PayPal Developer is inviting developers, designers, founders, students, and anyone who calls themselves a builder to experiment with how people, businesses, and AI agents interact with payments. With access to PayPal's APIs, AI tools, and emerging development workflows, you (or a team) can compete for up to $69,750 in prizes by creating new solutions to the toughest questions around buying, selling, working, connecting, and moving money. Ten sponsors are putting real integrations behind this one: AG Grid, APIMatic.io, Astropods, Bryntum, Channel3, Elastic, KERNEL, Postman, Render, and Zapier 👀 Lots of opportunities to get creative! Submissions close November 12. Register to build today: https://lnkd.in/eC-aGNtb
Are your AI-built apps looking a bit generic? Still telling your agent "no mistakes, or else"? Might be time to try the Flipped Interaction Method 👀 Watch how Joe Holmes, our AI Learning Hackathon Architect, ditched cognitive debt and basic UI (full video on our Youtube)! Build With AI: Basics is Devpost Learn's first learning hackathon: Beginner-friendly and can be done in just a couple hours. Learn the method yourself, build something, and see the difference. Want to see it in action first? Joe's running through the whole process during a live build session tomorrow, Oct 1 at 1pm ET. You'll be able to watch him go from a basic application to something more resilient, scalable, and unique + ask questions on how to do it for your own builds! Register today: https://lnkd.in/enseNrnJ
