I’m interested in both trading time and in co-working.
As yet another form of co-working, I’m also available for advice. If your project is stuck somewhere, talk to me about it and I’ll get excited. At the very least, that might reflect back to you, and probably I’ll come up with something useful for you to think about. Historically, the first piece of good advice takes less than 20 minutes to generate over 80% of the time, and so if you’re leery of devoting a three hour block to working with someone, this is still worth considering.
For coworking of the “both be on Skype working on separate things” variety, I find having a weekly schedule that I can plan around (and thus remember easily) about 10-20% more useful than one-shot appointments.
I have lots of different projects I’m working on, and am not sure which I’d want to do most.* I’d probably ask the person I’m coworking with. I have a handful of small coding projects that I would be much more willing to start next to a competent programmer. (I promise to ask Google any questions before asking you :P )
* One of the benefits for coworking / related arrangements for me is that I seem to calibrate my excitement for a project based on the excitement of others more than other people, and so I imagine I’ll get much more done on a particular project if someone looks at what I’m doing, says “wow, I’d love to see you finish that,” and then stays there for a few hours. I’m not sure how much of this is just outsourcing the cognitive effort of “what should I be working on?”
