Which type of project concept would you like the next Bounty to be about?
After 10 years Wroking in London, here’s the play for Malaysians who want to work with UK SMEs in data, software dev, and marketing — without moving there. What UK SMEs actually outsource UK small businesses (especially <10 people) constantly need help with: - Data: dashboards, reporting, automation, cleaning - Software dev: internal tools, client portals, lightweight SaaS - Marketing: landing pages, email, ads, content They don’t care where you live. They care: “Can you solve my problem and show proof?” That’s where your portfolio and outreach come in. How to find them Here’s a simple outbound system you can run from Malaysia: 1. Go on LinkedIn and search for: - “Founder” / “Owner” / “Managing Director” - Filter by UK, company size: 1–10 employees, and industries you understand. 2. Click into the companies: - Check if they look like they use digital tools but clearly have gaps (messy website, no analytics, manual processes, weak marketing). 3. Build a simple list: - Company name - Website - Founder/Director/CEO name - LinkedIn profile URL - Email (if visible on website) This becomes your UK SME target list. How to reach out (and what to offer) Don’t overcomplicate it. Your angle: “I help small teams do more with data/software/marketing — low friction, high value.” Example DM/email structure: - Line 1: Personal relevance “Hey [Name], saw [Company] on LinkedIn and loved what you’re doing in [industry].” - Line 2: Observed problem “Noticed you’re likely juggling a lot with a small team — especially around [data/software/marketing].” - Line 3: Clear offer “I help small UK companies like yours with [dashboards / internal tools / landing pages etc.] so you get [result: clearer numbers, fewer manual tasks, more leads].” - Line 4: Low-risk hook “If you’re open to it, I can do a free 1-week trial where I [build X / clean up Y / set up Z] so you can see if it’s useful — no obligation.” - Line 5: Simple CTA “Want me to send 2–3 ideas tailored to your business?” You’re not begging for a job. You’re offering a test drive. Why small teams & free trial? - Small teams move fast, don’t have procurement drama. - They feel the pain of messy data, broken tools, and weak marketing more intensely. - A free 1-week trial removes risk and shows you’re confident in your skills. Do this consistently: - 20–30 targeted messages per day - Tight portfolio with 3–5 strong examples - Follow-ups that add value (small loom video, quick audit, a simple dashboard mockup) You only need a few yeses to change your income.
There’s a lot of talk about "Vibe Coding" right now—using Cursor, Lovable, or Bolt to prompt entire apps into existence without touching much boilerplate. On one hand, it’s a superpower. We’re shipping features in 10 minutes that used to take 10 hours. We’re "architects" now, not just "syntax writers." On the other hand... are we losing the "soul" of engineering? If the AI hallucinates a security flaw or an inefficient database query, and the builder doesn't know how to read the underlying code to fix it, are we just building houses of cards? I want to hear from the Kracked community: 1. Do you think a "Vibe Coder" who has never learned syntax can be a "Senior Developer" in 2026? 2. What’s one thing you’ve built recently that you honestly wouldn’t have been able to code without AI help? 3. Where do you draw the line? (e.g., "I vibe code the UI, but I manually write the Auth/Logic"). Let’s settle this: Is the "syntax-first" developer becoming obsolete, or are they more important than ever? ⚔️
> KrackedDevs is building Malaysia’s boldest builder ecosystem: a live map of developers, creators, and tinkerers in every state, all learning AI‑powered software by actually shipping projects. Our mission is simple: Turn hidden talent — gig drivers, fresh grads, kampung kids, career‑switchers — into confident builders who can solve real problems for their communities and the country. Why State Ambassadors? To make this real, we need local anchors: people who know their state, its scenes, and its builders. KrackedDevs State Ambassadors help us light up every corner of Malaysia so that when a GLC, SME, or agency needs talent, there’s a ready pool of real builders, not just CVs. We’re hiring 1 paid, part‑time Ambassador in each state: Johor, Kedah, Kelantan, Melaka, Negeri Sembilan, Pahang, Perak, Perlis, Penang, Sabah, Sarawak, Selangor, and Terengganu (RM1,000/month). Your job: connect local builders, run weekly vibe‑coding sessions, and grow a real on‑the‑ground community around AI‑powered software building.  What Ambassadors Do - Host weekly “vibe coding” sessions in your state (online or IRL). - Keep a pulse on your state’s builders: what they’re working on, what they need, who’s stuck. - Onboard new people weekly who can code (or are actively learning) and are happy to stream two nights a week. - Organise casual weekly coffee meetups so builders can connect face‑to‑face. - Champion KrackedDevs to potential users, local companies, SMEs, and GLCs who need talent. - Reach out to local/state government, agencies, and hubs to explore collaborations and opportunities. - Share regular updates with the KD core team about what’s happening in your state. - Report back to the core KD team weekly, and figure out how to make each week better than the last. Who We’re Looking For - You love AI, Vibe Coding, and want to bring AI to everyone in your state! - You’re based in the state you want to represent and plugged into local tech / student / startup / maker circles. - You enjoy bringing people together and making them feel welcome. - You’re comfortable speaking in English and Bahasa Malaysia (other dialects are a bonus). - You’re active online (X, Threads, Discord, etc.) and not shy to post, stream, or host. - You can commit to a part‑time role at RM1,000/month for at least 3–6 months. - You have stable internet and a decent machine, and you’re willing to learn any tools needed for streaming and community work. 3‑Day Trial Task (How We Choose Ambassadors) Instead of just interviews, we run a simple 3‑day trial that mirrors the actual work. Day 1 – Find your builders - Invite at least 5 local builders from your state into KrackedDevs spaces (Discord/Threads/WhatsApp etc.). - Post a short “state check‑in” on your socials (e.g. “Any builders in Johor? Here’s what we’re doing this week with KrackedDevs”) and tag KD. - Send me screenshots: who you invited, where you found them, and links to your posts. DM me on Discord, @enonforetsam [https://discordapp.com/users/562974638603370497](https://discordapp.com/users/562974638603370497) Day 2 – Run a tiny vibe‑coding session - Host a 30–60 minute micro‑session (online is fine) with whoever you pulled in. - Do something simple: co‑build a small feature, fix bugs, or walk through an AI‑coding workflow. - Send a short recap (3–5 bullets): who joined, what you did, what you’d improve next time. Day 3 – Tell the story and think ahead - Post a recap: “What we did this week in [State] with KrackedDevs” plus a clear CTA to join. - Do one lightweight outreach to an institution (uni club, startup, hub, agency, state‑linked org) to introduce KrackedDevs and share the message you sent. - Fill a short form/doc: links to posts, screenshots, people you brought in, and your 5–7 bullet “next 30 days in my state” plan. From this, we can see who can actually move people, communicate clearly, and think like a state‑level community builder in just 72 hours. How to Apply - Share a short intro below in the replies: who you are, which state, and why you care about building Malaysia’s builders. - Include your social links (X/Threads/LinkedIn/etc.) and any communities you already help run. - Tell us one concrete idea you’d execute in your first month as a KrackedDevs Ambassador in your state. We’re looking for people who don’t just talk about community, but can actually create momentum where they live. For any questions, DM me (Danial) on Discord, @enonforetsam [https://discordapp.com/users/562974638603370497](https://discordapp.com/users/562974638603370497)
Hi everyone! First of all, I want to extend a massive thank you to every single one of you who participated in our first ever Krackathon. We saw 38 submissions on our very first try and that is far beyond what we imagined, and the quality of work has been truly inspiring. I also want to personally apologize for any technical hurdles or "buggy" moments you encountered during the submission process. While we are technically in beta, I take full ownership for not having every corner of the system battle-tested for an event of this scale. Thank you for your patience and for sticking with us through the growing pains. As the developer for [KrackedDevs.com](http://KrackedDevs.com), my goal is to build the most robust and mature platform possible for our community. To do that, I need your "unfiltered" input. Whether it's a critique of the UI, a recommendation for the next hackathon, or a specific bug you found, please let me know in the comments below. Your feedback is the fuel that will help KD level up. Best regards, Jinbei
I've been thinking Current AI and LLM'S do not understand words, their meaning or the knowledge behind them. They see them in mathematical code only as that's the only language machines currently understand. Tokens as they call it assign an id to words, in pretraining learned to match to each-other. So love is 567 and you 78. But 567 doesn't explain what it fundamentally means what love it, the definition, true use, synonyms, homonyms or association. It just statistically guesses the best matches to closest other id tokens for best output to your query. In current LLM'S very accurately and with seemingly good responses. But still no understanding of what and why it said it. It's like a human reading a scientific paper infront of an audience he didn't write in a field he isn't in. Yeah it's brilliant, but he doesn't even know what he's saying. Is he now very intelligent and a good reasoner?
Who's Joining Todays Krackathon??? All the best, stay KRACKEDDD
