Major League Hacking (MLH) Verified Organization

We empower hackers.

Organization Settings Admin

Major League Hacking (MLH) helps developers learn by doing.

MLH is the largest developer community in the world. Since 2013, we've empowered more than 5 million developers across nearly 100 countries to learn new technologies, build creative projects, and launch their careers — all through hands-on programs like hackathons, fellowships, workshops, and online challenges and content.

In February 2026, MLH acquired DEV — bringing together the place where developers build with the place where developers share. If DEV is the library, MLH is the lab.


Get Involved

Whether you want to attend your first hackathon, write about what you're building, or help organize an event in your community — there's a place for you.
