I recently quit LinkedIn after reaching 2.5k followers

It became unbearable

More importantly, it did not have my audience of interest

Builders sit here and on Twitter

2 years ago today, I left my job to learn to code

2022: I learnt to code, built projects

2023: I applied for jobs, and interviewed, but didn't get hired

I haven't contributed anything monetary to my family and I feel ashamed to say so

With the dev hiring market still being in bad shape, my best bet is to:

-Build products in public, grab eyeballs, and maybe someone hires me for my dev skills

-If any of the products work, try to make money through it

Starting tomorrow, when people would take challenges such as NNN, or no shave nov.

I wish to just challenge myself to not give up, build and share ( write )

I plan to write a long-form article every day and then use it to create smaller digestible content for posting on

Reddit, Indie hackers, Twitter, Medium

I follow a guy on Twitter who has grown tremendously in the past few months and he says, "Lone wolves die on X"

I am looking for 2 more wolves like me who are hungry, wish to make money, believe in build-in-public or simply writing to grow and just get out of the situation they are in right now

Let me make this clear, I am not asking for us to work on some product together,

I plan to form a group where we share resources, we push each other

We help each other grow

Not necessary that you're a developer, you could be anyone, in the comments mention your age and if you would want to become a part and why

I will help you as much as I can, moreover, this is FREE, and if it does not seem to work after 2-3 weeks, we can simply quit, no harm for anyone.

There are 2 months left for this year to end, I am broke rn, and if there's one thing I know right now, it's that when this year ends, I won't be broken.

If interested - Age, why you would be interested

If not interested - Tell me what I can do right now, I am a developer working on a code boilerplate-based product and will also offer MVP services with post-build marketing and outreach direction

21M, Why? I'm in my last year of BCA (Bachelor in computer application) and haven't built any worthy project for showcasing them on my resume, mostly because I was distracted by family problems, and i really want to step up to learn and make really good projects, so I'd really like to have a group which keeps me motivated.
