Title: I've been a solo programmer since I started programming, and I don't usually get much feedback on my ideas or projects because I just don't know enough people who do what I do. My question is, how can I find people who are interested in these things and are willing to listen?<p>For example, I'm working on an experimental Ruby framework at the moment (http://github.com/Twisol/dishes) , but the programmers I do know (who don't use Ruby, sadly) aren't very knowledgeable in that area, and it's always a pretty one-sided conversation. I'm not part of any Ruby or web-dev social circles and I wouldn't even know where to begin. It feels like I'm working in a bubble.<p>Any advice? I feel a little incompetent for having to ask this question at all, heh. ^_^;
