Thanks for making it easier for new developers to find work. As we become more seasoned, I think it is easy to get focused on the difficulties of being a medium or senior-tenured developer and forget about the difficulties of getting started.
This is tangential to your post, but it is the first I am seeing Telegram and I want to ask why you chose it as the platform to contribute to. I just finished reading the Wikipedia page on it and of the two brothers that own it and I am intrigued. I was expecting to see Google or MS owned it, but it appears to be a free, open communication platform with no big data tech giants backing it. Forgive my skepticism, but what is the catch?

You're welcome!
I went for Telegram because I saw it working well for similar projects and it lets me reach the people directly, instead of them having to come to a site.
For the people that don't use Telegram I have a blog too and a newsletter at https://bloc.noicejobs.com
Some people told me that the jobs posted are too senior for them and they'd like some channels with more junior jobs.
I think getting a remote job as a junior may not be the best in terms of the rate of learning when you can't still figure out things fast on your own. But office jobs are also a no-no given the current COVID state of affairs, so I thought this could help some people.
Let me know what you think. Cheers! Xoel
