The folks at @freeCodeCamp made a documentary on Cal Hacks 12.0! It’s got dozens of project demos and also interviews with me and my friends: youtu.be/3PD-vQbpwA8 It’s awesome to be able to see more of the things people built! I’m super proud of the whole event.
Cal Hacks 12.0 was insane! I'm super proud of the whole team for pulling it off :D We had 3.3k hackers and 700 projects were shipped - that's double last year's Cal Hacks! Plus we did it all at the Palace of Fine Arts w/ great food, a silent disco, and beautiful designs.
Truly inspired to see thousands of builders creating the future at @CalHacks 12.0. We never imagined it would be getting bigger and better each year, over a decade after 1.0. Really enjoyed our chat @zoink!
So awesome to meet so many incredible builders — and hear about their excitement for the future — at @CalHacks today!

first time visiting @CalHacks irl since i departed berkeley — very insane to see what the team is doing + hear about some of the stats!!! well done 🫡
it’s my face! this is a very lovely / interesting article.
last year, I built our first engineering internship program from the ground up. Pitched it internally and owned recruiting, onboarding and program management made plenty of mistakes (recruiting in december was brutal) but also figured out what works + hired the🐐 @sam_poder!!
I'm giving a talk on open sourcing your Rails startup @ SF Ruby in November: sfruby.com! You should come along!
Join us at the Palace! The team is pouring everything into this event and it’s going to be incredible.

I met my closest friends in high school on @hackclub Slack. Nearly a decade later, I know them irl in SF, building incredible careers. That Slack is an archive of thousands of brilliant young ppl’s early days. @SlackHQ: stop rent-seeking & support the coolest thing on the web!
Slack is threatening to shut off a big nonprofit teen coding community @hackclub (which is amazing and which I’ve helped for years) with just 3 days to migrate off. This would strand thousands of of the world’s smartest future coders. They are asking for $50k (a surprise 60x
Slack is threatening to shut off a big nonprofit teen coding community @hackclub (which is amazing and which I’ve helped for years) with just 3 days to migrate off. This would strand thousands of of the world’s smartest future coders. They are asking for $50k (a surprise 60x nonprofit price increase) but won’t even give assurances of more time or future service if that’s paid. Anyone who can help? Feels like a mistaken decision on their part by someone who isn’t seeing the whole picture.
