Need to join a team or create one. (I will not promote)
Been programming for years and feel like I'm a pretty solid generalist. The timing seems right to hit the job hunt hard, but I'm still interested in doing the startup thing as a contributor. I have to many life commitments to go all in solo.
At this point I just want to build something meaningful in a collaborative way. Shoot around ideas, and tackle something more ambitious than I can alone. I'm about as far from an AI prompter as you will find, so I do have the option to lean into AI hard, and see how much it multiplies my output. But even if I do that it still all comes down to my taste and I'd rather be on a team or small group where everyone cares as much as I do.
How would you go about finding a project like this to join? I feel a little out of place like I missed my opportunity to participate in a startup and it's really gen-z's time. On the flip side who cares. I enjoy building and have love for the game.
