has to say.
You guys brought all the big guns. That was insanely good to see the perspectives, hopes and dreams the way you guys prop up builders. F***ing Awesome! A+
I felt the pulse of the community. It inspired me to build with AI. I went home and learnt Claude Code. I loved how supportive the community is to newbies. I felt very safe, heard and seen.
One of the few sessions where we had a serious discussion about AI and its implications for our companies, society, and the country as a whole. It gave me the sense that people outside our builders' bubble genuinely care about our nation's future.
Gave me hope about the state of Malaysian youth and builders — it was so refreshing!
Gave me the idea that I should create similar programme where I can provide opportunity for the school students to learn vibe coding and start building something, and also for myself to try build something on my own.
