I recently broke up with my girlfriend because I feel that I want to spend my time with someone that has a lot of passion for code - like me. My ex was a makeup artist (majority of my ex:es have been in fashion). They are great but we don’t have that much to talk about. Often I find myself eager to talk about code when I’m having a nice dinner out, or to watch coding tutorials instead of fucking Netflix. There are 95% guys where I work and when I go to meet ups there are again 95% guys. Where should I hangout? TC 160k
With your TC, you should hangout at leetcode.com
Yeah, I recently started working on my TC focus. Prior to that I was just focusing on having fun at work and up until now I have loved it :)
* I still do, just a bit more focus on TC :D If I ever land a date with a SWE I better shut up about my TC... She might say GTFO :(
Might need to start dating guys
This guy knows
Hahaha ;) How are you man? Free?
Dude, u need balance.. its yin and the yang. I have been in the Industry for 20+ years and yet to girls who code like crazy. May be Indian or Chinese but very few Americans. Assuming you are caucasian
Get a life outside of work
I sometimes want to hangout with non techie crowd. I am techie so is my wife and all my friends. Common, you don’t want to talk to your partner about objects and classes.
Get another hobby
I go to drawing classes over week. I go to the gym. I’m at good parties every weekend. I just really think it would be cozy to sit in the couch and talk code and cuddle. 😢
A few things I should mention is that code and building interactive digital experiences is my passion, I really love doing it and have loved it since I was 12. I’m not an introvert at all and I party almost every weekend (hence the fashion girls). I go to the gym 3 times a week and I go to drawing class once a week.
Where do you live?
New York
You don't want a girl who codes. You want one who does good code. Because if she writes terrible code it would be worse than not coding at all. Now, that intersection would fall into the probability section generally referred to as unicorns
Lol 🦄
Your comment about passion in digital experiences is illuminating. Don't aim for a SWE so much as a lady with a graphics designing/artistic/UX background. The blend of design + implementation skills could be great
That’s true! I guess I just want to have someone that understands what I do and can share my joy of building things. I’ll take this advice! Thanks!
Meet ups and dating apps (that’s how us introverts meet nowadays lol)
I’m a super extrovert, unfortunately I have a hard time finding SWE girls in the circle of groups I have. They are all in fashion or doctors.
What’s wrong with dating a doctor?
