Looking for a coding partner that helps me stay consistent

Hello everyone, as the title says I am having a little trouble staying consistent when coding and I feel that having a rival/friend would help me to constantly improve myself. I currently know some python and c++ but I am kinda without direction, like I dont even know what to code anymore lol so with a friend we could probably share ideas and stuff! I think it would be interesting! Even cooler if I find more than one people and maybe we can make a discord server and stuff, share internships, advice, etc.

[L]Just need someone to vent a little

I am okay, I just need to talk because my mind is honestly a mess right now. I just want to let it at all out and honestly any help would be highly appreciated, I want some genuine connection and not just a script like the hotlines give :/.

Hello, so for some context, I'm a second-year computer science student, and I really love coding; it feels like my thing. I'm also genuinely interested in space, science in general, etc., etc.

The problem I'm having is that I'm constantly stressing over my future unemployment due to the lack of any relevant projects on my GitHub, for example, and it isn't that I don't want to code; it's more that most of the time I'm already studying for university really hard, so when I do have a little spare time, all I want to do is play video games to relax myself, not break my head over coding. This has been a real source of stress for me, because I love this field and I know that the market is really hard currently, and (from what I've been told) unless you're a remarkable coder, you'll have a hard time finding a decent job. I just need advice on this, or just to know if maybe I'm just breaking my head over nothing and everything will be fine.

Everyone in uni seems to already have a LinkedIn and cool things going on, and I simply have nothing, and I feel horrible because of it. It feels like I won't achieve anything.

Any advice is appreciated.
