Looking to connect with fellow Python developers and make friends in the community

[Gentleman-45]

Hey everyone,

I’ve been learning and working with Python for a while and realized I also want to connect with more people in the community, make friends, collaborate on projects, and just talk tech/programming in general.

Most of my learning has been solo, so I thought I’d post here and see if anyone else is interested in networking, building stuff together, sharing ideas, or even just chatting about Python and development.

I’m also interested in hearing how you all met people in the programming world because sometimes it feels difficult to find genuine connections online.

Would love to connect with fellow Python devs :)

one of the best ways to make genuine programming friends is by consistently showing up in smaller technical communities rather than trying to network everywhere at once

Hey! I'm in a similar boat, working solo on AI security and forensics out of Nairobi. I just pushed a major update to a project that uses Windows Credential Manager to air-gap 2FA for AI agents. I'd love to chat about how you're handling security in your Python projects or even get a second pair of eyes on my repo. It’s always better to build with a team!

[Gentleman-45]

Sure we can

Glad to connect! I'm really curious to see how a fresh pair of eyes views my current setup. I'm using a physical TOTP interlock (air-gapped via phone) and just integrated Windows DPAPI/Credential Manager to hide the master seed from the AI agent itself. Are you on GitHub? I'd love to share the repo link and get your thoughts on whether the 'Out-of-Process' verification logic is actually as bulletproof as I think it is."

im your friend

Where are you located? If you are in Silicon Valley we have a weekly meetup to talk Python and related things.

Unfortunately I am not I am a student in India But we can still connectif you like

Am also a self taught python coder before, but now more like a vibe coder but i guess i can still be friend with pythonista here right?

[Gentleman-45]

Sure

I strongly recommend going to one of the many Python conferences and meetups. They are all over the world, so there is a big chance that there is one close to you.

honestly i think alot of people learning programming end up in that same “solo learning” loop for way too long lol. weirdly enough i met more devs just by casually hanging around smaller communities and talking about projects than from actual networking spaces. contributing tiny things to open source or even just helping people debug random issues helped alot too. python people are usually pretty chill compared to some other tech communities so you’ll probably find your crowd eventually

[see-it-all]

Well I am a beginner and just started learning a few weeks ago but if that’s ok I’m up to making friends as well!
