🏗️ Why Join a Dev Discord?

#hiringchannel where startup founders post jobs directly, bypassing the HR black hole. - Hackathon Teammates: The best place to find teammates for your next hackathon.
⚠️ Discord Etiquette
- Don't ask "Can I ask a question?": Just ask the question! (This is called "No Hello").
- Use Code Blocks: Don't paste screenshots of code. Paste the text inside triple backticks (```) so people can read it.
- Be Patient: People are helping you for free.
