I joined Zone01 Kisumu's Cohort 1 back in March, after making it through the Piscine. A few months in, here's a quick, honest update on where things stand.
What I've actually built
lem-in — an ant colony pathfinding project in Go, done with a teammate. I handled the parser/validation side, he handled the solver. Chased down a nasty BFS bug that kept us from finding the optimal disjoint paths, and fixed an infinite-loop edge case that nearly cost us the deadline.
Groupie Tracker — a Go web app consuming a music artist API. I led this one, and most of the "fun" was in bugs you don't expect: static file serving, route patterns not matching, template fields silently mismatching.
AidStream — a hackathon project, a blockchain-based aid distribution platform. I was the database developer, working with PostgreSQL on Neon.tech.
