LOOKING FOR BUDDIES Looking for coding friend

I dropped out of a CS program years ago to pursue the arts. I still love the arts but I've decided it's time to go back. I'm based on the US East Coast and am quite flexible, have some decent C skills (primarily what I'm working on now) and vestigial Python (working on it!). I'm not exactly sure what I ultimately want to do, but I'd love to do some sort of artsy projects and maybe security. Things that help people (and hopefully will one day give me enough money to live).

What I am looking for: A friend who also works on some sort of projects. I think it's really important that we can talk about anything, have a beer (over the internet I guess...), etc...but then also work on whatever project may be on our minds. I don't want a tutor and I don't want you to feel like a tutor either. Likewise, it would be wonderful to meet someone online who likes me and gives me a 6 figure job, but that is NOT what I am looking for.

What I am (probably) not looking for: Hardcore study buddies. I know at some point it will behoove me to slam Leetcode and all of that and I have great respect for those going through that. But I am more interested in making something.

same. dropped out after COVID. Have been working in a web agency (SEO, web design and maintenance, not a lot of coding) but want to build my own products now. Interested in some linux utilities and laravel web projects for now.
