A curated, spam-free community for Pakistan’s tech people
Where Pakistan’s developers stack up.
Free, in-depth tech sessions and data-backed career help for developers, designers, students and tech professionals — from first commit to staff engineer. Every application is read by a person, so the conversations stay useful.
Why we exist
Getting into tech — or growing in it — is easier when you can ask someone who’s already there. We connect Pakistan’s tech people so knowledge moves faster than rumours on LinkedIn.
Learn
Technical sessions taught from first principles, with live demos, notes and code you can run afterwards. If something doesn’t click, it’s on us to explain it better.
Grow
Career help built on data, not rumours: what hiring teams look for, how interviews are scored, and honest, specific feedback on your CV.
Network
Help reaching the right people and working with US and global teams. Our goal is to bring in engineers from larger companies for talks and advice.
Events
Three kinds of live sessions, all online
- Hiring & Careers
How hiring really works
What hiring teams actually look for, backed by real job postings, interview rubrics and CV reviews. Includes remote and international roles.

How real products in fintech, AI/ML, gaming and e-commerce are built, from the architecture down to the day-to-day work.
- Tech Talks
Taught from first principles
How computers, networks and databases really work, built up step by step with live demos, notes and code you can run.

How joining works
Four steps from curious to #introductions
Apply
Open our Discord invite and answer five short questions. There are no right answers, just honest ones. You’ll need a free Discord account.
We review your application
A real person reads every application. No automated filters, no trick questions.
Get approved
Discord lets you know as soon as you’re approved, and the Samosa Stack server opens up for you.
Join and introduce yourself
Say hello in #introductions, pick your roles, and jump into the next session.
Why we review applications
We’re selective about attitude, not experience. The questions help us find people who are honest about where they are and are here to learn, to help, or both. Beginners are very welcome.
Topics
Stuck on something? It could be the next session.
Sessions are picked from what members ask for, not what’s trending. Suggest a topic, vote on others in Discord, and it gets prepared properly, with slides, notes and examples you can run.
formats we run
- first-principles deep dive
- live code walkthrough
- data teardown
- CV and interview clinic
Respect everyone
Every background, level and opinion. Disagree with ideas, not people. No harassment, ever.
Be helpful
Answer the way you’d want to be answered. No question is too basic, and “just Google it” isn’t an answer.
No spam
Sharing your work is great when it adds to a conversation. Drive-by links, cold DM pitches and self-promotion without context aren’t.
FAQ
Questions, answered
Yes. Membership and all live sessions are free.
Developers, designers, students and tech professionals across Pakistan, whether you’re writing your first line of code or leading an engineering team. We’re selective about attitude, not experience.
No. Beginners and people switching into tech are welcome. We only ask that you take part in good faith.
Five short questions, like a time you doubted yourself, or something you’d try if you knew nobody would laugh. There are no right answers. We’re looking for honesty, and for people who want to learn, help others, or both.
Only the person reviewing applications. Individual answers are never shared. We may look at anonymous totals, like how many applicants are new to coding, to pitch sessions at the right level.
Yes, a free one. You can create it when you open the invite.
It’s built for Pakistan’s tech community, including Pakistanis living abroad, and sessions run on Pakistan time. Speakers can be based anywhere.
Not for now. Live sessions are a place to ask anything, including questions you wouldn’t want saved forever. After each session, members get the slides, notes and any code.
Not yet — we’re fully online for now. If you’d like to help organise one in your city, tell us on Discord.
