It's a privilege to be able to serve the @MLHacks community every day. The organizers & hackers we empower are truly inspiring. I was able to highlight a few of them this morning at #HackconX during the keynote. Here are my slides: speakerdeck.com/theycallmeswif…

Free AI code reviews for OSS projects backed by Gemini? Yes, please! Read about how to get started in this @GoogleAI DEV community post from @nnennahacks and @DanaFine7.

anthropic broke $100M in 2023 $1B in 2024 $14B in 2025 this is the new normal at HF0, 10% w/w growth is the floor. data is in on the first ten batches 👇

@EmilyatHF0 Not "Major League Residencies (MLR)"? 🤣 Seriously though, this is a great idea. @hf0 is the gold standard for what residencies can be.

Residencies are a thing now. We’ve proven they work. Because of our success at HF0, a bunch of people are now calling things they run residencies. But they’re not. That’s why we are announcing the establishment of an accreditation body: the Accredited Residency Council (ARC)

1/ AI is about to create more software builders in the next 6 months than the last 50 years combined. Today we announced the biggest move in @MLHacks' 12-year history: we've acquired @ThePracticalDev. dev.to/mlh/the-future…

Today is the greatest day in history to become a software creator. @MLHacks + @ThePracticalDev is the home developers need to get hands-on-keyboard and thrive

Dear founder, Are you letting god flow through you?

1,500 student hackers. One massive hackathon. Let’s go, HackGT! 🚀 I think this may be the biggest in-person hackathon I’ve been to yet with @MLHacks. Everyone has two things on their mind: excitedly vibing to build for Sunday, and what this means for their careers. 🤔 As an industry for at least three years, we’ve been experimenting with building AI… and building with AI. That’s going to continue for a while which is a good thing. But it’s also becoming clear that we very much need devs for the long term. It’s not just typing in lines of code or code gen. Its real craft: building, packaging, and deploying real software that solves real human problems. That craft and problem solving is where we all shine. Keep building. Keep learning. The future of software is ours to shape. 🫡

Every billion dollar founder I know dropped off the face of the earth for years. We built the perfect home for these people. It’s called HF0. In our last batch, teams raising after demo day hit an avg valuation of $82M. Applications for F25 open today.

@AnthonyCastrio @__drewface @MLHacks @jonmarkgo That'd be awesome. Would love to check it out and meet @__drewface - I'm sure there's some cool stuff we can be doing together! Feel free to connect us over email @AnthonyCastrio

@__drewface @MLHacks We'll have to get @jonmarkgo and @SwiftAlphaOne out to the Tech Hub one of these days.

I'm frustrated by the tech industry. We are averting our eyes while abandoning impressionable young people (CS Grads & Entry-level engineers) instead of training them, essentially repeating the sins of the boomers. We can just stop doing this. We can get good at training people

One thought I can’t shake: As AI tools make building software more accessible, the gap between what kids learn inside the classroom and outside the classroom will widen. Meaning non-govt organizations that empower students, like @MLHacks, are critical societal infrastructure.

@priyans18648307 @MLHacks @priyans18648307 The @MLHacks Fellowship has always been an extremely competitive program – waaay more talented applicants than spots. The current market has only made that more true. Keep trying and don't give up!

@SwiftAlphaOne @MLHacks what's wrong with MLH😭😭😭? Is this my mistake? Now, I don't know what I should learn in order to get into MLH?

We've rescheduled our 🏳️‍🌈#Pride Month: LGBTQIA+ in #DevRel Panel featuring @jritten , @knowShubhangi , and @YayNickQ to Thursday, June 29th at 4 PM EST! We will donate $10 for every person that registers to the Trevor Project. 🚀 Register now ➡eventbrite.com/e/pride-month-…

@ChloeCondon @andypiper @mary_grace @film_girl @gratefuldays @MLHacks and @jonmarkgo 's State of Developer Education podcast

People who I shouted out in a podcast in no particular order... @andypiper @mary_grace @film_girl @ChloeCondon @gratefuldays

@DupeOfficial @MLHacks @desoprotocol Sorry, maybe I misunderstood when you said you had a support ticket open for shipping. Sounds like the @desoprotocol is a known issue that their team is working on FYI. Still please CC me in when you get the chance though!

@SwiftAlphaOne @MLHacks @desoprotocol Yeah, I am indeed outside of the US (Canada) not really sure how that affects a digital currency, though. I understand that physical prizes take time and whatnot but digital stuff seems a bit different.

Hey @MLHacks, is your partnership with @desoprotocol still ongoing? Wondering as prizes from last may and onwards for multiple people still haven't been paid out. Did you guys cut ties or something?

@DupeOfficial @MLHacks @desoprotocol Are you based outside the US by chance? Unfortunately international delivery rates for prizes and swag are awful. Our team is actually working on a solution to this currently though!

@SwiftAlphaOne @MLHacks @desoprotocol Sure, I already have an email chain going through the shipping email due to a bunch of other issues, but once I get a reply, i'll be sure to cc you. Thanks for the help.

@DupeOfficial @MLHacks @desoprotocol That doesn't sound typical. CC me (swift@mlh.io) on the thread with our support team. I'm happy to see if I can get thing moving again.

@SwiftAlphaOne @MLHacks @desoprotocol Yeah, after doing that got told to wait for it should be there soon months ago. Everyone just blames each other it seems. At this point, I somewhat doubt that any of the prizes will get paid out, seeing that our team and others haven't ever gotten it after multiple hackathons.

We're excited to announce the launch of our new podcast, The State of Developer Education! A show for leaders interested in shaping the future of developer education hosted by MLH's Co-Founder, @jonmarkgo. Join us for our first episode! buff.ly/3FyWx6u
