Yes, we are real people. I drink beer, do woodworking, have a family, and enjoy talking to anyone, any time, about our craft. Try finding like-minded devs online in your area - look for slack channels, github accounts, meetups, etc. You will be surprised at how many people get together, especially in a place like Sydney. I'm in a small population area and there are at least a dozen dev groups that meet up from time to time in my area.
If you ever make it to the States and drop by Ohio, I'll buy you a beer!
Hi Jeremy, sorry for the cheeky post, I didn't mean to offend. I went to my first Meetup and had a great night, and met a bunch of real people! Importantly, I got an insight into what level I need to be to write code professionally. That part was daunting, I admit. Oh, and if I am in the States, I'll take you up on that beer. Likewise if you're ever in Sydney, I'll shout you a few.

No offense taken! It can be hard to break out of the online cave, but glad you were able to!
