developer academy

We educate aspiring and experienced software makers on what's next.

We expect each of our students to become the next unicorn indie hackers success story.

We are diverse, we are creative, we are innovative, we are patient calculating entrepreneurs that strike at just the right time.

Perhaps you've been considering paying a software bootcamp $20K to train you to be a wage slave. Trading time for a decent amount of cash, but frankly, not enough given what you give up to get it.

We have a better suggestion. Let us help you find funding to pay for us to educate you on how to ship the product you've been dreaming of building.

Onboarding Message

There is a certain type of engineer that once marketing, sales, funnels, and finance is learned, becomes unstoppable. This type of engineer is a polyglot software engineer. The polyglot engineer has navigated numerous domains and has figured out how to recognize patterns in the industry early. Perhaps this developer started noticing this pattern recognition after learning multiple programming languages, software frameworks, and software platforms. Experienced software engineers start to realize that, once you've seen one SQL database, you've got most of the fundamentals down in order to move to another one with relative ease. The same concept is applicable for search engines. Once an engineer understands how to deal with Solr, ElasticSearch feels easy. Once these higher level toolkits have been understood to a certain degree, now digging into the lower level Lucene engine seems interesting. Contrast that with having tried to get into lucene initially. It would have been easy to give up as it's not an easy domain to pick up without having a lot of context around general use cases.

This same pattern matching concept can be applied when learning about different business domains. Eventually, this type of engineer realizes that there isn't a domain or a sector of technology that can't be understood.

There is a sequence of steps that experienced software engineers go through when learning a new technology. First, a high-level platform is used. It generally requires a few tutorials to get up and running. Once a bit of familiarity is built up, it becomes apparent that when alternatives show up, those will be easy to digest because they will likely have high compatibility with the first platform (i.e. Ethereum -> Polygon -> Avalanche -> Fantom).

Experienced software solution engineers understand how to do shallow research in order to get a handle on the state of a solution domain fairly quickly.

This is the premise behind ɗigitällysmµv developer academy. We build aspiring and experienced software engineers into great researchers that are able to recognize patterns in the industry in order to take part in game changing technologies throughout their career and build interesting businesses from what they learn.

Our fundamentals are

time in the industry which results in an ability to recognize patterns in the industry which ultimately results in accurately timing when a technology is ripe enough to build a product around
Patience and incremental progress
Data driven pre launches to quickly and efficiently test product ideas
Sound mental and physical health practices
Multi-disciplined software development, AKA Polyglot Software Engineering. This opens so many opportunities such as career pivots and quick domain switching.

Technologies

We are forward focused. There is a time and place for boring legacy technologies; however, we strongly believe in focusing our efforts on game changing emerging technologies
We strongly believe in understanding core concepts which opens the door for developers to easily stack switch as needed.
It is extremely satisfying to be privy to next level technologies before your peers even hear about them. You'll see many opportunities to become an expert in game changing technologies before the technology gets to critical mass.

Entrepreneurship

Becoming a polyglot software engineer is lucrative, highly sought after, and coveted; as such, transforming into a polyglot software engineer provides a level of satisfaction that is unparalleled when compared to W2 or 1099 software development. ɗigitällysmµv software engineers are self-sufficient in their ability to build multiple passive and semi-passive income streams in order to achieve financial freedom as an on-ramp to building generational wealth.
We strongly believe W2 software development should not be the main source of income; however, we do believe in and support the idea of utilizing W2 software roles as a way to gain inside knowledge of domains one may not otherwise be privy to which also provides yet another source of income. It is particularly satisfying to be able to have a six-figure backup plan just in case. Furthermore, at a certain level of experience, these jobs will start to fall into one's lap. Recruiters will be beating down your door and CEOs buy you lunch, dinner and fly you in to pitch you on the idea of working with them.
There are many potential sources of income for software engineers to tap into. A few of the obvious options are book publishing, public speaking, mobile apps, startup advisor, digital course creator, 1-1 coach/mentor, technical writing, blogging, YouTube Channel, and podcasting. The more active the developer, the more opportunities open up.

Nomadic Lifestyle

All you need is a laptop and a backpack because you can do this job from anywhere.
There will be opportunities to travel all over the world to network, show off your latest inventions, give key note speeches, and give back to your home community.

Additional Benefits

Experienced software engineers enjoy the benefit of becoming expert researchers, experts at breaking down complex problems into more manageable problems, and experts at learning how to learn.
It's hard to fathom ahead of time the types of domains that you'll encounter which you'd have never been privy to outside of software engineering. It can and will make you a more curious person and ultimately, a more interesting person.

Inspiration

Community

We won't leave you hanging like many bootcamps. If you are struggling, there is an entire network of alums and active dev entrepreneurs waiting to help you. As a software engineer, the more you help others learn, the more you learn and solidify the things you think you know. It builds confidence so it is a mutual benefit.

Funding

Investors

Angel Connect

We curate a network of interested investors, advisors, and mentors in order to ensure you are well funded and successful from the jump.

As part of your onboarding, investors evaluate your ideas and help shape your pitch before you even start learning to code.

Execution

Most bootcamps will force you to study alone for months befor they'll accept you into their program; then, you give them a huge sum of money in hopes that the program's style will work for you. There's really no way to know for sure until you are deep into the program. Building, shipping, marketing, and selling software isn't what people think it is on the surface. There are a lot of moving parts and you'll only understand this once you get into it. This is why we help you firm up your pitch because you need to be sure you are building something you are passionate about; otherwise, you'll just quit and you'll be out of a lot of money or you'll be pushing through a program that you don't really want to be in but you'll do it just because of the fact that you've already spent money.

Most bootcamps, even the ones that call themselves full-stack, don't really give you a full picture of what the full-stack really is. They'll even tell you that there's no such thing as a true full-stack developer. This is to discourage you from hodling them more accountable for a more thorough education.

They don't go over software hardening, security, releases, upgrades, maintenance, how to handle outages, monitoring, telemetry and instrumentation. We do.

Is this possible?

The better question is the following. Why isn't anyone else doing this? The answer is. Because it's hard. So why is digitallysmuv.dev doing it? The answer to that question is ... because this is our passion and what we've been working 20+ years in the industry to understand how to do.

Open Source

Open source is a competitive advantage. We encourge our startups to embrace open-source by releasing all of the non-secret sauce bits into the open.

Contributors & Bounties

Since most of your infrastructure is open-sourced, we encourage you to leverage the open community by putting out bounties to improve your software.
