Here are a few things that I cherish personally

Krishnakanth - Competition

Competition.

I always had an innate pleasure for a good contest. This is why I enjoyed hacks and running a club. They've always urged to outgrow me and when I grow, my community grows with me.

Krishnakanth - Community

The Bro Code.

To me a “bro” is any person who shares the same vision, helps you out in situation (small or big) and someone who’ll have your back. By my definition, we’re all “bros”.
