Tired of AI that’s too slow for production?
Small models are the secret to building efficient, lightning-fast backend pipelines. Join us to explore how JigsawStack makes engineering with AI practical and scalable.
Build with us! We’ll be live-coding two real-world tools:
- A Polyglot OCR Scanner that extracts and translates text instantly.
- A Smart Web Scraper using object detection to "see" websites.
Beginners welcome!

Hackerschool Week 4: Intro to Shell & Vim
🗓️ Tuesday, 3 February 6.30pm
📍 SR13 @ COM3-01-22
🧁 Refreshments will be served!
Shell and Vim are two essential tools for working efficiently in a Unix-based environment (and both are commonly encountered by 2030s students!)
We’ll start with an introduction to the shell, covering basic navigation, file management, and common commands to help you get comfortable working in a terminal.
After that, we’ll move on to an introduction to Vim, where you’ll learn core concepts, essential keybindings, and tips to make editing code and text less intimidating (and more productive).
Beginners welcome!
