Ask HN: Do you live in the UK? North UK, perhaps?
I'm 19 and I live in Liverpool, UK. I work for a pretty big webdev/webapp company as a PHP developer. At heart, I'm a Python developer and if you are too then that's great - but feel free to give me an excuse to learn something new. I've been coding since I was in primary school. My parents were strict with computer access so I would write code on paper in my room then type it up whenever I got the chance. I've always loved code.
When I first became a professional programmer about 2 years ago, it was a dream. I was being paid to do what I wanted to do. But now, as happens, I'm sick of my day job. I want to actually build stuff that either matters or is at least interesting, not just a website for a truck company. I have ideas and if you do too, fantastic. I don't care what technology you want to work with, if it fits the job I'll learn it and we'll use it - I just want to make things.
If you have experience with startups, that's probably a good thing. The only experience I have is reading HN and The Lean Startup. Oh and I ran a sweet smuggling business back in high school ;-)
