👥 Community
👥 Community
This is more than a bootcamp — it’s a community. Here’s how we operate.
📜 Community guidelines
Be helpful. Someone helped you when you were stuck. Pay it forward.
Be honest. “I don’t know” is a perfectly good answer. Pretending wastes everyone’s time.
Be patient with beginners. Everyone was new at some point. The person asking “stupid questions” today is the person hiring you in 5 years.
Be kind. West African tech is small. Reputation travels.
