8 months ago I couldn’t read code. I didn’t know TypeScript. I didn’t know how repos worked. I couldn’t look at an error and have any idea what was going on. I’m still not a traditional developer btw 😂 but AI gave me a way to build. so I started building. some ideas were bad. some products changed completely. some I stopped working on. every time I shipped something, broke something or tried something new, I learned. 1,371 GitHub contributions later, I can understand a lot more of what I’m looking at. I can read code better, reason through problems with AI and most importantly, take an idea in my head and actually make something people can use. I think there are a lot more people like me out there. people with ideas and curiosity who can build now because the barrier has completely changed. but I’ve also learned that building alone is hard. sometimes you need someone to look at what you’re making and tell you it makes no sense. sometimes you need feedback, an intro, another perspective or just someone equally obsessed with making things. so I’m trying a small experiment with @somehowinternet. 10 people. everyone has to be building something. no course. no accelerator. no 5,000-person community. just a small room where everyone knows each other, shares unfinished work, helps each other and keeps building. and I don’t want your CV, follower count or a long application. just your GitHub. applications are open, drop your GitHub in the comments ↓

the internet has made it easier than ever to build alone. but I don’t think we’re supposed to figure everything out alone. sometimes you need someone to look at what you’re building, make an intro, help with something you’re stuck on or just tell you when an idea makes no sense 😂 so I’m trying a small experiment with @somehowinternet. 10 people who are actually building things. not a course. not an accelerator. not another huge community. just a small room where everyone knows each other, shares what they’re building and helps where they can. applications open tomorrow. and all I’m asking for is your GitHub. your work should speak for you.

been thinking about something for Somehow for a while. I want to bring together a small group of people who are actually building things and see what happens when we put them in the same room. starting with just 10 people. more next week.
