I'm in high school and looking for a startup founder. Although I have a few friends who are into startups/programming they are doing their own thing and I am helping them out, but I'd prefer to start my own thing.<p>What is the best way to find programmers/founders in high school? It seems like there are zero people interested in programming/computers at my school.<p>For any high school age programmers in Ottawa, my email is in my HN profile.
I'd honestly suggest trying to learn programming on your own. You're going to fail, your startup won't amount to shit, your friends will change and leave you, and things will change following school. Expect this, and don't be disappointed.<p>So, at the least, you can maybe learn some programming out of it.<p>Disclaimer: Some friends and I tried to make a game company in high-school to make an MMO (remember those?). Said company finally made some J2ME games in college, failed. Learned a whole lot about technology, networking, and programming in the process--which has what's actually been useful.
