Hi Michael, I think your offer sounds great! Sometimes I feel like a senior programmer; other times like an intermediate or even junior, and I've been doing this for a long time.
I'm actually replying because of your Elixir learning, and I wanted to let you know that we're having our 2nd Elixir meetup <http://www.meetup.com/Orange-County-Elixir/events/225265600/> in Dana Point this Thursday evening. There are two other people coming up from San Diego; maybe you can rideshare. Ping me if you have questions or would like to help w/ presenting or otherwise participate; we're just starting out.
