OP: this is not a direct criticism of your idea or implementation (in fact, by the end, you might notice I'm not sure I even have a valid criticism here), just a general observation on a trend I feel is common on this sort of initiative. I don't know about y'all, but I hate this idea of random 1-on-1s. Nothing sends my anxiety levels to the freaking roof as the idea of having to talk alone to a complete stranger. Mak…

Nothing sends my anxiety levels to the freaking roof as the idea of having to talk alone to a complete stranger.

Gaining experiences through the platform might be a useful tool for mitigating that anxiety.

But if you have a therapist, maybe talk to them first. Or not. Or you don't.

My point being that learning as an adult means breaking habits, jumping into situations that you habitually avoid, and generally doing things that you are either bad at or put you at discomfort.

one way this 1-on-1 evolved in the past was shared culture, aspirations, commitments.. you like the same music, you know you agree on some things, you are on the same (tribal+ sized) team.

1-on-1 can be a lot of stress - empathy on that

computers attract .. what is the term "neuro-atypical" or something? one of the few times I really lost my patience was with an Ausberger-kind-of-guy.. I thought I was patient, I tried to be patient.. maybe there are some learned skills..

limiting the scope of what the interaction involves, also can be constructive

We all know how this goes from dating websites... just a bunch of non-technical co-founders looking for easy matches or pretending to be developers to keep tabs on their former engineers. Bet there are tons of fake developer accounts too. We are not pieces of meat!

Inflammatory comment imo (or perhaps meant to be humorous). Either way, every developer you interact on DevClad with is approved manually. The factors used to manually approve a profile include a history of building side-projects or employment as an SDE at a company. This is the reason there's a 2-step onboarding process before you get to use DevClad.
