We need a platform where collaborative projects are more readily available to all

Volunteering/discounted work has typically been the best networking I've come across.

With the market slowing down and a lot of lay-offs happening, it is important to keep an active and engaged network.

I find it tough to reach out to people without a warm intro. I don't want to come off as annoying or needy

Really just want a place that functions like a pickup game of basketball where I kind find some devs interested in a project and build something.

It would be nice to have an opportunity to genuinely engage with individuals looking to collaborate. I would appreciate this on even a small scale, working on projects just for growth.

With AI rapidly evolving at a staggering pace, I wish I had a clear direction with what I needed to do to take my career to the next level.

It would be nice to have a place where all backgrounds feel welcome or comfortable to work with others that might have more experience.

Networking on some platforms seems very shallow. Connecting with people seems very useless unless there is a specific reason.
