Codistiano is a learn-in-public dev channel that kicked off a #100DaysChallenge in September 2024 and started building Questrack, a challenge-tracking app, along the way. Between builds come study notes, from React hooks to graph algorithms, and event write-ups like a four-part #DevMeetupV3 summary. In 2026 it shared Focused Telegram, a less distracting way to use Telegram, then started learning Go by building a word frequency counter.
- Its favorite word is "good", fitting for a channel that opens so many posts with Good Morning or Good Evening.
- Its longest posting streak ran 20 weeks in a row.
- The busiest posting hour is 11 a.m., which suits all the posts that simply open with "Morning".
The journey.

A2SV and Meetup Notes
2025 opened with a write-up on the LeetCode grind behind an A2SV acceptance, and that journey started later in January. February brought a four-part #DevMeetupV3 summary packed with startup advice, plus a note on breaking out of nested loops in Java versus Python.

Graphs, Tries and Live Notes
In September 2025 a new run of daily study logs began, with LeetCode targets, Tries, Union Find, Bellman-Ford and Floyd-Warshall. In December the channel live-posted from a tech event, passing along a speaker's advice to "prove you can build things".
