1/ the gettogether.ai team competed in 3 @devpost hackathons this year
we took 1st overall in one, 2nd overall in another, and made out with over $30k for our startup
here are some lessons we learned and why you may want to consider picking a relevant hackathon β¬οΈ
Pro tip: use clickbait commit messages to get your teammates to review your code faster
git commit -m βFirst she noticed a bug in production. What happens next will SHOCK you!β
Having Breshna plastered all over NYC is a lifelong dream and while we have a few milestones to go before we ring the IPO bell and paint the city purple;
I got a cool flavor of what that would look like, all thanks to @bizcryptoworld
Deets in π§΅
People wonder how @Replit ships so fast.
Last week we launched bounties.
If you work in product, marketing, BizOps or any non-eng role, then you MUST learn to use bounties.
This will kick your team into overdrive.
Let me explain with a story.
Hello. Young kids back in school are so sick right now. Everyone with a preschooler has an entire household of sleepless viral cough snot fevers for the past two months without a fucking break. So if you know a parent going through this, be kind and gently hit them with your car.
If you're going to start a company, don't focus on the exit. Focus on product and making your customers lives easier or better. Play the game on the field in front of you not the field of dreams that "might be" if things go perfect. (which they never do BTW)

100% convinced that the best way to get unstuck on your startup is to just go talk to USERS
when youβre struggling to make sense@of things, get out of your own head and figure out whatβs in theirs
Over the years, I have tried to learn to code many times.
Each time, I stop after a few days. Clunky first steps. Life gets busy. Always an excuse.
@Replit made it 10x easier for beginners (of any age) when we released #100DaysOfCode a few weeks ago
Here's my journey π
