🤝 Community Guidelines - CODERCOPS Discord Server

Welcome to the CODERCOPS community for 100 Days of AI Engineer!

These guidelines ensure we all have a productive, supportive, and respectful learning environment.


🎯 Our Mission

Build AI Engineers through:

✅ Core Values

1. Learning in Public

Share your progress, wins, failures, and questions openly.

2. Help First

If you know the answer, share it. We rise together.

3. No Gatekeeping

No “stupid questions.” Everyone was a beginner once.

4. Quality Over Speed

Finished 100 days with deep learning > rushed through checking boxes.

5. Respectful Discourse

Disagree on ideas, not people. Stay professional.
