Pairing

In the long standing spirit of Recurse Center experimentation I’m running a personal pairing experiment. I’m interested in spending an hour or two where you walk me through your project, and we work on a feature together. Pairing works best for me on weekdays between 11am and 8pm EDT, but I can be flexible. We can pair remotely or in person if you are in NYC. These pairing sessions are completely free.

If you are interested email me at hi@kate.io with a little about yourself and any projects you want to pair on. I promise I will send you a response. If you don’t have a project in mind email me anyways, we can look at a project of mine.

Recently I’ve paired on:

• A toy Torrent meta search engine using BeautifulSoup and Elasticsearch (with Gautham Goli).
• Profiling and reducing memory usage in a Python project that stores large files in memcache (with Indradhanush).
• Integration tests for a Javascript project using React and Firebase.
• Intercepting ICMP packets in Rust.
• Some word related exercises in Python.
• C code to do calculations on wide integers without using the built-in operators.
• Explaining and demonstrating basic git usage.

I love to pair on things that are new to me, here is a wish list:

• Generative art
• Fuzzing
• Systems programming
• Something you are excited about

The project must not be commercial or a school assignment. I’m happy to try out programming languages that are new to me, but I’m only fluent in English. If we pair remotely you must have a connection that can handle real-time collaborative text editing and voice chat.
