Do you have tips on building a network? As an introverted developer at a non-tech company in a third-string city, I find few in-person opportunities to talk shop with thoughtful programmers. When it comes to the internet, I feel like I don't have anything valuable to add to the conversation.

- playing_colours 3y agoIf you have motivation and time, find a niche, a project you are interested to dig into. Spend a month on learning about it, write some code. Then contact OSS contributors working in that area, show interest to learn and contribute. It may work. Good lick!
