Developer KlausCodes shared that in 2022 he was in India, about to give up on tech, until he met Ayush Garg and Eduard Faus and did a hackathon with them. Learning to build things alongside the two changed his life, he says, posting before/after photos roughly 4.5 years apart — from an online video call back then to an in-person reunion now. "Doing a hackathon with them was the best decision I've ever made."
