Tonight I spent 4-5 hours pair programming with a teenager from Estonia. I often do these big bounties and help these smaller Devs in building their apps. I used to do it often before but stopped doing it after I started doing cooperate work


He's building a real time collaborative car bookings app with OpenStreetMap + WebSockets. The Ul is genuinely beautiful clean, smooth and thoughtful. With clear user focus. I've seen university final year projects that look like some windows XP era

We fixed the WebSocket reconnection issues and some CORS problems together. And I proof read his code. It was a classic camel case and snake case date and time issue with some race conditions. His code was AI generated I could tell but he clearly tried to use his own logic but it was hitting race conditions that I fixed.

The rest of the time I was just watching in awe while he drove. I offered to rebuild + deploy the whole thing for him tonight for free ofc but he politely said no he wants to finish it himself so he really learns.

Kids like this are why I love doing free work. No ego, no clout chase, no money just pure passion and curiosity.At 17-18 he's already building harder and cleaner than most adults I know.

You're already doing it right kid. Keep going, the world needs more people like you. I am proud of you. I told him to let me know if he needs any help and left. What a great experience

I can't use my GitHub from work obviously so I'd have to create a burner. What do you have in mind.

No, so it will choose a random crypto, then look for the top 5 recent articles about it. Next it will search through Kanye's song lyrics. If any article matches the lyrics, it will trigger a buy. The order value, sl, and tp will be decided using the Average True Range

I mean I can try but yours is probably something complex so I'll have to spend a lot more time on it which is less enjoyable than these small fixed but sure I can try
