As someone who is getting their start with coding, where/what forums exist that have a high quality/helpful community? My biggest struggle has been with relatively simple questions – with a broad stroked theme/issue to 'em for the most part. AKA having a mentor or just a group of coders who are willing to help out if you are willing to be an active member (but I'm relatively useless, aka active maybe in an off-topic lounge part of it). I'd appreciate it if ya got the sauce, a PM if you'd like to keep it on the DL perhaps? Thanks!


Programming language discords might be good. Code review stack exchange has been pretty helpful, though maybe wait until you have a grasp on the basics before posting.

If you struggle with broad issues a HN post is probably a good place to start, assuming you can express your question well. I imagine you'll get the highest signal to noise ratio here.

Edit: btw nobody can pm you as you have no contact info in your bio afaict.
