most coding platforms test algorithms. recticode tests whether you can debug real systems. we just launched challenge sprint (may 4–31). submit real-world bugs → build a public engineering track record. then we run a global debugging competition in june. recticode[dot]com

redesigned my portfolio how does it look?

my reach is really bad right now can anyone see this?

buildopolis is basically github contributions, but for startups. except the failed ones count too. maybe they count more.

most founders only share their wins. the failed projects taught me more. so i built buildopolis. active startups become buildings. dead startups become ruins. your entire founder journey becomes a shareable pixel city. £5 once. buildopolis.xyz

just realised i can't take part in most of the hackathons on @devpost (because of age restrictions) kinda sad because i was looking forward to taking part in the v0 + aws hackathon

building something new...

i've decided that this summer is less about building startups and more about shipping small profitable side projects. still working on recticode, plus a few other things that can actually make money when they’re done, but with a focus on learning and finishing instead of scaling

didn't know sql was this hard until i had to write this finally realised the power of relationship databases

every project i’ve built didn’t die because the product was bad. they died because no one saw them. i used to think "if it’s good, people will come." they don’t. distribution killed my previous projects. not letting it kill recticode.

we’re running a global debugging hackathon on recticode. real multi-file bugs. public leaderboard. june championship. opening sponsor spots starting at just £10. if you want your brand in front of serious builders without spending thousands, dm or comment.

it's looking really good right now

this is gonna be a good 4 weeks building and launching recticode.com sad that i have school rn and can't go irl @samthekorean

recticode is live. a new way to practise coding: you don’t solve clean problems. you fix broken systems. race conditions queue bugs real-world style code issues each challenge is short, focused, and designed to feel like debugging real production code. link in bio

i built a coding challenge platform where you fix bugs in real codebases instead of solving leetcode-style problems you get a small project, find the issue, then fix it feels way closer to actual dev work fully open source try it: pip install recticode would you use this?

something new's in progress this one's not just a simple website that can be vibecoded by any ai been planning out its architecture for days now check out recticode.com for a sneak peak

been wanting to learn c for ages. finally locked in, ran through cs50x, and wrapped it up in a week. fun grind, learnt a lot. one good thing done this year already.

woah i haven't posted here in a month i need to start posting here again will start now
