- Software Developer building something new

Hello, Developers,

We are hiring! As usual, I’ll be revealing what's happening on Showwcase, the latest features, and interesting resources for the community on engineering, technology, and finance. I NEVER spam you. And if you’d like to unsubscribe, no hard feelings if you want to keep your mailbox clean.

As many of you know, I am building Showwcase, a network optimised for developers to hang out and find new opportunities together as a community. Feel free to explore it here:

Onward!

What’s new on Showwcase

Hackfest DemoDay!

Finalists!

DemoDay 2023

Hello, Developers,

Hackfest has come to an end and we have 8 AMAZING DEMO DAY FINALISTS! We ran our first Hackfest for interesting ideas to flourish around developers. Projects for developers, by developers. In total we had almost 3000 registrants at Hackfest2023 and it was a fantastic month!

With the successful completion of Hackfest, we're now on to Demo Day which is happening on June 16th, 2023 at 6:30 PM IST, 9pm SGT, 9am ET (TOMORROW). 8 finalists will be presenting their projects before our judges and community members live for everyone to see!

DemoDay: Win prizes. Select the Winners. Bonus goodies.

Tomorrow night we will be running a few interactive quizzes for the community to win prizes. You will also get to participate in the community scoring process and decide who the winner of Hackfest will be! The community score will be tallied alongside the scores of the judges so we can decide who the winner will be.

ELITE is still hiring!

Join the Elite Collective on Showwcase

The Elite Collective is a community comprised of senior and experienced developers. Being a member gives you access to our private communities, in-person events, and most importantly jobs and projects curated for Elite members!

Showwcase works with many partner companies to help build their developer teams to work on projects. As an Elite, you’ll get access to these full-time job opportunities with better compensation and career growth. We do all the hard work of finding you opportunities so you can focus on what you do best - building products and services. If at any time your project nears completion or your role at a given company is no longer needed, we find you your next opportunity within weeks.

To join Elite, you’ll need to have a Showwcase profile. Once you’re set up, apply to one of our Elite roles according to your skill: React, Flutter, Go etc. We review them and if you’re a good fit for Elite, we’ll invite you to come do a call with us, complete skill assessments, and some live interviews. This should take around about 3-4 hours! Once done and successful, you join our Elite collective and get all its benefits.

As an Elite Collective Member, we do all the heavy lifting for you. We find great opportunities, negotiate salary, and handle contracts with different leading companies and startups around the world and offer them to you to work on. These jobs are full-time roles and you’ll get to work with the modern processes with good pay.

Why join Elite? We believe the traditional way of looking for jobs is broken. Developers have to complete skill assessments over and over again for every company applied to, we need to submit at least 5 links to represent who we are (LinkedIn, Resume, Github, Blog, Portfolio, and more?), and companies are terrible at responding to developers even after we’ve completed all these steps. Worse, most of the time the interview process has nothing to do with what we’ll actually be doing on the job! It’s incredibly frustrating. Oh, and doing sales and marketing of who we are to find the right company to hire us is not fun.

If you’re interested please check out the Elite opportunities on Showwcase.

As usual, if you ever wanna chat, my DMs are open!
