I appreciate your feedback. My issue with this approach is that you come across as everyone else who's just trying to "network" as Sam mentioned in the youtube link I provided.
I think a better approach is to learn how to code and build something to show others. That way you come across as someone who genuinely wants to be a friend.
I found tutorials to learn C# for free here if it helps others - https://unity3d.com/learn/tutorials/topics/scripting
