Why DevCo exists
I started learning frontend development the way most people do — copying tutorials, breaking layouts, and refreshing the browser until something finally looked right. Over time, that curiosity turned into something I genuinely wanted to share.
DevCo is my space to document that journey. I teach web development at school, and I've noticed the same questions come up again and again: how do you structure a React project, when should you reach for Next.js, and how do you actually ship something instead of endlessly tweaking it? Writing forces me to clarify what I know and gives my students (and anyone reading) a reference they can return to.
I'm also building in public. This blog is part of a larger project — sharing progress, mistakes, and small wins as I grow as a developer in Mozambique. There's a thriving local tech scene here, but most learning resources assume a Western context. I want DevCo to bridge that gap.
Why English?
English isn't my first language, but it's the language of the tools I use every day — React docs, GitHub issues, Stack Overflow threads. Writing in English means my notes can reach developers anywhere, and I get better at the vocabulary I'll need in a global remote market.
What to expect
Expect practical posts on React, Next.js, TypeScript, and CSS — the stack I work with daily. Some will be tutorials, others will be reflections on career, teaching, and building side projects. No fluff, no engagement bait — just honest notes from someone still figuring things out.
Thanks for being here at the start. Let's build.
