Important announcement, now more people can win!

WeMakeDevs is running its biggest hackathon yet with $20,000 in cash prizes.

A lot of people have been asking how to even start, especially beginners. Did you know that around 50% of participants in our events are doing their first-ever hackathon? When I was a freshman, I was terrified just looking at the Kubernetes repository but I started anyway, and that’s how I eventually became a contributor.

To make things fairer and give more people a chance to win, we’ve increased the prizes. Instead of 3 winning teams, now 5 teams will win 🏆

There’s more flexibility in which tools you can use, you can apply to multiple tracks to boost your chances, and there are non-tech tracks too like open-source best practices so even beginners can win.

And the best part: everyone who registers gets access to a private Google Summer of Code ☀️ mentorship session where I’ll answer your questions directly.

A tiny DNS glitch once took down a big part of the internet for 15 hours.

Check out Honeycomb: fandf.co/48ePPkx

In my latest video, I break down what that outage teaches us about modern systems and why observability matters more than ever in the AI era.

I just built this little 3D globe that follows your mouse pointer, and I did it with a single prompt using an open-source AI coding agent. Not Cursor, not Claude. Try it out for free: fandf.co/43r0y8A

AI in real systems can go crazy so fast 😂

Low-key worth checking out: fandf.co/4mVN0Jd

Teleport’s Secure MCP is basically the “bro, relax” system, it limits what AI can touch, for how long, and records every move so nothing goes rogue.
