Hi, I'm a CS student from Taiwan looking for a buddy or a small team to study and stay motivated with over the summer.
About me:
• Know some Python and C++.
• Currently taking Data Structures and learning HTML/CSS on the side.
• No hackathon experience yet, but looking to build up skills.
Goals:
• Keep each other accountable for Data Structures & basic coding practice.
• Build simple web projects to practice HTML/CSS.
• Maybe team up for hackathons later if we click.
Looking for anyone who's also learning frontend or core CS topics and wants to stay motivated. Beginners welcome, just looking for people who are communicative and active.

I don't have experience since this is my first project, im available all day, i have knowledge of python and other non programming tools but relevant to a game development. If we get along i can share what has been done so far. The engine is Unity and the game is a dark fantasy rpg. We already have a programmer, 2 2d artists a 3d artist and a musician

See I am a student for BTech AIML second year and currently I had learned and learning different languages. For now I didn't participated in any events and hackthone but wanted to.

The languages I know are :- python, c, c++, java(I think I am good at python and c++)

So for now I don't know what to build ,how to build and I can I be more efficient so I just want to start participating in different events and hackthone with a team and also want a proper guidance and tip and tricks🙌for......

I'm currently working at a laundry, i do not enjoy it but i guess i try to do motivating things like attempt to learn linux, html, python etc. I am trying to get more involved with learning I,T related stuff, been using computers since a kid. I do get into a bit of music making like Fruity loops, very occasional tho. An interest to learn how to make models on blender, I do have mild ADHD so sometimes i get thrown of learning and keeping to a consistent routine to just STICK to something, i wasted a-lot of time in the past and i just want to meet good peers, and motivating people. Even somebody who is similar to me in a way, thanks.

I'm actually from Oceania (Aus,Nz) timezone, there was no option to choose Oceania, aus and nz don't make good groups like this, guess only overseas they do it.

I am an iit grad 2025. I have a startup. I have worked on it for a year. Thinking of looking for a job. I have done leetcode in my 3rd and final year. For the last 6 months I got a break from leetcode. I was pretty good earlier, completing most of the striver sheet. I want to start grinding LeetCode again. I am finding difficulty over maintaining consistency. I am looking for a partner who is above average in dsa and wants to be an accountability partner. We can solve problems and track each other. I live in Bangalore, Koramangala. If someone is in Bangalore we can even code in a cafe too. I am open to being friends too. Apart from DSA, I am learning the MERN stack too for the interviews and projects. We can do projects together and make a portfolio too. Text me who is serious about doing this. I prefer 2025 or even before grads. Thank you. We can discuss if you have any further queries.

Timezone: EST/EDT

Hi everyone,

I have learned the basics of Java and OOP and I am looking for a study partner who's interested in learning Spring Boot and building small projects together.

I work full time, so I can't dedicate hours every day to studying. I'm hoping to find someone with a similar schedule who wants to stay accountable, share resources, work through problems together, and check in regularly on progress.

Ideally, your skill level matches mine and you are in EST timezone or nearby timezone, so it is easier to connect.

Hey everyone,

I'm currently learning and developing a dark fantasy RPG using Raylib and C/C++ and I'm looking for another programmer interested in working together on game development.

The goal isn't to "hire" anyone or assign tasks, but to collaborate, learn, share ideas, and build something interesting as a team.

Current interests include:

- C/C++

- Raylib

- Gameplay programming

- Game systems

- RPG mechanics

- Tool development

The project itself is a dark fantasy RPG, but at this stage I'm mainly looking for someone who enjoys programming and would be interested in working on game-related systems together.

Experience level doesn't matter too much as long as you're motivated and interested in C/C++ game development.

Feel free to leave a comment or send me a DM if this sounds interesting.

Timezone : GMT + 5:30 ( IST)

Preferable time : 9 to 10 pm on weekdays ( flexible on weekends)

I work in noida. We can connect on Gmeet or zoom and study for 1 hour on call at 9 or 10 pm IST after the office that way we follow a routine.

Office work includes: legacy c++ bug fixes, c development , linux shell scripting and some SQL.

We can share interview experience and questions/ resources .

We can solve 1 question from some sheet (a-z striver maybe) then study something else too.

Apply jobs in the daytime and study at night

Right now I'm following scott meyers book to learn c++ , I am open to suggestions as well.

Main goal : get a job in product based company with c++.

Let me know if I am missing something we can discuss.

Side note: bakchodi bhi krta hu sirf English nhi bolta

I live in Czechia I speak English and Czech I'm not expirenced at all so i need someone to teach me and become my friend my goal is to one day make my own Operating System called RAPID OS or RAPIDOS

Hey, I am not sure if this is the right sub for this. I have been working as a software engineer at a company for the last 3 years, react, JavaScript, Shopify Apps, etc. Due to working with the same projects, I think I am scoped and really need to develop some more skills. So I made a 6 month plan to learn new skills and make a real life project. But I need an accountability partner for this. You could be from the same industry. Better for me if you are a friendly senior or if not, I am okay with juniors too.

I am an introvert to start but once I get comfortable, I'm pretty comfy! I can share real life job experiences too.

Male or female, both are welcome.

hi everyone

I'm looking for passionate people who want to build games together. Experience doesn't matter we can learn along the way the plan is to start with small projects, grow as a team, and eventually work on bigger and more ambitious games. If you're into game development (programming, art, design, music, writing, or anything else), send me a DM or leave a comment

Hello,

Long story short, I am looking for ways to boost my CV as a Software Engineering student.

An idea that came through my mind was to develop a Roblox game, given the high demand and slightly lower requirements compared to other game projects. Especially now with AI slop being shipped everywhere, I believe that a robust game has the potential to gain a significant number of players/visitors, which will look appealing in the eyes of employers looking to hire juniors.

It is difficult to build a big project alone, especially as a beginner, so I want to gather a small team of people who are in the same position as me. So if you want to build a Roblox game together this summer DM me and I will answer your questions.

My only requirements are:

\-Be 18 or over

\-Have a similar level of experience as me. Somebody with experience would do all the work while the others are learning or doing nothing so I want everybody to be at the same level so we can learn and build together. I finished first year at uni and have done about 150 LeetCode questions so I am not that experienced.

\-Know the basics of GitHub. We will collaborate on GitHub to make development easier and show our progress to future employers

\-Live in an area closer to UTC+0 time zone to make communication easier.

\-Use AI as a tool rather than just copying code without understanding it

Note to Moderators:

This is a not a job posting or advertisement. I am simply an university student looking to build something deployable with other people. Once I gain a decent number of people I will delete the post if necessary.

Ask me questions.

Hi everyone,

I'm an IIT student studying machine learning and its applications.

my goal over the next 12-18 months is to build strong expertise in Machine Learning/ Deep Learning. I am looking for a serious and consistent study partner who is aiming for ML/DL too.

We can follow courses together (Andrew Ng, CS224W), discuss papers, work on projects, solve ML interview questions, keep each other accountable, share resources and progress updates.

My target timeline is to prepare for internships/PPOs and industry ML roles by 2027.

If you're genuinely committed to learning ML/DL and building a strong portfolio, feel free to comment or DM with: Your background, current skill level, learning goals, time commitment per week.

Let's build something meaningful together.

Weekend/ Eastern time/ beginner in programming.

Hello, I am a student looking for a mentor who has a passion to teach. I have a strong will and curiosity to learn. Please inbox me for more information and if interested.

Thank you.
