A little bit about me:<p>Been coding since 13 (sold my first piece of software at 14), but still not very good<p>Currently attending Stanford University (CS Major)<p>Interested in building things to spread information that betters people's lives (with a focus on doing things in a way that makes sense given our knowledge of psychology)<p>Been using rails for a while, and node.js&javascript recently. I built a new site last week in rails (email for link) :)<p>Have many personal projects on the go (i'll tell you all about all of them :) )<p>Mentoring a complete beginner in rails, and saw how much faster they were able to learn - so I'd love the same thing!<p>I could really use someone who I can email/chat with a few times a week to ask small questions (e.g. right now trying to create a site with DocPad/node, and I have a few questions, these things always come up and I solve them eventually - but it takes far far longer).<p>I have been mentoring someone who is a complete beginner at rails, and what I said to them is that the blocks I experienced when learning rails would generally involve me posting on stackoverflow, waiting a day or 2, and then getting an answer and being able to continue - something which hugely slowed down my rate of learning progress.<p>I'm still pretty much a beginner - and when I do ask these questions to someone knowledgable they are generally solved in less than 2 minutes - but really slow me down otherwise :) And I only have a few questions like that a week!<p>Feel free to ask me any more questions about my full story via email :)<p>Please send me an email or reply here with any questions!<p>hn@withoutfriction.com
