@DevJachi_ @swerikcodes No fr.

@jayyyroy @swerikcodes Same man crazy stuff. The growth has been nothing short of inspiring

A year ago I posted this video from my dorm at McGill. I had zero mobile coding experience and genuinely no idea if it would work. I built the app Empor in 93 days, made $2,600 in the first week after launch, and won the McGill sustainability grand prize. Since then I built another app, Resumax AI, to help students build resumes that actually get them hired. We recently crossed 15,000 users and $17,000 in revenue. A couple months later I got the Amazon offer I used to dream of, and turned it down, all to build a startup with F1 driver Jack Doohan out of my own Toronto office. People always say you overestimate what you can do in a day but underestimate what you can accomplish in a year. I didn’t fully believe that until right now.

@swerikcodes 🐐🐐

Five months ago I never would’ve believed I’d be the CTO of a multi million dollar startup, opening an office in my dream city.

I'm tryna get better at Rust so why not do LeetCode in Rust? So yk in reversing a linked list you don't need the temp value anymore because you take a mutable reference and take ownership of the next value inside of it so it's safe to reassign it? It's a whole another world!!!!

@owengretzinger Real. Tryna learn more theory for the ReGex engine I’m building so kinda slow these days

most candidates i come across, even including many who get to the interview stage, have commit graphs that look like this or worse you can get ahead of 99% just by showing up every day
