CommunityFARZA / MAKE SOMETHING

A Film byVikrant PatankarMusicTorin Borrowdale

Make Something is a community built around one question: what happens when someone who has never coded gets a tool that codes for them? Farza and Julian answered it live — a Discord, a few YouTube streams, and an open invite to the world.
Over 700 people shipped their first project in under two weeks. A 55-year-old mother who had never touched code told her son she was busy — she had something to finish and ship. Great things start by looking really silly. That's the whole point.
