    I mean you code for 1 or 2 reasons:

    1. Interest/Fun

    2. You get paid for it.

    WTF does "ethically" come into play here?

    Some of the advice here seems pretty bad. Download a CS paper and implement the algorithm??

    SHORT ANSWERS:
    * https://www.freecodecamp.com/
    * http://thecommunitycorps.org/
    * meet-ups
    * internships / apprenticeships

    LONGER ANSWER:
    Find a real project, and try to pair with someone. Best way is via the websites above, unless you know someone.

    e.g., You find out a local soup kitchen needs a website. They could also use an app to register incoming folks (one soup kitchen I volunteered at asked for name, age, and number of kids). So you build a WordPress site and write an Android tablet app or something.

    BENEFITS
    * You learn the whole SLDC, especially users and requirements gathering
    * There's so much more to programming than code. Databases, testing, etc.
    * Might get a job out of it.
