College isn’t just about grades or diplomas it’s a launchpad 🚀
I’ve never been around so many curious minds, spontaneous ideas, and people who are still brave enough to experiment without fear of failure.
The university environment is underrated for technical growth.
You're in a space where everyone is learning, building, and asking:
“How does this work?” 🤔
And that energy is contagious.
You don’t need to wait for a job to become a developer.
The best time to start growing technically is when you're already surrounded by people who want to grow with you.
Most of my freshers ask me the same thing:
“How can I break into the market faster?” 💼
And I get it everyone wants to gain experience, build a career, feel ready.
But here’s what they don’t always realize:
👉 You can get real experience while you’re still in college.
Who hasn’t been caught in a hallway conversation and heard something like:
🗣️ “Bro, imagine if we built an app that did this…”
🧪 “I just found this crazy new library, wanna try it out?”
🚢 “It doesn’t need to be perfect let’s just launch and see what happens.”
Those moments are gold. ✨
Some of the best developers I know didn’t wait to be “ready”
they just started.
And college gave them the perfect playground to do it. 🎮👨💻

Enjoy your time during college/graduation and thrive to keep the same energy after! You can find later some solace in a Masters or shorter immersive education programs, but it doesn't come without trade-offs (job, family, house...).
thanks for motivation.
That creative energy is so real - I still remember random hallway brainstorms turning into projects that actually shipped. Curious, what's the coolest thing you built with classmates?
I've worked on many exciting projects, but my favorite one has to be Subject Assignment. It was a platform designed to rate college subjects and professors focused to help students make better informed choices about their academic paths
