Are you working on something new, exciting or weird?
Are you learning about a new piece of tech or just looking for someone to bounce off an idea that has been haunting you for some time?
Brilliant!
I'm available throughout the week for a coffee and a chat about ideas big and small. There's no specific format to this—ask me any question and I'll see if I can help, free of charge.
I also have a bi-weekly 2h slot which I use for pair programming and mentoring sessions with friends, old and new.
Should none of this suit you, feel free to call me for a delicious 3 minute rant. It's simple: you rant, I listen.
We spend the remaining 7 minutes staring into the void, contemplating the pointlessness of our endeavors and the strange pleasure of hyperventilation.
A few days later I might text you back with a solution to your problem.
Honestly though, I'm just curious to see who you are and what you've been up to.

Pro tip: I respond well to direct, no-bullshit communication. Skip the pleasantries, get straight to the point. I appreciate when people challenge my ideas.
