“Don’t expect people to believe in you, if they don’t even believe in themselves” - 50cent Shoutout to the #parisdevdayhack builders who made it to DevDay Exchange!! 🌟 & to EVERYONE who participated: I BELIEVE IN YOU I only came to Paris 6 months ago. In that time, people at my events went from their very first projects to - building their own robots 🤖 - landing top tech jobs 👩‍💻 - Getting investments in their startups 📈 (some more than half a milli 🤑) to be honest, for some of them, I really didn’t expect it! 😅 Seeing all of you grow makes me believe in people earlier. Even to those who just did their first hackathon, no matter where you are on your journey right now: dream bigger, keep pushing, keep building on the weekends take good care of yourself. And for the seasoned builder: Be generous Teach the kids Uplift each other Like @paw_lean and @wulfie_bain_ do!! 🫶 Together we will change the world 🫶 (Ps. I know some of y’all missed the picture moment send your best DevDay Paris selfies below 🌟🔥🚀 @daniellkumlin wya!? ) (P.p.s: London DevDay hack by @Andy_AJT up next see you there!! 🇬🇧💷)
