Find Coding friends near you

Coding is writing instructions for computers, whether you build apps for a living or tinker with scripts on weekends for fun. Coders bond over shared frustrations, clever solutions, and the joy of explaining a bug out loud until it fixes itself.

How to find people who share your love of coding

In Partnr you add Coding to your interests, set how far you'll travel, and browse nearby people who like it too. When you both show interest you can chat and make a plan.

  • Co-work at a cafe on separate side projects and trade questions
  • Join a weekend hackathon as a team of two
  • Pair program on a tiny project you both care about

Conversation starters for Coding friends

  • “What is the side project you keep meaning to finish?”
  • “Tabs or spaces, and how strong is that opinion?”
  • “What was the first thing you ever coded that actually worked?”
