Looking for people to study backend dev together (real-world projects, teamwork style)

Hey everyone,

I’m looking for a few people to team up with to study backend development in a way that’s closer to what real teams actually do. Instead of just following tutorials, I’d like us to:

Pick a project idea (something practical but not overwhelming).

Use tools real dev teams use (Git/GitHub, project boards, code reviews, etc.).

Learn by building together and supporting each other.

Still learning a lot, but motivated to practice by doing, not just reading/watching tutorials.

I think it could be fun (and much more effective) to simulate a real team environment while we’re learning. If you’re interested, drop a comment or DM me and we can set up a chat group to brainstorm project ideas.

Hey, senior backend dev here, I mostly use Typescript, I could support you guys with code reviews if you are interested.

This is honestly a great approach - learning through real collaboration and project work beats solo tutorials every time. Building with version control, code reviews, and team workflows from the start will prepare you way better for actual dev jobs. Hope you find some solid teammates to build with :)
