What did I learn from today’s 5K MDC Meetup?
Code to solve real problems.
We often jump from one tutorial to another and end up stuck in tutorial hell. We rebuild projects we see on YouTube or online, and yes, that helps. But building something that solves your own daily problems teaches you way more. It can be as simple as a to do app customized exactly the way you want it. The real learning happens when you build it yourself, research things on the way, and figure out what to do step by step.
You don’t need to know every tech stack to get started with jobs or internships.
If you know something like Nextjs and Supabase, that is already enough to build a full stack app. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying you shouldn’t learn more. But learning while already working in the industry is much better than sitting for years just learning without doing. And Next.js and Supabase are just examples, not the only stack people should use.
Market yourself.
You may have learned a lot, but HR is not going to magically find you and offer you a job. Build your LinkedIn profile. Have a polished portfolio that is deployed properly. A custom domain looks more professional than just a Vercel link. Write blogs about things you truly understand. Build your GitHub profile too.
Network. Network. Network.
Connect with seniors. Connect with people from other departments if you are not already in software. Connect with students from other campuses too. A lot of opportunities come through people, and networking helps you learn things you would never discover alone.
On job applications, don’t be the average applicant.
If you know you can do the job but don’t have a project to show yet, quickly build something and send a Loom video explaining how you would solve the problem. Reach out directly to HRs, CEOs, or talent managers with something that helps you stand out.
On platforms like Upwork, don’t send generic proposals like “I am delighted to apply for this job.” Talk about what the client is actually looking for and connect it with your experience. Also, unless they specifically ask for it, don’t include your graduation year. Just mention your university. Some clients judge students or fresh graduates before even seeing their skills.
For interviews, research the interviewer.
If they have a technical background, be ready to explain your projects deeply instead of just giving a surface level explanation. If they are non technical, explain your projects in simple language and focus on how it solves business problems.
Go with the trend.
That doesn’t mean jumping from one field to another every month. It means finding trends that match the skills you already have or things you can quickly learn. Workflow automation is booming in freelancing right now. If you already have related skills, learning it can open a lot of opportunities. Voice agents are also becoming huge in AI. If you are already in AI, moving into those areas becomes much easier.
Keep learning your core skills, but don’t only prepare for old school jobs. Learn what’s trending too.
Mood swings.
It happens to almost everyone. We start something with motivation and quit a week later feeling unmotivated. The important thing is understanding that motivation should not be the thing running your life. Systems should.
Build routines and systems instead of depending on motivation. Change your environment if needed, sometimes even your friends :) And even when you feel down, don’t let that make you quit for multiple days. Missing one day is okay. Missing two days in a row is where momentum starts breaking.
When you rely on systems instead of emotions, you start seeing the bigger picture better.
I honestly learned so much from the program. I feel bad for people around 5 Kilo who missed it. Hopefully, you’ll make sure to attend the next one.
I’m writing this in one sitting straight from memory, so I’m sure I forgot a lot of points. But I still wanted to share what I remembered. I’ll also share the recording once the organizers upload it.

you’re wasting that precious 3 months you could’ve spent grinding building and gaining some actual work experience. Pick a really hard project, do the entire Software development life cycle on that shit, Post the living hell about it.
This had me think long and reconsider my plans.
The goal is to use my time properly, make the most out of it, and upgrade my skills.
We have around 4½ months summer time.
But, personally speaking, staying at home that long and tryna be consistent and motivated is difficult. I know a lot of you relate to that.
What do u guys think tho? Tips?

So, there was this game called The Sims3
It is a life simulation game where players get virtual people, build homes, explore and etc.....
So, the problem is that it's an old game and it doesn't store your progress anymore.
If you know similar games or where to download an improved version. Drop'em below👇
Notice: I wasn't gaslit and forced to post this 😭

One of my regrets in Uni, is not taking a pic of the math department class hall.
It looks so Majestic ✨ and Vintage💫.
THE VIBE is sth elseee
Unfortunately, the last time we had classes there was back in 2nd year.
People who have class scheduled there, do me a favoooorrr
