It might be helpful to have the social side, that’s why I bring it up!

Hi watermelon59 what are your interests? I host a club where we talk about tech/design/literature. We typically have meetings every 2 weeks. We would love to have you join the discussion if just to listen or give the software perspective :) Find us on thepolymathclub.com

Our next meeting is on cookies/tracking, and the one after that is on “what is intelligence?” It’s a chill environment- jump in anytime (or anyone else reading this post :))

Also in case it isn’t clear, I would absolutely love to have you on our next meeting, curious on what you’re working on, haha

Hi Kovek,

I’ve had this same problem in the past and couldn’t find a good way to reach experts, I tried LinkedIn but conversation tends to fizzle out as people are so busy in their day to day (not to bash anyone, but it’s just how it goes sometimes)

Are you looking for collaborators? Or have a specific topic in mind? I have a group called The Polymath Club (thepolymathclub.com) to collaborate on ideas. The purpose of building the group was to get input from many smart people in cross-discipline fields. We currently have 8 members. Not trying to advertise- I just thought you might find it helpful in the future :)

Hope you’re doing great

I had the same feeling, like there are not enough people to bounce ideas off of. I am hesitant to reach out to people in my inner circle (old friends/family) because they are just not developing themselves the way that I want to, or are not pursuing fields that I am interested in.

Do you have a specific topic in mind? I made a group called The Polymath Club (thepolymathclub.com) to collaborate on world problems/ ideas. The purpose of building the group was to get input from many smart people in cross-discipline fields. We currently have 8 members. You are more than welcome to join our meetings, you can even ask this very question you posed and we can discuss :)

Cheers! And best of luck in case we don’t get to talk later :)

You should go from from backend to front end on a very simple app (perhaps an app to count based on a screen click?) . A summary of sorts, on the process of coding and how to get to a final product. This is something I wish I had alas I am crunching through weeks on codecademy try to get and idea of backend first, and then front end. Not really sure how they are supposed to fit together.

It’s always best to keep an ongoing conversation. Remember, there is no “right” time, your boss will always be busy, so it’s always better to bring it up sooner rather than later. Also, you don’t have to have a pitch/goal the first time you talk about it. Just tell them you want to grow and want to know what they think and what they recommend to help you do that. Note: if you’re asking for a position change/raise, it’ll be a different approach.
