested to join this free bootcamp, to learn with us and participate to improve our content, then send me DM, or check my profile for links. I look forward to have a signal from you. This message was created by hand not with AI so it may contain errors because I have learned English from IT books.

Good luck. Learn and prosper.
