25 year-old dev in the Los Angeles area looking for like-minded devs/hackers/whatever to build with.

Just tired of building things by myself, and I think it'd be fun to team up with someone (or multiple) - not even necessarily for business ideas or whatever, but just because having a group can make things much more fun/productive, even for simple things.

Stack: Rust, Python, Apache Big Data Suite, React-Native (noob) -- also very much interested in smart-contract platforms.

Non-tech interests: basketball, video games (just bought a new ASUS gaming notebook), sushi, the beach, art, general shenanigans

Reach out to me via email so.rayvy@gmail.com or on keybase https://keybase.io/rayvy to connect.

Cheers!

Curious to know some of the reasons preventing others from turning their ideas/projects into businesses. I'm not at a point where I'm trying to make an actual attempt (yet), but I think about it constantly, I know it's gonna happen one day - and that scare the $h!t out of me.

So I'll go first:

- I'm too broke - I'm too young - I'm not skilled enough to do it alone - I don't have a "network" to help - I don't even know anyone who's started a business - I'm a 'fraidy cat when it comes to spending my savings on what could potentially be a pipe dream - I'll probably fail

I'm looking for resources/info related to the fundamentals of building a type of spreadsheet-ing software (e.g., Excel, Google Docs). Can anyone link me to any resources? Not trying to build actual tool like that, just something a bit similar. I'm having trouble finding any resources related to getting started.

Can someone do a code review (whether on StackExchange or here) for my Rust TCP Server? I'd really like to know how to do this better, and any (constructive) help or criticism would be greatly appreciated

Link https://codereview.stackexchange.com/questions/198474/rust-tcp-socket-server-using-mio

Can anyone point me to any code/blogs/documentation on building a robust TCP server in Rust (noob here)? I'm finding bits and pieces in the docs, but it would be great to see all the concepts in a single program.

Edit: Robust meaning - uses polling, accepts multiple clients (preferably multi-threaded), etc.

I currently have a FT job (thankfully isn't too taxing), but I also have several side projects that I'm working on (browser extension, autonomous trading bot, and just general learning as well). I'm getting to a point where I don't exactly know how to balance my time between all of my side projects. I'm equally interested in all of them, it's just that I'm not sure how much time I should be allocating to each per-day/per-week. I recently read on HN about the "15-minute" rule, where you spend 15 minutes on each so that you don't commit too much or burnout -- anyone else have any other suggestions?

What do you do?
