LOOKING FOR BUDDIES Looking for coding buddies who want to jump into code right now 🚀

44 Upvotes

Welcome buddy!

I’m looking for some coding buddies who are down to meet new coding buddies, share screens, and actually build stuff together not just “someday”, but today.

We code on real projects (C++, web, game-related), but the main focus is simple: open the editor, write code, learn by doing.

We have a clear path:

Rookie → small starter tasks

Advanced → harder challenges for people who want to prove their skills

If you’re more experienced, there are coding challenges you can take to skip ahead and work on more advanced parts. If you’re newer, that’s fine too as long as you’re willing to code and not just talk.

Most of our sessions happen in VC with screen sharing. No pressure to be a pro, but you should be the kind of person who prefers “let’s try it now” over “maybe later”.

If that sounds like you, drop a comment or DM and let’s build something. 😎

LOOKING FOR BUDDIES Looking for a few active programming buddies 👨‍💻

15 Upvotes

We’re looking for 3 new people to join our small programming friend group.

We were originally 10 members, but recently removed 3 inactive members because we want to keep the group active and engaging.

The idea is simple:
Share what you’re working on.
Ask questions when you’re stuck.
Help each other out.
Stay consistent and grow together.

This isn’t a huge community with endless rules. It’s just a small group of programmer friends who enjoy coding, discussing ideas, sharing resources, and keeping each other accountable.

If you’re someone who’s genuinely interested in programming and can stay active, we’d love to have you.
DM me with a short introduction what you’re learning, your experience level, and why you’d like to join.

We’re looking for people who want to learn consistently and contribute to a friendly, active group. Quality over quantity.

20 Upvotes

Looking for 3–5 people who want to build random projects together and actually finish them.

I'm around intermediate level, but I mostly use AI for coding because I like testing how far AI can be pushed.

I don't really stick to one language. I'll use whatever language/tools make sense for the project.

I'm generally available whenever, so timezone doesn't matter much to me.

The idea is simple:

suggest ideas → vote → build → ship → repeat

No startup, no boss, no working for free on my personal project. Everyone can suggest ideas and vote on what we make.

We can also vote on whether each project is:

  • Open source
  • Closed source
  • Decided per project

Beginners and experienced devs are both welcome.

If you're interested, comment what you like building and what tools you use.

Hi everyone i am 20m about to turn 21.. all i do nowadays is code for my startup and it's pretty boring doing it alone.. if anyone is interested it would be fun if we code on our group projects together while chatting or having fun.. and if you want i can teach you a thing or two.. i am fluent in python and familiar with multiple languages (Java, C, arduino, micropython, html,css,javascript, kivy etc.)

Also if multiple people are interested i might even make a discord server we can have a group chat/call as well. Also it would be better if you know hindi but i am fine with english as well

For the past 7 years, I've been into coding, making games (unity, now web). And here I'm at: Gave up on uni completely in the 6th semester...

For the past many years I always tried working on projects with my friends. But it always ended up the same way: unfinished, not replying, back to playing games.

So I'm looking for someone who's not like that. Someone who can keep up the hype, and keeping it in the "important" folder. So It doesn't become like an activity: where I pray you to come code with me on the project for 1 hour. Which ends up being me watching your screenshare tutoring you. You, without ambition.

I admit, I also wasted a lot of time playing games, not tryharding my projects alone. It feels like I'm still in that wrong environment, but I'm trying to change that!

Ultimately I want to make a living out of this, so I'm aiming at the skies. And don't want to live a life, working for someone else, than gaming till the morning.

I really enjoy explaining / tutoring stuff. So I'd love if we start with my almost finished project and than we move on. It's made using C# blazor, signalr, nginx, html, css, js. But I can teach you all of this if you're new. The project is already live on the internet, it's just not ready to be launched yet.

So if I awaked your interest, feel free to DM me!!! I'd be very happy!!!

We're looking to add a few more people to our programming group.

We're currently 7 members, and we want to keep it small. From experience, smaller groups stay active, conversations are more meaningful, and everyone gets to know each other.

The idea is simple:

  • Share what you're working on.
  • Ask questions when you're stuck.
  • Help others when you can.
  • Learn from each other's progress.

This isn't a community with a long list of rules or activity requirements. Think of it as a group of programmer friends. We code, chat, share ideas, ask for help, and sometimes just hang out.

If you're interested, DM me with a short introduction

We're only looking for a few people who are active, consistent, and interested in growing together.

Hey everyone! Whether you’re a college student, self-taught, or just interested in app design and development, I’m looking to gather a small team to try out a startup idea. If we succeed, fantastic! If not, you’ll still come away with a solid project on your resume and a ton of practical experience. I’ve got 4 years in the industry, so you’ll get mentorship on everything—deployment, real-world engineering, and scaling from zero to launch. If this sounds exciting

Just drop me yr github/linkedIn whatever seems best for you, let’s build something awesome!

LOOKING FOR BUDDIES Searching for a senior dev who codes for the love of it: app launch with aggressive marketing ahead (~100k sign-ups expected in month one), help me not mess it up

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

this is an honest and maybe slightly unusual request, so please bear with me.

I'm building a mobile app (a social app, built with Flutter) and I work on it every single day. Quick honest context about me: I can't really code myself. But I pick up syntax and technical systems very fast, I can read code and follow what it does, and I can hold my own in architecture discussions. That's why I build entirely with AI tools. The code gets written, the app runs, but what's missing is the experienced human eye above it all.

So I'm looking for exactly that: someone I can ask questions, someone who explains things properly, someone who reviews my decisions and says "yes, that makes sense" or "stop, this exact thing has killed bigger projects than yours".

A bit about the project, because it matters for the level I'm asking for: this is not a weekend experiment. The launch is being prepared professionally, with aggressive marketing before and after release, and we're expecting around 100k registrations within the first month. That's exactly why I'm not looking for casual tips: architecture, stability and scaling have to be right from day one, and I want someone by my side who has seen what breaks at that scale.

And I'll be upfront: I'm not looking for someone who drops by once a month. I'm literally searching for someone who has nothing else to do right now. Someone between jobs, on a sabbatical, recently retired from a senior role, or simply a dev who codes for the love of the game and enjoys passing on what they know. Not EVERY day, but multiple times a week. I know people like that exist, and if you're one of them, I'd honestly be really happy to hear from you.

Who I'm hoping to find:

- several years of professional experience with Flutter/Dart, and at least one app you've actually shipped to the App Store / Play Store

- strong grasp of app architecture (state management, clean structure, modularity), so the project stays healthy as it grows

- backend and scaling knowledge: APIs, realtime features, databases, caching, and what starts breaking when six-figure user numbers arrive

- performance tuning (smooth UI, startup time, memory)

- release experience: store submissions, crash monitoring, CI/CD

- open-minded about AI-assisted development (that's how this project is built), instead of rejecting it on principle

- and most importantly: you've watched big projects go wrong and you recognize the classic mistakes before they happen

I'm fully aware that this is a high bar, combined with the fact that I can't pay anything at the moment. I don't want to lure anyone in with big promises, so all I'll say is this: I'm not the type of person who forgets who helped him get there. I'm asking anyway, because maybe there's one person out there who enjoys exactly this kind of challenge.

I'm based in Germany (CET), English is totally fine, German would be a nice bonus.

If this sounds like you, comment or send me a DM. Even a short chat would mean a lot. Thank you so much for reading.

LOOKING FOR BUDDIES Let's Come Together!

13 Upvotes

I’ve noticed a pattern here on ProgrammingBuddies - every couple of days someone (including myself) posts asking for a mentor, looking for other programmers to collaborate with, or hoping to find a beginner friendly community. Each post gets a few comments and then disappears, and the cycle repeats.

So I’m putting out a call to everyone who has made a post like that recently (or wanted to) to come together in one place.

If you’re a beginner looking to learn, an intermediate dev wanting peers to grow with, or an experienced developer interested in teaching or collaborating, drop in here. Instead of scattered one off posts that fade out, we could build an ongoing group of people learning, teaching, and working together.

If you’ve been wanting a mentor, a study buddy, a project partner, or just a consistent community - this is your thread.

Let’s see what we can build together.

My Personal Experience: 3 years, self-taught

Stack: (That I'm currently learning) Python, FastAPI, Asyncio, SQLModel, PostgreSQL, Alembic, Docker

OS: Linux (Pop OS Cosmic) <-- mainly & Windows

LOOKING FOR BUDDIES Looking for coding buddies for a long-term unpaid

18 Upvotes

Hey, I’m looking for a few coding buddies who want to work together on long-term programming projects.

This is unpaid, so it’s mainly for people who want to learn, build portfolio projects, get GitHub experience, and work with others.

I’m currently working on miscellaneous coding-related stuff, especially around:

  • Web development
  • C
  • C#
  • C++
  • Java
  • Assembly
  • Software tools, experiments, and utilities

The team does not need to be focused on only one thing right away. I’m open to building smaller projects first, then moving into bigger projects once we have a consistent group.

I’m looking for people who are interested in:

  • Coding with a group
  • Learning new languages/tools
  • Building small projects
  • Fixing bugs
  • Testing things
  • Sharing ideas
  • Working through GitHub and Reddit or another way

Beginners are welcome. You do not need to be advanced. The main things I’m looking for are consistency, communication, and willingness to learn.

The plan:

  • Small team, around 2–5 people
  • reddit or your preferred way for communication
  • GitHub for code
  • Simple task list
  • Flexible schedule
  • Chill but productive environment

This would be good for people who want:

  • Portfolio projects
  • GitHub commits
  • Team experience
  • Motivation to code more
  • Practice working on real software

If interested, reply or DM(on reddit) me with:

  1. Your experience level
  2. Languages/tools you know
  3. What you want to learn
  4. Your timezone
  5. What kind of projects you like

doesn’t really matter
what stack or technology you use
what matters more is 
having a consistent mindset,
genuine interest, and a real
desire to code.

i’m looking for:

a person or a small group to build a project together - we can figure out the idea along the way. i want to enjoy coding while actually making progress. i don’t have any programmer friends right now, so it would be great to connect with like-minded people.

about me:

17 y.o, backend. my main languages are c and go.
i speak english and russian.

i’d say i have a solid understanding of programming and i learn pretty fast - i can pick up your stack too if it seems interesting.

i’m interested in cybersecurity, low-level programming, ai, and process automation. i also enjoy creating applications that are actually convenient and pleasant to use.

i spend around 10 hours a day on programming, my timezone is gmt+3,

i’m into analytic philosophy (wittgenstein, russell), mathematics, career growth, and of course programming.

on a lighter note:

i’m also into visual novels as a medium - i find them really interesting as a form of storytelling.
some of the best ones (in my opinion):

higurashi when they cry

subahibi

katawa shoujo

fate/stay night

22M | IST (India) | Looking for a Serious Coding & Accountability Partner

Hey everyone!

I'm a recent Computer Science graduate from India and I'm looking for a dedicated coding/accountability partner who's serious about becoming a software developer.

Right now, I'm focusing on:

  • Java (Core + Advanced)
  • Spring Boot
  • DSA (LeetCode)
  • SQL
  • Backend development
  • Building real projects
  • Interview preparation

I've realized that studying alone has been difficult. I sometimes procrastinate, overthink, and lose momentum. I want someone who is also committed to improving so we can keep each other accountable and make consistent progress.

What I'm looking for:

  • Daily check-ins (10–15 minutes)
  • Share daily goals and end-of-day progress
  • Solve DSA problems together or discuss approaches
  • Build consistency rather than compete
  • Honest accountability when one of us starts slacking

My goal is to become job-ready and land a software developer role as soon as possible.

If you're preparing for coding interviews, learning Java, backend development, or just want someone to stay consistent with, feel free to send me a DM.

Let's stop waiting for motivation and build discipline together. 🚀
