Meet people 🧑🤝🧑
➡️ As a developer or anyone in a tech job, I highly recommend meeting more people and building in public (literally).
This week, I went to a Hackerhouse in Bangalore and wrote this newsletter from there. If you are around, join and meet fellow hackers.
➡️ If you are looking to attend a conference or volunteer in one, React Day Berlin can be your thing!
➡️ Ending it with an advice from Manu (founder of Aceternity Labs) on building side projects (y’all should also watch the podcast by Peerlist, they are cool)
That’s a wrap for this week. Hit me up here or on Twitter if you have any suggestions or feedback for me.
