We're here to help each other succeed.
Share your progress, wins, failures, and questions openly.
If you know the answer, share it. We rise together.
No "stupid questions." Everyone was a beginner once.
Finished 100 days with deep learning > rushed through checking boxes.
Disagree on ideas, not people. Stay professional.
DO:
✅ Treat everyone with respect ✅ Give constructive feedback ✅ Assume good intentions ✅ Be patient with beginners
DON'T:
❌ Insult, mock, or belittle anyone ❌ Use discriminatory language ❌ Attack people for not knowing something ❌ Be condescending ("obviously," "just," "simply")
