Tune in guys!

Perks of being from a tier 3 college: Hunger → No brand name, so you push harder. Freedom → No one cares, you can try anything. Low Pressure → Less judgment, more experiments. Extra Skills → Have to learn beyond syllabus (open source, projects). Networking → Forced to reach out & build genuine connections. Proof > Pedigree → Work/portfolio matters more than degree. Example - You

10/ For young builders: start coding, solve problems, share in public, and stay consistent. @100xSchool Here is link to the pod: piped.video/watch?v=-udp7nFQ…

9/ Setbacks are normal. Failed projects and pivots shaped his path. Persistence wins in tech.

8/ Think global. From day one, Cal.com was built for the world, not one geography.

7/ Network by building. Opportunities followed because people saw his work, not because of cold emails.

6/ Tech + business. Writing code is just one part. Knowing users, community, and distribution is equally key.

5/ Speed beats polish. Execution matters more than waiting for perfection. Ship fast, iterate faster.

4/ Open source = distribution. Making Cal.com open source brought trust, visibility, and global contributors.

3/ Solve your own pain. Cal.com came from Peer’s frustration with scheduling. Build solutions to problems you face.

2/ Start small, but start now. Peer began by building and shipping projects early. Don’t wait for permission or a job title.

1/ Peer Richelsen (@peer_rich) shared his journey as a coder and entrepreneur. If you’re 18–24 and want to get into tech, here’s what you should know 👇

In case you missed the podcast of Peer, @peer_rich founder of Cal.com, with @kirat_tw, here are the takeaways 🧵

5/ Fast forward. Abhishek is now in San Francisco on an O1 Visa, working onsite with Station. The lesson? Don’t ask for referrals. Earn them. Build relentlessly Share publicly Stay humble with expectations Let your work make people want to vouch for you In the end, a referral is not something you ask for. It is something you attract. And when you do, it can take you across the world. @kirat_tw @100xSchool Video link - piped.video/watch?v=2fDSAthU…

4/ Within 2 weeks, he got the offer. A full-time US remote role, That was just the beginning. His performance stood out so much that his manager would ask us: “Do you know anyone as good as Abhishek?”

3/ Even then, things weren’t smooth. First company ghosted him. He didn’t rant. He didn’t quit. He kept building, stayed ready. Second company gave him a trial, but on Angular which he had never touched. He learnt it overnight. Completed every task, even fixed unassigned bugs.

2/ That project put him at the top of our mind. He wasn’t chasing anyone. His work did the chasing. When a US-based company came to us for referrals, guess whose name came first? Abhishek. Because he had already proven he could deliver.

1/ Most people spam DMs asking for referrals. 99% get ignored. Abhishek did the opposite. He never asked directly. He earned it. Towards the end of Cohort 1, we needed a certificate manager tool for folks. We casually asked in Discord: “Can someone build this?”
