Real stories from real people who’ve transformed their careers and lives through our community
It struck me because I had never heard of a community that would encourage youths like us to be consistent with our work. But this community was different because the people behind it are actually working on building something meaningful. It was the gentle push I didn’t know I needed.
The co-working/building-together vibe drew me in. One thing I’m really proud of is how much the community works together toward a common goal. You could be writing a blog while someone else is building a microcontroller — all in the same group.
This isn’t just a community, it’s a training ground to become better. I used to struggle with consistency and I didn’t have a formal place to share my progress. This community provided me with that platform to fix both these problems.
I wanted to learn from people who’ve been through the same journey. The monthly challenges helped me make real progress. I’m proud of all the useful advice I’ve gotten, whether it’s about talking to clients or planning my career. I feel like I’m growing every day.
The guidance and workshops by Saqib Tahir have helped me see certain aspects of my work life from a completely different perspective. I developed the habit of writing technical writeups. This has helped me showcase my work.
The monthly challenge kept me consistent and I was able to not only prepare for the HackTheBox Certified Penetration Testing Specialist exam, but also passed it. A friendly environment that helps you push yourself towards your goals.
Since joining, it’s helped me stay focused, take consistent action, and build a successful freelancing career. I grew my Upwork profile and landed clients — something that felt out of reach before. One of the few communities where people actually show up.
A really great place and people are very helpful. I have learnt a lot about business and strategies that helped me move forward. So many resources about how to optimize your business and build a system that will help your growth.

Despite being in the cybersecurity field for two years, this was the first time I felt like I was learning deeply and consistently, without burning out or losing motivation. I’d recommend this space to anyone looking to push themselves and grow.
The server has provided me with lots of growth opportunities, giving me chances to interact with seniors to learn about what many people in my current state lack. The 30 day challenges gave me a great opportunity to develop my consistency.
I got the ability to stick to a single goal for a decent amount of time. I would recommend this community to someone who is struggling with lack of dedication and discipline because the people of this community can make you a disciplined person.
I found this community through Saqib. I have been a better designer and worked on some awesome projects. This server is for everyone who wants to do cool things in their life. Cause why not?
Before joining, I had a pattern of starting something, losing interest, taking a break, and jumping to something entirely different. The challenge gave me a sense of accountability. Seeing others commit made me feel responsible for following through.
There’s so much knowledge being shared, and it’s great to hear real experiences from people who’ve been through it. The 30-day challenge helped me a lot. I’d recommend this space to anyone who feels stuck in a cycle of trying to upskill but not getting anywhere.
I’ve gained a solid understanding of project management, client communication, defining scope and requirements, and confidently discussing details on client calls. This community is full of people willing to help and mentor you.
The 30 Day challenge helped me in showing my work instead of working in a silo like I used to. Through TWP, I found friends that cheered when most around me were quiet. All the while having fun learning and sharing things I enjoy.

Building Alone Feels Heavy
Limited Feedback
You pour hours into something, but no one’s there to give feedback.
Resources Overload
You drown in resources, tutorials, and endless “best practices.”
Creeping Isolation
You lose momentum when nobody notices if you show up…or don’t.
Analysis Paralysis
You get overwhelmed by choices, leading to stalled projects and unrealized potential.
Lack of Guidance
Without the right mentors and resources, navigating challenges becomes difficult.
Impostor’s Shadow
You doubt your skills, wondering if you’re “good enough” to build something meaningful.
With peers beside you.
With mentors ahead of you.
A community for builders of products, projects, and portfolios.
But, I hope it will become your home —
A home for folks driven by passion for creating.
A home for folks who want to succeed in their journey.

No and Yes.
We talk about career and freelancing a lot in the server. And it certainly helps one to get better opportunities over time.
But the primary focus is education and enablement around these topics.
This is NOT a job hunting server.
We do have some opportunities come infrequently which folks have leveraged to upskill in various fields. But a better use of this community would be to learn how to be a better professional.
The server is divided into 3 types of channels.
Channels for general topical discussions such as movies, music, games, and cars.
Channels for domain specific discussions such as software development, design, product management, infosec, etc.
Voice Channels for discussions and working or playing together.
If you become an active member you can pitch new ideas by leaving feedback within the server for Admins. This is a fresh and growing server, so you can be the one responsible for it reaching scale.
Yes!
We run weekly workshops for Career, Freelancing, and Business discussions. The agenda is currently open, but as we get more members we plan to solidify the content.
To find a mentor, engage actively in the server’s channels, share your goals, and express your interest in mentorship.
You can also reach out directly to experienced members or use specific channels dedicated to mentorship discussions. We also have senior members who have agreed to mentorship workshops on an as needed basis.
You can share your product ideas in the relevant channels. Be specific about what kind of feedback you are looking for, whether it’s about the concept, design, or market fit.
If you would like to build a Product from scratch, we can assign you a dedicated thread where you can show your progress and get feedback as you go.
The server hosts various channels where members share articles, tutorials, and tools related to product development. You can also ask for recommendations from experienced members or mentors who may have valuable insights.
Absolutely! The server encourages collaboration. You can post in project-specific channels to find others interested in partnering on your project or to seek assistance with specific tasks.

Consider discussing your validation strategy in the server’s mentorship or feedback channels.
Members can provide insights on market research techniques, user interviews, and prototyping methods to help you refine your idea before launching into development.
