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.

Who is the program for?

  1. You are currently enrolled in the university/Bootcamp
  2. You’ve got basic Programming experience (Web, Mobile, JS, Python, etc.)
  3. You’ve majoring/minoring in core CS topics
  4. You want to build relevance in the industry
