It felt far better to speak my application than to type it. Thanks.

I’ve been running a small mentorship program called ConnecMent, where developers learn by contributing to real-world projects in small teams. We’re starting a new “Reignite” era after a pause.
Participants can join existing projects (AI, blockchain, tools) or propose their own. There’s a structured process, async + sync collaboration, and a final demo day. The program is free, with a ~10hr/week commitment over ~3–4 months.
Looking for devs who want to grow through practice and collaboration.
Happy to answer questions here.
Any TL;DR? It's a long pdf :D
I struggled to understand a proper use case for EVM CREATE2 opcode, so I created the little project "Amore". I created it to show some gratitude to my beloved ones, by solving the puzzle of finding an EVM address (by CREATE2, of course) that ends in specific characters, say a name, and putting a gratitude message in that address. Let me know if you find it interesting, and I may put some time on adding a minimal UI for it. The contract is live on Base mainnet: https://basescan.org/address/0x5b399bb97b9870b460f5bf9fbfb20...
It's not as battery-hungry as official Docker desktop. That's the main reason I switched to it. Now, I'm happier than before.
