Join us

Hi!

Welcome to Move Fast and Break Things: a community where passionate engineers collaborate, experiment, and grow together – fast.

Who are we? We are a group of motivated, self-organized, hardworking, and kind people of very different levels of experience who are passionate about software engineering and product building. Among our members are experienced engineers and leaders such as Ivan Perkhun (Lead DS at BUDU), Irina Kogai (Engineering Lead at YouTalk), and Yurij Mikhalevich (Staff AI Engineering Lead at QA Wolf).

"The community helped gain teamwork experience, master Git, and explore web development. I've tried AI, web, and mobile development here and discovered my true passion," – Danil Ostaptsov

"The community motivates me to work on my project every day," – Ivan Pchelka

What we do? We build fun, cool projects together, like Aibyss – a game where you code an AI to compete in a survival game, – and Minerva – an AI-powered bot that helps us learn more. We also host talks and webinars, and learn new things, like recent advancements in Quantum Computing, all the time!

What will you get if you join us? Opportunity to:

  • build AI-driven and educational projects like Minerva or Aibyss
  • develop full-stack, DevOps, or ML practical skills through hands-on collaboration
  • learn time-saving workflows (e.g., CI/CD, Agile practices) to boost productivity
  • get meaningful feedback during weekly peer code reviews and bi-weekly community meetings to boost your professional growth
  • lead projects and mentor others

Is there a fee? While the opportunities you receive may be expensive elsewhere, joining our community costs $0 USD. This lets us, unlike other communities and courses, value quality of the community members over quantity. We believe all of us can learn from each other regardless of experience or seniority.

What is expected from you? To maintain our $0 USD membership, we ask you to contribute regularly. Every community member is expected to participate in the community projects (or lead new ones), attend and host community meetings and webinars, and participate in and organize community events. We take this very seriously. Members typically contribute 4–6 hours weekly. The best part is that the actual learning, growth, and development happen when you actively do all of these things!
