Mentors and C/C++ Enthusiasts
I began self-teaching myself how to program in C/C++/C# a bit more than two years ago and I've been working nearly full time since then setting up the foundations of my own software and game development company. I don't really have a social life on or offline aside from my wife and year old son, but neither of them know anything about programming or what it is I spend most of my time doing. I've found forums and chat rooms to be for the most part quite terrible for forming interest based relationships, so I'm now resorting to my last resort: explicitly and literally asking for someone to be my programming buddy.
Even though I don't have any professional experience or claim to be a good programmer, I can't stress enough how passionate I am about programming. I was afraid of learning how to program for a long time, but once I thrust myself into the thick of it, I developed an unquenchable desire to spend as much time on it as I could spare and began pursuing a career as an independent, self-employed software developer almost immediately. I've been for the most part on track since beginning this endeavor two years ago and have been quite regularly coding 100+ hour weeks. I estimate that I won't begin to make any money for another two years or so from now, but I am enjoying what I am doing so much that it doesn't bother me one bit.
So who am I looking for? Just an internet/IM buddy who very much enjoys programming too. I don't particularly care how skilled or experienced you are, just as long as you're open to talking about programming or whatever.
If you are interested, shoot me an email at sigvatr@gmail.com
Cheers!
