About Developers' Gym:
We understand that developers (especially junior devs) needs practice and hands-on experience to pick up new technology and knowledge. Just as we need a workout gym to exercise our bodies, we need a developers' gym to exercise our coding skills and to level up our knowledge. This helps us in communicating new tech knowledge horizontally (with our pees) and vertically (with our supervisors).
