I wish I could do this. I don't know any coders in real life. I guess that's what I get for being the programmer at an art school.

- ziadbc 15y agoFinding the right peer group at first can be rough. One point I made in the post that should be underscored is being 'the first follower.' If you scour your town enough, there is probably someone who is looking to get started. I recommend going with their plan first. People in the doers group I've met through meetup.com, other friends, and other networking groups. If you stick around long enough, you'll find the right people.
- HedgeMage 15y agoI feel for you. In college I was the lone CS major living in the fine arts dorm! When I did try to get a group together (no reason they can't work on sketches or whatever while I code, right) it always descended into me trying to help people with their homework.
- proexploit 15y agoI think a virtual one sounds reasonable. It might not be the exact same effect as in person but I imagine it would still be motivating. I'm also in an area without many nearby programmers so shoot me an email if you're interested in giving it a go.
