Aging, mediocre programmer seeks wise fellow programmers/technical folks

Very soon ageism will catch up with me and I'll be unemployed. ( I'm 42). I'm smart enough to do most business related software development but mediocre enough that I won't be hired by the likes of Google. As they say, most technical work or any work that requires deep focused thinking is a race to the bottom. I see great potential if programmers/technical folks are willing to put aside their overly individualist and reclusive tendencies, and start realistically co-operating. I'll like to get in touch with fellow techies who have realized this. And want to hash out ideas for any mutual co-operation. I have nothing concrete in mind yet, but I can be reasonably sure that I'm not looking for software related ideas.

A starting point could be some online forum where ideas can be exchanged.




I'm in. I'm not that particular on the idea. I just want to make sure their are customers before alot of it is built.


Agree it would be foolish to build something huge if there is uncertainty about customers. Expect an email from me.
