TL;DR
Welcome back to Dev Opportunity Radar.
This is a weekly series where I share opportunities, resources, communities, and interesting finds ...

Hema di, I won't be adding any new hacks for this week, also, I missed another issue of IND-TECH-WEEKLY😔.
Cause I'm preparing for my exams a week after and the Hacktoberest Event simultaneously.😅
But hope you have a great week!😄
Of course, no problem at all, bhai. All the best with both your exams and Hacktoberfest! You’ve got this 🙌 And don’t worry about the Radar or IND-TECH-WEEKLY, focus on your exams first. Hope you have a great week too 😀
Hema, 19 editions in, that is real consistency. Graph Hacks is a direct fit for me this time. The Agent Memory and Coordination track matches my MCP and retrieval work closely. To answer your question, I would love to see more hackathons built around agent infrastructure and memory systems, not just agent apps on top of someone else's stack. That is the layer I work in most. Thank you for still doing this every Friday.
Thank you so much, Daniel 😀 I’ll keep this in mind for sure while searching, and if I come across anything like this, I’ll include it!
to Pear Prime back in 2025 cycle — the screening round took 11 days just to get a response, so anyone considering it should plan around that lag, not the posted timeline. The Hacktoberfest listing is solid but the real value for first-timers is picking repos with
good first issuelabels that actually have maintainers who review PRs. I wasted two weeks on a repo where the maintainer went silent after merge.Thank you for sharing this 😀 I didn’t know about the 11-day response time for Pear Prime, and the Hacktoberfest tip is really helpful too.
Thank you so much for doing this! I'm sure it takes a ton of work. Your efforts are greatly appreciated. Congrats to 19 editions!
Thank you so much 🧡 It definitely takes some time, but seeing readers find something useful through the Radar makes it all worth it 😃
These are some of my most favorite content on this site and i eagerly wait for these.
Thank you so much, Kanak! Means a lot to me 😀
What opportunities, communities, grants, fellowships, hackathons, conferences, or resources have you come across recently that deserve more attention?
I'm always looking for things to include in future editions, so feel free to share anything interesting you've found. If I feature one of your finds in a future edition, I'll always make sure to credit you.
If you discovered an opportunity through the radar, applied to something, joined a community, attended an event, or simply found something you hadn't seen before, I'd genuinely love to hear about that too. With your permission, I'd be happy to feature your update in a future 💙 Reader Updates section.
Small request: If you are sharing a link, please avoid posting raw URLs directly. DEV sometimes filters them before I get a chance to see the comment.
Also, We’re already 19 editions in!
I wanted to ask you all something. What kind of opportunities would you love to see more of in the Radar?
More Fellowships? Hackathons? AI opportunities? Learning programs? Communities? Or something completely different?
I can’t promise I’ll be able to find more of a specific type, since it really depends on what’s available and whether I think it’s actually useful enough to include. But if you tell me what you’d like to see more of, I’ll definitely keep it in the back of my mind while I’m searching each week.
Even if just a few of you share what you’re looking for, it would mean a lot to me.
Wow 19 editions already!! Congrats!
Thanks for sharing, I will try to read How to Scale Your Model.
Thank you for being here and supporting the Radar from the very beginning, Julien 💙
Hope you enjoy the "How to Scale Your Model" book 😀
Huge congrats on 19 editions, Hemapriya! That level of weekly consistency is incredible.
Highlighting "How to Scale Your Model" is great. Most AI content stays stuck at basic prompting, so finding material that actually covers the systems engineering side like sharding, GPU communication, and tensor parallelism is really refreshing.
To answer your question on what to feature next: I would love to see more hackathons and programs focused on backend infrastructure, distributed data pipelines, and systems engineering. Thanks for putting this together every Friday!
Thank you 😀 I will keep this in mind for sure while searching, and if I come across anything like this, I will include it!
