Hey, there! Long time no see. I know it’s a Thursday, but I’m putting this one out today since it’s been a while, and we crossed 1K subscribers today; yay us! 😻
I’ve been a bit busy in my test preparations, interviews, and bringing some great opportunities for you all to figure out your interests via careful exploration. I hope you can forgive me for the inactivity. :)
This is just an update newsletter of sorts where I won’t be providing any specific advice but some incredible opportunities that my team and I could find on the Internet just for YOU.
So let’s get to it, shall we?
BTW…We crossed 1000 subscribers on Substack, and I can’t begin to explain how thankful I am to have you as a part of this journey. To celebrate this milestone, I have many opportunities and resources in store for you that can help you explore better.
MichiSpotlight also has a discord community. If you need any help regarding anything tech-related, feel free to shoot your questions on the server. You can also network with various other developers from around the world via this platform. Do leverage it :)
