DEV DEGREE
HYPE HOUSE

CODE. BUILD. FLEX. REPEAT.

Four Shopify Dev Degree interns, one house, and a truly unreasonable pile of side projects. We're here to build dumb-cool stuff, level each other up, and have way too much fun doing it. No lectures. No mentorship arc. Just shits & giggles and shipped code.

The House

Home base is 312 Glenayr Road — an iconic Tudor-revival brick-and-stone home in Forest Hill South, Toronto: 5 beds, 5 baths, and 3,500–5,000 sq ft. One bedroom per gremlin, a pool for “we'll debug it later,” and a red maple out front that has witnessed things. Inside: too many monitors, a wall of sticky notes, and the gentle clack of midnight commits.

312 Glenayr Road · Forest Hill, Toronto

5 beds · 5 baths

Five bedrooms across 2.5 storeys — a room, a desk, and a dream to ship for every resident.

Basement build lab

A finished-basement rec room the size of a war room — the 24/7 build cave.

Private pool

Park-like backyard with an inground pool. Demo-night cannonballs guaranteed.

Forest Hill South

Brick-and-stone on a prestigious street — steps from TTC, schools & the hospital.

“This is where we code, build, flex & repeat — pancakes at noon, deploys before dinner, and demo nights under the maple. Four interns, zero adult supervision. Come cause chaos with us!”

</> The blueprint

The Floor Plan

A cross-section of the whole hype house — four levels, five bedrooms, one pool. Room layout is real (MLS® C13155952); the names are… house policy. Not to scale. 99% structurally sound.

3D Dollhouse

The whole house in 3D — drag to orbit, scroll to zoom, and click any room to pop open its photos from the 109-shot set. Not to scale. Definitely not load-bearing.

The Crew

Four Dev Degree interns, one house, an unhealthy number of open browser tabs. The names are real. Most of the stats are… aspirational.

Say hi to Hyper

Teal twin-tails, a custom DDHH hoodie, and an unreasonable amount of hype — Hyper is the house's very own Discord bot and unofficial fifth roommate. Built with discord.js + TypeScript, she lives in the server and reps the four of us on every stream, every clip, and every questionable 3am commit.

She's also our AI esports hype-officer: powered by a Liquipedia MCP, she answers match questions, schedules recurring posts, runs slash commands on demand, and reminds everyone that a broken build is just a plot twist.

</> What we actually do

The Vibe

Six things we do on repeat. All of them loud, most of them slightly ill-advised.

Ship dumb-cool stuff

Side projects, half-baked ideas, and the occasional actually-useful app.

Build in public

Livestreams and pair-programming. Learning out loud — mistakes fully included.

Content & clips

Devlogs, shorts, and highlight reels straight from the chaos.

Hackathons & jams

Weekend sprints, wild ideas, and demo nights under the maple.

Level up together

Four interns, no gurus. We swap tricks and get better as a squad.

Touch grass (barely)

Pool days, snack runs, and the rare, sacred moment we all log off.
