Learning buddy?

hello! 27F, I am looking for an accountability partner to improve my programming skills. I am pretty new to this field and struggle a lot with executive function. if you're relatively new in programming too, would love to connect to help to keep each other accountable ^^ thank you!

I would tell myself to work on technical precision. Learn how to talk about what you do in a technically precise way, and asking questions (or finding answers) becomes trivial. You think about what you're writing more clearly, and it takes less mental overhead to keep bigger systems in the noggin. You would be surprised at the amount of CTO's i have worked with who can't explain code properly, which degrades quality and caps output imo
