The Top Thirteen

Building Identities Subtly

Yo, it’s me — The TD Insider once again…

If you ask me who I am, then you’ve missed my Welcome Email.

So, 2 things you need to ensure before proceeding further:

  1. Read the Welcome email you must have received an as soon as you confirmed your email id.

  2. The 0th post of this Community Newsletter, to provide you with a high level picture of what this is going to be all about.

You know what’s special about you, reading this hot and fresh?

You’re one among the early subscribers here,
so you’re part of — “The Top Thirteen” now!

Let’s Dive in

Alright, this one’s all about Identity — but not the “Who am I?” kind of existential crisis. More like, “Hey, look at all this awesome stuff happening in our community, where we’re all figuring out who we are, what we’re about, and how we’re showcasing that to the world!”

I don’t want to give you too much of gyan. If you still want to know about Identity, reply to this email. I will speak tons & tons about it.

For the scope of this Community Letter to you, let me keep it short & crisp!

Building Identities Subtly here

A lot of stuff shows up around you in the community, but do you realize what’s actually happening?

We’re subtly building identities… trust me, because I’m the Insider reporting to you!

Showcase Day
  • Tuesdays are better with the POW Showcase! The POW Showcase is the perfect platform to flaunt your passion projects, quirky ideas, or anything you’re proud of!

  • This month, 7 members took the stage and impressed us with their creativity. If you’ve got something cool, don’t keep it to yourself—let the community celebrate it with you! 

Product Dev Club [GoA SDE]
  • The GoA SDE Club has started its journey with product development, and we've completed the functional document for our very own "Habits Tracker"!

  • The groundwork is done, and the team is excited to move forward. Big thanks to Isaac for being the incredible community builder driving this project 🎉 

  • And by the way, is a group of 6 too small to do big things?

If you’d like to join Product Dev Club, you need to first graduate our Coding Club (Code Craft Daily)

Are you ready to kickstart building your identity?

(Spoiler: No “soon” here— we’re diving in NOW! 🔥)

Let’s make it fun and reflective!

Here’s your challenge:

Open your notes app and imagine it’s December 31, 2025. Write your 2025 wrap-up as if it’s your personal Spotify Wrapped!

Take some time to jot down any of the below:
A quick sample for you:
  • Achieved a long-time dream: You finally made it happen after years of working toward it!

  • Explored new paths: You traveled to places you’ve always dreamed of and created memories you’ll never forget.

  • Professional glow-up: You took a huge career leap that proved all your hard work was worth it.

  • Personal milestone achieved: You reached a big life goal that showed just how far you’ve come.

Wow, 2025 was definitely your year!

Get creative with your own fun categories or titles!

Pro Tip: Grab a peer, a cup of coffee (or chai!), and make it a fun, goal-setting hangout!

Let’s Dream big, and start shaping your goals for an unforgettable 2025! 🚀

Once you’re done, just hop into the next Showcase Day, and show to the world what you’re up to… shh., and that’s how we set a personal accountability!
