As part of our current sprint, I've integrated Jira with GitHub, which means Jira issues are now automatically linked with GitHub pull requests. Also created pull request templates that will be used to maintain high PR quality in our repositories. I explain more about each task in the videos below. Here are my PRs for review. Let me know if you have any comments/suggestions: - https://github.com/DeveloperMastery/money-manager-app/pull/9 - https://github.com/DeveloperMastery/money-manager-api/pull/4 Let's also use this as a mid-sprint check in to see where we are and if you guys have any blockers with your tasks 👇

Technical skills alone aren’t enough. Who you work with, how you position yourself, and the offers you say yes or no to all of that shapes your career just as much as your code. That's why I decided to start career advice series. This is the first of many career-focused videos I’ll be adding to the interview preparation guide — my practical insights from real experience. Most devs chase any opportunity that pays. But from my experience, low-budget clients or small companies can be way more stressful than working with well-funded startups or larger teams. In this video, I break down the key differences between high and low-paying clients and share what to look for when choosing your next job or freelance project 💬 Let’s also build this together. What career topic should I cover next? 👇

Based on your suggestions from previous months, we’re making the metrics more trackable and transparent for choosing the winner. Also, I don't want this to be about grinding alone. It should also be about growing while helping others move forward too. Starting now, Dev Mastery Games rewards those who show progress AND make the community better along the way.

Thanks to everyone who made it to the call. Here is the replay of our project kickoff call. Make sure to complete the onboarding steps mentioned there and have your accounts set up before our next call next week. From now on, the project related updates will be shared in the Slack channel there 🚀

We officially have the first members locked in for the very first cohort of the small group mentorship! To kick things off, we’ll be holding our intro call this Sunday. This will be a soft start where we’ll all get to know each other, go over the journey ahead, and set things up. 🗓️ Check out the calendar tab for more details and add it to your calendar. If you can see the link for the meeting and mentorship recordings course in the Classroom, then you're invited for the 1st cohort! It would be great if everyone can make it live, but if you can’t, the recording will be shared afterward so you won’t miss anything. Let’s build something real together 💻🔥
