Hi guys,
Crazy idea. I see a lot of posts from people who struggle to find a real project or good problem after getting to intermediate Python level and completing several of the established courses.
Myself, I’m in a similar situation. In my 30’s, with an already established career as non-dev in the tech domain, who wants to develop some solid coding/developer skills and doesn’t have opportunities to apply this stuff in real-time development. Let’s be honest – I’m not dropping out from what I’m doing for a living anytime soon, but would still love to build competency in coding and get more and more skilled in this area in my free time.
I’m thinking – why not get together and work on something as a group? It’s usually really hard to come up with your own idea and the whole solution on your own, whilst this could be a great motivator and opportunity to meet some like-minded people at similar stages in their journey, which could prove useful any time in the future even if this is just for fun and doesn’t necessarily work out as a full-fledged app or project.
I already have an idea for building a solution for summarising and dissecting podcasts using AI tools and have a rough outline of how I would like to build it. Speaking frankly, I think I have a decent vision of where I want this to go and what is my itch, but with limited time on my hands and other commitments it would be just a huge amount of work for a first bigger project and I would prefer to iterate faster and bring in someone else to contribute as well (better together). It would also make me more accountable if I have someone else working on this alongside me.
I hope this is not too much of an offtopic in this sub. If you’re reading this and you feel like this is something interesting for you, please shoot me a DM and we can check if we vibe and have similar expectations. I hope it’s obvious – I don’t offer any remuneration for this and don’t expect this to become a start-up or for profit. It’s either for someone who feels like they are already somewhere with their skills but lack project idea / real life application or someone who already brings dev experience and is still enthusiastic to work on stuff on the side for fun of building something and meeting new people.
Let’s see how this goes? Happy Xmas to you all!
