Software Developer / programmer Friend Zone.

There is a web2.0 platform called dev.to that is like a blog with active users, you update about your programming projects, and people leave comments and like it. There is also reddit. There is also here! there are programmers here lurking quietly in the shadows, chewing on tobacco and toenail clippings.

Being an upcoming developer can feel incredibly lonely sometimes.

I’ve been on this journey into software engineering for about 18 months now. At this stage, I’m fully in the “build anything valuable” phase—trying to create projects that can grow my portfolio, sharpen my skills, and help me advance in the field.

One of my biggest milestones so far has been building a Telegram WebApp that now serves thousands of users. It's something I'm proud of. Yet, despite this progress, the journey is starting to feel more isolating by the day.

So, I’m reaching out to ask: does anyone know of an active programming community—on Telegram, Discord, or elsewhere—where I can connect with like-minded developers, share ideas, and maybe even learn from more experienced peers?

I’d genuinely appreciate any links or recommendations.

And if you’re in a similar situation—early in your dev career, hungry to grow, and craving a sense of community—maybe we can come together and create one ourselves.

Thanks in advance for any support or connections you can offer.

Connecting with others makes a huge difference, and there are plenty of devs feeling the same way.

Congrats on your Telegram WebApp—that’s huge! For active dev communities, check out Discord servers like “The Coding Den” or “Dev Community,” and Telegram groups like “Programmers Hangout.” Also, Reddit’s r/learnprogramming is great for advice and support. Starting your own group sounds awesome—count me in if you do!
