Accountability Partner Required | Company Switch in next 4-5 months

1 Upvotes

Hi, I am 24M, software engineer, working in a service based company in Gurgaon. Desparately want to make a switch in next 4-5 months. It has been close to 3 years I have been working in my company as a frontend developer (tech stack: ReactJS, React Native, NextJS).

I want to make a switch to some product based company.

Looking for a serious accountability partner as ambitious and desperate as me. I just want that we ask each other atleast once a day that- did we worked today towards our goal, no matter 1%, 2%, 50%, or 99%, or did we just even crawled towards it ? That's enough. Apart from this I am open to all help and resource sharing.

Just little bit more about me: I feel I have ADHD (not sure, not diagnosed either). I believe in astrology (thanks to one of my friend for making me believe in it). "Rahu" dearly loves me becuase of which I keep thinking and never do what needs to be done. Maybe we body double and help each other to get what we dream of.

I don't want to create a group. Just 1-2 people who are really dying like me would be great to connect. I'll try to reply asap to your responses.

If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, drop a comment or DM me. I'm happy to connect!

Thanks for reading. 🙂

Looking for a DSA study buddy in Noida, India (in-person)

1 Upvotes

Hey! I'm a Python dev with around 3 years of experience, currently working from home.

I've been wanting to get serious about DSA for a job switch, but I struggle with studying consistently on my own. I tend to get distracted at home and end up not putting in as much focused effort as I'd like to.

Looking for someone who's in a similar boat and wants to get serious about DSA too. Not looking for a tutor or someone to teach, just someone to sit and study with so we can keep each other accountable.

The idea is pretty simple: sit together for a couple of hours, solve our own problems, and maybe discuss what we got stuck on or learnt afterwards. I've studied DSA before, so I'm not starting from scratch. I just think having someone study alongside me would make it much easier to stay consistent.

I'd prefer studying in person, maybe at a coworking space or some other quiet place nearby. Since I already work from home all day, getting out of the house to study would be nice too.

Timing-wise, weekday evenings after 7 pm work for me, and I'm flexible on weekends, especially mornings.

I stay near Sector 104, Noida, so someone nearby would be ideal. If you're in a similar situation and this sounds good to you, feel free to DM me! :)

LOOKING FOR BUDDIES Anyone want to study Operating Systems or System Programming together?

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I'm a Computer Science student in Italy, looking for someone to study and work through exercises with. I'm in the Italy time zone (UTC+1, CET/CEST) and have a flexible schedule, so we can arrange study sessions depending on our availability.

I can communicate in English, so language shouldn't be a problem!

I'm currently studying concurrent programming in Python, and I'm also covering Bash and Perl scripting, although the scripting part doesn't have to overlap. I'm at the university-study stage and looking to strengthen my understanding through practical exercises and discussion.

If you're studying Computer Science or Computer Engineering, you may have come across similar topics in courses such as Advanced Systems Programming at the University of Denver or Concurrent & Distributed Systems at George Mason University, or you might simply be interested in these topics for personal learning.

I'd love to compare solutions, discuss tricky concepts, and help each other understand the material better. We don't need to follow the exact same syllabus or be at the same stage, as long as we have some topics in common.

My goal is to find a study buddy with whom I can regularly practise, exchange ideas, and work through challenging exercises. If you're interested, feel free to comment below or send me a Reddit chat message!

LOOKING FOR BUDDIES Looking for fellow humans

7 Upvotes

Started making small projects again in a variety of languages and stacks. Although, I don't have anyone to talk with about ideas.

I'm currently looking for other people to start a group. The members do not need a strict routine for programming, rather an interest in creating. Like a chill place to talk about ideas and share stuff with others.

Personally, ai is a big no, I hate ai, its slop, and every modern web browser has a built in search ai now. I do not enjoy the trajectory ai is heading, especially how fast people can take others ideas and just get a clone.

I'd like to keep the group small, if you would like to join and you are: chill about coding, want to make something creative, or looking for others to rift ideas. Dm me.

I'm not against the use of ai, but if you use it more heavily than a quick search, no thank you.

Edit: This post was not intended for the creation or development of a project. I'm unsure why the post feels as if I am offering to start a "ideating" with a shared "escrow contract". To clear up, I just want to talk with other people about coding projects and/or organize a project together at a later time.

NEED A TEAM Building a Serious Long-Term Software Project – Recruiting Dedicated Developers

0 Upvotes

Hey hey hey

I'm a second-year Computer Science student looking to assemble a small, dedicated team of developers to work on an ambitious, long-term software project.

I've been programming primarily in Java and have experience with data structures, algorithms, and software development. I've worked on individual projects, but now I want to build something significantly bigger with a team of people who take development seriously.

I'm looking for

  • Developers with a solid understanding of at least one programming language.
  • People who are passionate about programming and problem-solving.
  • Individuals who can collaborate, communicate clearly, and take responsibility for their work.
  • Developers who can consistently dedicate some time each week.
  • People interested in long-term collaboration rather than joining for a few days and disappearing.

You don't need to be a professional developer or have years of experience. What matters is your ability, motivation, and willingness to contribute.

Send me a DM containing:

  • Your programming languages and technologies.
  • Your experience level.
  • How many hours per week you could realistically contribute.
  • What interests you about joining a team like this.

I'm hoping to meet developers who want to go beyond basic projects and build something substantial together.

Looking forward to hearing from you !

LOOKING FOR BUDDIES I want to learn, any projects?

2 Upvotes

Hi guys!

I am a CS student that just wants to learn and gain more practical experience.

Experience and languages:
I have done smaller projects like a portfolio website with HTML and CSS and a data analysis project with Python. I would say I have a beginner to intermediate level in Python, beginner in HTML and CSS and SQL. I learned Scala in the past but would say I forgot most of it by now.

My goals:
My goal is to learn how to really code and build projects, I feel like during my studies I missed that part. I am willing to learn and participate in projects. I would love to join a beginner-friendly project with people that are open to collaborate. I really want to learn and grow.

This is really out of my comfort zone but if you are interested just text me what kind of projects you are working on, I am looking foraward to work with you :)

Looking for ONE accountability partner for SDE 2 prep (Java backend)

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'm preparing for a job switch, targeting SDE 2 / Software Engineer II roles, and looking for one serious accountability partner to prepare alongside me.

Topics I'm focusing on:

  • DSA (LeetCode)
  • LLD and HLD
  • Core Java and Spring Boot
  • Projects
  • AI / AI-assisted development

For context, I have 4 YOE as a Java backend developer, working in a bank. DSA is currently one of my weaker areas, with around 90 LeetCode problems solved so far.

What I'd like us to do:

  • Set study targets and track daily/weekly progress.
  • Keep each other accountable.
  • Discuss DSA problems, interview topics, and system design.
  • Conduct mock interviews and give each other feedback.
  • Share useful resources and preparation strategies.

I'm looking for just ONE study partner, not a group. Ideally, someone targeting similar roles who's at a similar or more advanced stage of preparation and is serious about making consistent progress.

If you're interested, DM me with a little about your experience, preparation level, and target roles!

Looking for a project partner for pywebview app

Hey, im working on a beginner project in pywebview called Playstyle II which is a very simple football game simulation interface. The stack is Python HTML CSS JS sqlite3. Just looking to develop experience working with someone, im pretty early in the project i have only the transfer market interface down.

You don't really need to understand football for it since its ui based. Im beginner to very early intermediate level so I'm looking for someone around a similar level.

For alignment purposes it would be good to have us both in a similar timezone so preferably in europe.

Here is the github, if you're interested please dm me (i code very messily lol):

Anyone else tired of starting projects alone? Let's build something together!

Hey everyone!

I'm just a guy from Italy who's really passionate about IT. I'm about to start my first job as a help desk technician, and I've always wanted to create something useful from scratch.

The problem is that whenever I think about starting a project on my own, it eventually feels too big or overwhelming, and I end up not knowing where to begin.

So I thought, why not find a few people who feel the same way?

We live in a pretty amazing time. Almost everyone has access to a computer, the internet, AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude, GitHub, and cloud services. There's so much we could potentially create, even without years of experience.

I don't have a specific project in mind yet, and that's actually the point.

It could be an app, a website, a cybersecurity tool, an open-source project, or something completely different. I'd love to find a small group of people who want to brainstorm ideas, learn from each other, share responsibilities, and actually build something together.

I'm not an expert, and I'm not looking for experts to do the work for me. I'm just someone who enjoys technology and wants to turn that passion into something real.

Of course, it would be amazing to have people with some experience who enjoy sharing their knowledge, but beginners are just as welcome. I'm still learning myself, and I think we could all help each other grow.

I'm not trying to lead a team or tell anyone what to do. I'd like this to be a group of equals, where everyone can contribute ideas, make decisions, and learn along the way.

Maybe we could start by getting to know each other here on Reddit, sharing ideas, and seeing where things go. Nothing too formal.

My main goal is simple: gain practical experience, improve our skills, build things we can proudly add to our portfolios, and hopefully make some friends along the way.

And who knows? Maybe we'll end up creating something genuinely useful.

I think building something with other people would be a lot more motivating than trying to figure everything out alone.

If this sounds interesting to you, leave a comment! I'd love to hear what you're learning, what interests you, or what you've always wanted to build but never got around to starting.

Let's build something. :)
