Anyone with questions about this topic.

The Scrimba Discord is the hub for all community interaction. Here's what you'll find:
Channels for Everyone

- #help — Get help with code problems from peers and mentors
- #resources — Shared articles, tools, and learning materials
- #job-board — Job postings and career opportunities shared by the community
Pro-Only Channels
These channels are unlocked with a Scrimba Pro subscription:

/reviewcommand - #study-groups — Find accountability partners and form learning groups

Weekly Events
Scrimba runs regular events through Discord that keep the community engaged and learning together.

Ask an Expert Sessions
Industry professionals join the Discord to answer questions about specific topics. Past sessions have covered frontend architecture, job interviews, freelancing, and AI engineering.
Live-Coding Streams
Scrimba team members host live-coding sessions where they build projects in real time. You can follow along, ask questions, and see how experienced developers think through problems.
Code Reviews: How They Work
The code review system is one of Scrimba's most valuable features for serious learners.
How to Submit
- Complete a solo project in your career path
- Go to the #code-reviews channel in Discord
- Use the
/reviewcommand and share your project link - A peer or mentor will review your code and give feedback
What Reviewers Look For
- Code organization and readability
- Proper use of semantic HTML
- CSS best practices (naming, responsive design)
- JavaScript patterns and performance
- React component structure and state management
Why It Matters
Code reviews simulate a real-world developer workflow. Most jobs require you to submit pull requests that colleagues review before merging. Practicing this on Scrimba prepares you for day-one on the job.
Study Groups
Bootcamp subscribers get access to organized study groups where you can:
- Find accountability partners who are at the same stage in the curriculum
- Set weekly goals and check in with your group
- Pair program on challenging projects
- Practice mock interviews with peers
Many Scrimba success stories mention study groups as a key factor. Having peers who hold you accountable dramatically increases completion rates.
The Scrimba Podcast
Outside of Discord, the Scrimba Podcast features:
- Success stories from Scrimba students who landed developer jobs
- Career advice from hiring managers and senior developers
- Industry insights on trends, tools, and the job market
Notable episodes include stories of career changers who went from no coding experience to employed developers in 3-6 months.
Tips for Getting the Most from the Community
- Introduce yourself on day one. Post in #general with your background and goals. The community is welcoming and you'll get encouragement.
- Ask questions early and often. Don't spend hours stuck on a problem. Post in #help with what you've tried and where you're stuck.
- Review other people's code. You learn as much from reviewing as from being reviewed. Start giving feedback even as a beginner.
- Attend Town Hall regularly. The recurring time makes it easy to build into your routine.
- Form or join a study group. Find 2-3 people at your level and commit to weekly check-ins.
