Instead, you’ll be part of a team of 7, where you: 👨‍💻 Solve problems together daily 💬 Discuss approaches and learn from each other 🎤 Do weekly rotating presentations (1 person per day) 📈 Stay accountable and consistent We’ll mainly use Python, working toward: 💼 Technical interviews 🏆 Competitive programming 🌟 Opportunities like A2SV 📅 Starts this summer If you’re ready to stay consistent and improve with others, this is for you. 📝 Apply here: Registration Link ⚠️ Spots are limited since teams are small, apply early to secure your place 🔥

#Recap 🚀 Had an amazing time at the dev meetup. And honestly didn’t expect it to be this good. Met Sanyi and we had a really great conversation. Sharp mind, for real. A kid with a potential of building Google from scratch. Appreciate you bruv👏 And yeah… I might be older but still shorter than you 😭🤣 ገና ልጅ ነህ ታድጋለህ, I’ll be the one stressing instead 😅 Had a solid discussion with Yeabsira and Nafyad about internships. We didn’t fully agree at first, but your perspectives were real and not sugarcoated. I respect that a lot. And I agree with your pov 🙌 Also got the chance to talk with Major John from the game dev community. That was a big moment for me. The way he broke down game development... all the different roles and paths... completely changed how I see it. Definitely not what I expected, in a good way. Looking forward to meeting again, maybe at the next game jam😉. Met a lot of new people (and somehow even found a classmate I’ve never noticed before 😭). Eyoba you’re genuinely one of the best person I’ve met. We’re not done talking and we will meet again soon 😁 አንላቀቅም Kasmase, great time as well. And to everyone else (Mahlet, Nafyad, Eyael, Eyu, Jo, Henok, Fraol, Bonson, LUTO, Bruik, EKD) it was honestly a pleasure meeting you all. From strangers to real connections 🤝 Big respect to Mo for organizing everything. Without you, this wouldn’t have happened. And yeah… some of those questions were wild 😂 glad I dodged one of them 😭 This was my first dev meetup… and now I already want another one😅 Great people, great conversations, unforgettable experience ❤️ #StackMinds #DevCommunity #Meetup

It was really a good day, we will do it again soon✌️ Credit to @BlackLion325 big respect brother😎 #DevEvents

Most developers use TypeScript today… But almost nobody knows who built it. Anders Hejlsberg didn’t just create one language — He built two of the most important tools in modern programming. First, he created C# at Microsoft to compete with Java. Then years later, he saw JavaScript breaking at scale… So he built TypeScript to fix it — without replacing it. That decision changed everything. Today, TypeScript powers apps, startups, and tech giants. And most people don’t even realize It came from one developer. #programming #typescript #javascript #coding #softwareengineering @stackminds

The key to happiness 😌😋
