Anecdotally, for myself I've just been able to talk about my code with some trusted friends in more general terms, to get around not being able to share proprietary code and have gotten some good ideas that way.

I'm actually working on spinning up a service around this (specific to WordPress developers for now). Designed to help freelancers and other developers who are feeling stuck and just want some coaching/advice, specific help on projects or specific problems, or confidence having someone behind them as they take on bigger/more complicated projects.

We've been piloting it with a few people so far and have caught some things early that, if they were built, would have caused some headaches down the road that we were able to help avoid.

I don't know how well that scales or if it applies to other spaces, but I feel like there are people who specialize in different stacks that could offer a service like this as well.
