Software Engineering
Ship production code, Like An Engineer!
Why you should care?
🔨 Break-then-Fix Drills
Debug intentionally broken features in real time, because that’s what new hires actually do their first week.
🏗️ Legacy Code Rescue
Dive into messy, pre-existing codebases and refactor for performance, learn to read before you write.
🔄 Async Handoffs
Practice crystal-clear commits, PR reviews, and hand-offs across time zones so you can thrive in remote teams.
Overview
In eight high-pressure weeks you’ll debug ugly legacy code, refactor until tests pass, upstream fixes to open-source projects, and push your own features live, before finals week. Startup engineers pair-program with you, run async hand-offs, and treat every GitHub issue like a production fire drill. When it’s over, you won’t just “know React”, you’ll have code in production and PRs merged upstream that anyone can click. By the end you’ll be walking in your interviews like it’s already day one on the job.
