I've been doing this for the past 3 years or so: https://sonnet.io/posts/hi https://sonnet.io/posts/hi TL;DR Everyone can book a call with me to talk about their ideas, hang out, pair program or just rant. Details: I've had 130-50 calls so far, met a tonne of fascinating and kind people. None of the people I've met in this manner were mean or snarky -- on the contrary, it's just a bunch of beautiful weirdos. Sometimes I get people asking me for advice, needing help with a technical (or product-related) problem. Sometimes we pair. Sometimes people call me to rant, and that's fine too! The range of people is relatively broad, here's a semi-random sample: a homeless software engineer who built a famous site I used 15 years ago, some students, some founders, one or two FAANG engineering managers, a writer, some musicians, photographers. I can only recommend keeping a slot in your calendar open for this kind of interactions. The depth of connection/quality of discussions is just so, so much better than HN/social media! If you'd like to learn more about this, let me know! I'm trying to write an article about this, and could use a kick in the butt to stop procrastinating :)
