Is there such a thing as a social media for developers? A little about me, I'm from Madagascar. After learning English, I am now learning how to program, with the help of various free online courses from top US/EU universities, and a specialization in web development. I'd like to get in touch with developers, from US or EU as I'd like to get a remote job there and maybe in the long run move out. Most devs here work for so called "freelance companies" that takes care of teaching and finding contract for them, but in the end keeps all the money, while the devs gets just a little above minimum wages to keep them happy. If you didn't know already, my country is really really really poor (yes that poor). If someone is looking for a mentee also, I would love to have someone more experienced guide me through this journey. Kind of a long shot, I know, but lady luck favors the one who tries. If you have any questions, we can have a chat.
