So far in every internship and job that I've had, there's been a more senior engineer whose brain I can pick. Just curious if anyone here has suggestions for finding similar opportunities outside of a job?

For context: I graduated college 2 years ago and have been working at a remote startup since. Now I'm going out on my own to focus a little more on some of the side projects I've been working on, but even a week in I'm starting to feel the strain of working on something solo.

Location has also been a little bit of an issue for me. I was in the bay area for college and found it much easier to find events / people to learn from. I moved to the the twin cities after graduating and haven't really been able to find the same community here.

Any advice is appreciated!
