Our Mission
We want to change the way developers approach continuous learning by making code discovery an unavoidable, rewarding daily habit.
The Problem with Modern Engineering
Think about how people master other creative crafts. Writers read voraciously. Filmmakers watch thousands of hours of cinema. Musicians study the compositions of the greats.
However, in software engineering, there is a pervasive and toxic culture of isolation. Most developers only ever read the code they write, or the code their immediate team writes at work. They operate in a silo, missing out on the vast, incredible wealth of knowledge available in the open-source community.
Why We Built Repo Dive
We built Repo Dive to solve this problem programmatically. We realized that if we wanted developers to read more code, we needed to bring the code to them, and we needed to make it feel rewarding.
By utilizing the GitHub API, we automate the discovery of high-quality, production-ready repositories that match your specific interests. We then commit these directly to a private archive on your account.
The Result?
- ✓Your GitHub contribution graph lights up, signaling to recruiters and peers that you are actively engaged in the craft.
- ✓You are forced to confront new architectures, design patterns, and testing strategies you would have never seen at your day job.
- ✓You build a highly organized, searchable archive of reference code for your future projects.
