Today, Amigoscode is more than a YouTube channel or an academy. It’s a mindset. Nelson now hosts live coding events, open-source contribution sessions, and even a podcast where he interviews engineers from Google, Netflix, and Spotify—asking them not just about tech stacks, but about how they stay curious.
