We're excited to announce the launch of our first-ever WeCoded Challenge—a new way to celebrate diversity, inclusion, and empowerment in the tech industry!

The Evolution from SheCoded to WeCoded

Since 2018, DEV has celebrated International Women's Day with SheCoded, a call to action for the community to share powerful stories from women in tech about their journeys, challenges, and triumphs. What began as a platform for women's voices naturally evolved into WeCoded in 2023 —an inclusive space that amplifies all underrepresented and marginalized voices in our industry.

This evolution reflects our commitment to creating a community where everyone can see themselves represented, share their experiences, and find inspiration. WeCoded builds on the foundation of SheCoded while expanding our celebration to embrace the rich diversity of perspectives that make our community stronger.

WeCoded 2025

For 2025, we're taking WeCoded to the next level by transforming it into a DEV Challenge format for the first time. We hope this allows even more community members to participate, whether by sharing personal stories or showcasing technical skills—creating more opportunities for voices to be heard and the overall importance of diversity and inclusion to be recognized.

Running through April 6, the WeCoded Challenge offers two distinct prompts for you to showcase your creativity, share your experiences, and see your work featured as part of our permanent celebration!
