Breaking into tech is next to imposible without real-world experience.

We’re building the best place to gain tech industry skills through collaborative projects 👇🏽

Don’t just do, do, do.

Remember to take time to step back and think about your strategy.

One of the best mindset shifts I’ve made in 2025:

From “Will AI take my job?”

To 👉 “What can I do with AI that was impossible before?”

That question leads to way better places.

What if AI isn’t here to replace you —
but to show you how much more you’re capable of?

Anyone used 99Designs or Hatchwise for UI/UX?

Data without narrative is dead. Let’s be strong storytellers, founders 🫡

If AI agents are up anyone’s alley, we’ve got a project looking for collaborators to build some cool stuff 👇🏽

Idk who needs to hear this but asking people for favors you don’t know isn’t networking.

The most competent people I know aren't out here trying to convince everyone that they're competent.

Their work speaks for itself.

Got good feedback on how my landing page could be improved.

Should I go away until it’s fixed or keep marketing in the meantime?

Sharing loose thoughts on BSky everyday definitely takes some getting used to.

Excel sheets didn’t kill accounting software. AI agents won’t kill SaaS.

I tried using Trustpilot to learn from my competitors’ reviews and it was super insightful 👇🏽

You’re not “learning” AI unless you’re dealing with precision, accuracy, and recall.

Only using OpenAI endpoints barely counts.
