im harish, from a small village in india
welcome, harish
hello
welcome Harish
Hello Harish, nice to meet you, I am Andrei and like you joined the dev.to Community just now 🎉
Hey everyone! Senior sysadmin here. Just deployed my lightweight open-source behavioral network-socket monitor to GitHub. Excited to join the community and looking forward to sharing ideas and reviewing codebase architectures with you all!
Welcome! A lightweight behavioral socket monitor is a great niche to own, the kind of thing you end up reaching for constantly once it exists. What pushed you to build it from scratch rather than wire up existing tooling? Always good to see more people shipping open source here.
cool, how's going? I am starting with open source project as well, good to see more open source devs here.
Coolll
Amazing!
Hey everyone! I'm Amer, an IT and Network Infrastructure expert. I've been in the tech field since 1998, focusing on network maintenance, hardware, and recently, cybersecurity. I'm excited to join the DEV community, connect with fellow developers, and share insights from my long journey in tech. Looking forward to learning from you all! 🙂
Welcome @icoreux ! Dev is a great and welcoming community. Looking forward to reading about your journey!
welcome to dev.to
Hey everyone! I'm Jay, 24 years old from Munich, Germany.
I'm building APIs on the side — currently running a validation toolkit on RapidAPI (IBAN, email, phone, VAT, password breach-check and more). Also into trading and building my own AI dashboard.
Always happy to connect with other builders and developers. Looking forward to the community!
Hey Jonas. Welcome to the community. 😊
Wow, an API builder. Truly honored to meet you. What's your favorite API that you have build or used that have blown you away.
Awesome to have you here and have a great time here.😉
Thanks for the warm welcome! 😊
Honestly, the one that blew me away to build was the password breach-check endpoint — it uses HaveIBeenPwned's k-anonymity protocol, so only a 5-character SHA-1 hash prefix ever leaves your server. The full password never gets sent anywhere. Simple concept, but elegant privacy-by-design.
Currently working on a full validation toolkit (IBAN, VAT, email, phone, disposable email detection and more) — happy to share if you're curious!
Looking forward to connecting with everyone here 🙌
Wow, completely blown away by your sharings. You explained it like I'm 5. Sure, I would love to know more about it and all the best for it. Hope it comes and becomes Product of the Day on Github.
Hello Jonas :D
Hi 👋
Evgenii, from Valencia, Spain. I run a small web studio — React, TypeScript, Django, and lately a lot of LLM agents.
What brought me here: I keep finding the same problem on different clients' sites, and it isn't really a bug. People assume that if Googlebot can render their site, AI crawlers can too. They can't. I started writing about it, and this looked like the place where someone would actually argue with me. Please do.
Fun fact: I spent 12 years servicing medical lab analyzers before I touched the web. 300+ labs, coagulometers, immunoassay machines. Turns out debugging a React hydration issue and debugging a machine that hands someone the wrong blood test result use the same part of your brain. One of them just matters more.
Currently learning: what AI crawlers actually do — by reading server logs instead of vendor blog posts. Recommend it.
You asked for an argument, so: how long does the problem even last? Crawlers that can't render JS feels like a today-problem - the newer agent browsers drive real Chrome and render everything. My money is still on server-rendered HTML winning, just for a different reason: it's cheaper for the site than letting a thousand agents each run your JS. And 12 years of servicing lab analyzers is the best origin story in this thread.
Fair, and partly right. The agent browsers (ChatGPT agent, Perplexity's) do drive real Chrome and render everything. For those, JS is a non-issue.
But that's a narrow slice. The heavy lifting is GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Meta-ExternalAgent, and as of June 2026 none of the major AI crawlers render JS (Lantern's monitoring, plus a pile of May audits saying the same). The one exception is Gemini, and only because it rides Googlebot's infra. Meanwhile the volume is growing, not shrinking: GPTBot is up ~305% year over year per Cloudflare. So it's not a fading problem, it's scaling.
Which flips your framing, not mine: rendering at index scale is too expensive for them, so they don't, so the HTML has to carry the content. The day GPTBot renders JS at crawl scale I'll happily retract the post.
Your cost angle is the stronger version, honestly. "Cheaper for the site" beats "required for visibility" because it holds even in a fully-rendered world. Stealing that.
(And thanks re: the analyzers. Still not sure if it's a flex or a warning label.)
Deal - you take the cost angle, I'll take the correction. I was arguing from the session end (agent browsers); at crawl scale your numbers win. And 305% more crawling with zero rendering means they're scaling the cheap path, not working toward the expensive one. It's a flex, by the way.
"Scaling the cheap path, not working toward the expensive one" is the line I should've led with. 305% growth with zero rendering isn't a company that hasn't gotten to JS yet — it's a deliberate architecture. You don't scale something 3x while planning to replace it. Good arguing with you.
(Noted. Filing it under flex.)
👋 Hi everyone! Excited to be here!
I'm a developer interested in AI, Computer Vision, and Automation. I enjoy building practical AI applications and sharing what I learn along the way. Most of my current work revolves around Oglas AI, where I'm focused on applying AI to real business use cases.
Looking forward to learning from the community and contributing through articles and discussions. 🚀
Hey Oglas! Welcome to DEV! Looking forward to read your first article!
Same here - Would like to read your post
Welcome! Best of luck, mate!!
helloo
hi
Hi everyone! I’m a software engineer focused on production AI applications, Java backend systems, and business process automation.
I enjoy building practical tools that connect modern AI capabilities with existing business systems and operational workflows. I’m also exploring Microsoft Dynamics 365, Power Platform, and new approaches to modernizing business applications.
I joined DEV to share what I’m building, write honestly about engineering with AI tools, and learn from other developers working on real-world systems.
Hey Richard. Welcome to the community. 😊
What's your daily AI tool or an AI workflow that you have created for yourself? Looking forward for your articles and learning from them.
Have a fantastic time exploring!
Thanks for the warm welcome! 😊
My daily AI tools are mainly ChatGPT and coding assistants such as Codex or Cursor. I use them for exploring architecture decisions, reviewing code, debugging, and turning rough technical ideas into clearer implementation plans.
One workflow I’ve developed is using AI as a structured engineering partner: first defining requirements and constraints, then generating a plan, implementing in small steps, and reviewing the result rather than accepting generated code immediately.
I’m also interested in writing about how AI tools improve developer productivity—and whether relying on them too much can affect how we build our own engineering judgment.
Hello Everyone, I am Georgii, software dev, working mostly with high throughput analytics. Recently started building AI agentic systems and now I am building my own project AgentArmory - Skills via MCP, always tuned, always fresh.
Skills that stay tuned is the hard half - mine go stale the moment the environment shifts under them. I ended up letting a model maintain them, with hooks that force a compaction when a skill overgrows. Curious how AgentArmory decides a skill needs a refresh.
Hi Aliaksei, thank you for the question. Regarding overgrowing, the skill tuning is never just append, it should be dense enough, so instead a fresh look is taken before the edit.
Regarding how to maintain the skills, mcp features feedback tools and harness can report staleness, and is actually encouraged by tool descriptions.
Hi all! Joining the community as a Systems Engineer & Security Researcher. I focus on low-level tooling and hardened infrastructure. Currently hacking on PtyXL project. If you're into Rust, Tauri, CyberSecurity, or dev-tools, I’d love to connect and talk!
Hi. Welcome to the Community 😊.
Can you explain PtyXL project or is it Top Secret Mission that will be discussed later?😆
Awesome to see you! Enjoy the vibe. 🫡
Haha, absolutely - no corporate secrecy here, just a strict local-first philosophy. 😆
PtyXL is a modern local-first terminal client for SSH, SFTP, and Serial, written entirely in Rust with Tauri. Zero cloud sync, zero telemetry, and full data sovereignty for your infrastructure credentials.
We also just shipped the Provision Builder in v0.5.8, letting you orchestrate server configurations and pipelines by connecting logic tiles instead of writing raw shell scripts.
Appreciate the warm welcome! 🚀
This sounds too awesome. I would to try it and learn from you. Thank you so much for creating it. I wanna get my hands dirty in CLI or API building haha. Someday, I'll post about my projects too.
Awesome to have you. Keep building and breaking.😁
Thanks, that means a lot! Would love to have you try it out. If you hit any rough edges or have ideas, I'm all ears, still very early and shaping the roadmap based on exactly this kind of feedback. And yeah, definitely post about your projects - always good to see what people are building. 😄
Hi everyone,
I'm excited to join the DEV Community!
I've created two posts on dev.io to share, and am looking forward to discussing them with you all. I have 25+ years of experience in software engineering, AI/ML, data analytics, and technical leadership. Recently, I've been exploring how Large Language Models (LLMs) can help solve real-world software engineering challenges, such as Jira backlog analysis, project management, and developer productivity.
I'm currently writing about practical AI applications, prompt engineering, RAG, and LLM evaluation, and I look forward to sharing what I learn while learning from this amazing community. Comments and feedback are always welcome.
Outside of coding, I enjoy mentoring, continuous learning, and building projects that bridge AI research with practical engineering. Looking forward to connecting with fellow developers. Thanks for having me!
Hey K Gann. Welcome to the community. 😊
Which is the best AI software that you feel caught your attention and you enjoyed using it. Like WisperFlow or any other. What are the key lesson that you have learned about AI.
Awesome to have you here and have a great time here.😉
Thanks for the warm welcome! 😊 I haven't tried WhisperFlow yet, but I've been using Colab with Gemini Flash for coding, Perplexity for research (love that it cites sources), and rotating between ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini depending on the task. Biggest lesson so far: each model has its own strengths, so it's worth trying a few rather than sticking to just one. Excited to be here and learn from everyone!
Hey everyone! 👋
I'm Vishal, a software developer with 3+ years of experience and the solo founder of
VIGILANTE, a free GitHub-based accountability tool that helps developers build a consistent daily shipping habit.I'm here to learn, stay up to date with the latest technologies, and connect with fellow developers who enjoy building cool things.
I also love talking about software engineering, side projects, productivity, GitHub, and developer tooling. If you're working on something interesting or have questions about any of those topics, feel free to reach out. I'd be happy to help however I can.
And if building coding consistency is something you struggle with, give
VIGILANTEa try. I'd love to hear your feedback and learn how it can be improved for developers like you.Looking forward to learning and building together! 🚀
Hey Vishal. Welcome to the community. 😊
VIGILANTE feels amazing. I'm feeling like I'm secretly Batman. What was your biggest struggle while building VIGILANTE.
Awesome to have you here and have a great time here.😉
Hey Konark,
Thanks for your feedback on Vigilante, have you connected your account with it and monitored your consistency?
If yes, can you give an honest review here?
Biggest Struggle? - because of struggling in finishing a project, I started building Vigilante to be accountable of whatever I've planned for me.
👋 Hey DEV! Solo dev here — just started shipping small, single-purpose CLIs and figured I'd say hi.
Two so far, both MIT + on npm:
npx grokscope demo(no key needed to try it).Also just posted my first article here — what grokscope turned up digging into Bun vs Node. Excited to be around people who build things 👋
Hey Christo. Welcome to the community. 😊
These projects looks amazing. I would love to try them. Can you share lessons from your projects that you learned while building them.
Awesome to have you here and have a great time.😉
Thanks Konark, that means a lot 🙏
Biggest one: my tests were lying to me. Both had a full green test suite, but a couple of real bugs only turned up when I actually ran them against the live API — gemcatch was quietly sticking the prompt at the top of its own answers, and the free Gemini tier drops your result after 24h if nothing grabs it in time. I don't trust a green checkmark until I've done one real round-trip now.
Also learned to keep deps light the hard way — a native SQLite dependency blew up CI on one older Node + Windows combo, so when I added a cache to the other tool I kept it to a plain file with zero native deps.
One design thing too: make it runnable with no setup. grokscope is bring-your-own-key with a small per-query cost, so I added
npx grokscope demo— replays a real recorded run so you can see what it does before signing up for anything.Both are still pretty new so I'm finding rough edges as I go — if you try either, I'd genuinely love to hear what breaks!
Wow, amazing lessons. I would keep them in my mind before starting my projects. Thank you so much for sharing your lessons and thank you for sharing these projects. If I try I'll provide you an honest feedback.
hello! I'm a mid-level software engineer. Came here just so that I can learn in public. Distilling down my knowledge of stuff I've worked on is a pretty great way to get new insights myself and I don't do it often enough. Lets see if I can keep it up on this account 😄
Hello @doubletime Learning in public here at Dev has been epic!
hello
Hey — Amin here.
I build open-source agent infra in Python (runtimes, local-first guards, graph RAG). Just published my first post about cutting repeat LLM calls in multi-agent graphs — happy to be here and learn from other builders.
Currently deep in native agent graphs vs the usual glue stacks. If you’re fighting token bills or prompt-injection at the edge, I’d love to compare notes.
Glad to meet you all 👋
Everyone posts agent architectures, nobody posts their invoice - so a first post about cutting repeat LLM calls is a good one. I went the opposite way: resend full history on every call by design (statelessness bought me control of the context) and just eat the cost. Curious what your approach gives up to save the calls.
Nice to meet you as well
That’s a clean trade — and I respect it.
If you own the full history on every call, you own the context window: no “what did the cache think was the same question,” no stale answer after the world moved, no mysterious skip. Statelessness buys auditability of what the model saw. Paying for that is a deliberate ops choice, not a bug.
What I give up to save the repeats is roughly the opposite of that guarantee:
I have to define “same enough.” Harmonic / semantic cache only helps when the intent is essentially a repeat. Unique turns, tool results that change the world, or “same words, new facts” should still climb. If the similarity gate is wrong, you either miss savings or (worse) reuse an answer that shouldn’t apply.
Staleness is my problem. Once something is cached, I own invalidation / TTL / scope — not the model. Full-history-every-time never has that class of bug.
Control moves from the prompt blob into the runtime. Ledger + cache keys instead of “the entire transcript is the source of truth.” That’s a win when graphs are multi-hop and the same honest question shows up again; it’s a loss if your product is “always re-ground on the full conversation.”
So I don’t treat cache as “never pay.” I treat it as: pay for novelty and for state changes; don’t pay twice for the same honest climb. Your design says: novelty detection is hard / risky, so always pay. Totally coherent — especially for agents where wrong reuse is worse than a fat invoice.
Curious where you draw the line inside the history itself (trim? summarize? always raw). That’s often where the bill actually hides even in the stateless path.
Happy to compare notes either way — invoice stories > architecture slides.
Hi everyone 👋 I'm Mateus — I build ShipSealed, Next.js + Supabase boilerplates and small tools that keep Row-Level Security from leaking. Lately I've been writing up the Supabase RLS gotchas that bit me in production (the "new row violates RLS" one, and infinite recursion in multi-tenant policies). I'm here to trade notes with other people shipping small products safely, and to learn from folks who've been at this longer. Glad to be here 🦭
**👋 Hi everyone!
I'm Tanzeel, and I'm excited to join the DEV community.
I'm currently learning Python from scratch with the goal of becoming an AI and software developer. Right now I'm focusing on building strong programming fundamentals instead of rushing through tutorials.
One thing I enjoy is understanding how things work, whether it's code, AI, or the psychology behind solving problems. I hope to share what I learn, my mistakes, and my progress as I build projects.
A fun fact about me: I love turning difficult concepts into simple explanations and I'm always curious to learn something new.
Looking forward to learning from all of you and hopefully contributing back to the community. 🚀******
Hello Tanzeel! Welcome to the DEV Community! You sound exactly like me around a year ago, when I started to learn how to code! A good book on Python I would suggest would be Python Crash Course by No Starch Press. For me, I only read the first section and skipped the projects section. For each chapter, instead of just doing the practice problems at the end, I also had a code editor up and did things that were similar to those being discussed, but not the same. Eventually, you will move up to making projects on your own and learning as you go, which is what I did for every coding language after Python.
Hey everyone! 👋 I'm Youness, a Senior .NET Software Engineer based in Casablanca, Morocco. I've spent the last ~5 years building production systems across fintech and insurance — payment platforms, financial pipelines, that kind of thing.
I'm heading into a new role focused on enterprise search and LLM-powered systems, so I'll be diving deeper into that world (vector DBs, RAG, the whole stack) alongside my usual .NET/C# work. Long-term I'm aiming toward a Solutions Architect / Staff Engineer path.
Outside of client work I like tinkering with side projects — happy to connect with anyone working on .NET, distributed systems, or search/AI tooling. Looking forward to learning from this community!
👋 Hi everyone — John, from Brussels, Belgium.
I build agent harnesses. My working thesis is that the code decides and the model infers; the autonomy of an agent is mostly a metaphor once you're responsible for what it does at machine speed. I write long-form essays on AI governance, sovereignty and the engineering of harnesses, published on my own site, harnais.be.
Happy to meet people working on agent reliability, local/open-weight stacks, and anything where "but can you audit it?" matters more than "but is it smart?".
'The code decides and the model infers' - same place I landed after a year of running agents. Every guardrail I put inside the prompt eventually got ignored; the ones that held were plain code outside the loop. Will read the essays.
Hello everyone! 👋
I'm a React Developer and tech blogger. I create content for freshers, students, and aspiring web developers. Right now, I'm focusing on JavaScript concepts and sharing beginner-friendly explanations with practical examples.
Excited to be part of this community and connect with other learners and developers. 😊🚀
Hey Janani Jayakumar. Welcome to the community. 😊
What's your favorite react library that you need in your projects?
Awesome to have you join us. Explore, connect, and enjoy!
Hey everyone! 👋 I'm an indie developer, currently all-in on AI and building small web tools and reference pages.
What brought me here: the new wave of models (Kimi K3, Fable 5, GPT, etc.) moves so fast that I started building little pages just to keep the specs and pricing straight in my own head. Doing that in public felt more useful than hoarding 20 browser tabs.
What I'm learning: the practical stuff — how to ship a small site fast, what actually gets a page indexed and read, and how these models really differ once you look past the benchmarks.
Fun fact: I've probably opened more AI-model tabs in the last month than in my whole life before. 😄
Looking forward to lurking, learning, and posting a few things. What are you all building right now?
Model pricing pages change under you faster than the models do - I've written about API pricing a few times and half the work was re-checking numbers that had moved that week. Doing it in public beats the 20 tabs, agreed. Link your pages when they're up.
Hi everyone! 👋
I'm Oleg, coming from an infrastructure/sysadmin background - of keeping Linux servers, networks and on-prem systems alive taught me that the most dangerous problems are the invisible ones nobody inventories.
That's actually what pushed me to build my first open-source project: pqc-radar, a scanner that finds quantum-vulnerable cryptography (RSA, ECC, legacy hashes) in codebases and generates the CBOM inventory that post-quantum regulations now require. Building it in public has been quite a ride - my very first regression test caught the scanner detecting "crypto" in its own source code 😄
I just published my first article here about it, and I'm looking forward to learning from this community - especially from folks working in security, Node.js and open source.
Happy to connect!
Hey Oleg. Welcome to the Community 😊.
Your OSS looks amazing and the way you have explained is pretty smooth. What was your biggest lesson while building in public. Congrats on your first article. Looking forward for your future articles.
System check: 100% ready for you. Welcome, and enjoy your time here! 😉
Thanks Konark! Really appreciate the warm welcome and the kind words! 🙏
My biggest lesson so far with building in public is definitely learning to embrace feedback before the code is "perfect"
When you come from an infrastructure background, you're used to testing everything in isolation until it's rock-solid before deployment. But in OSS, sharing early forced me to focus on clear docs and real user feedback much faster than I would have on my own. (And as a funny bonus, public feedback helps you spot those silly edge cases you're completely blind to yourself 😄).
Thanks for stopping by! How about you - are you currently building or contributing to any open source projects?
Such a wonderful lesson Oleg. I'm doing both currently still looking forward to contribute in OSS and be an open source contributor just to get to know OSS better and being able to call myself a developer and I'm building small side projects for hackathons and competitions to know my limit and the capabilities of my ideas.
Hi everyone 👋 I'm Clen, from Shenzhen, China.
I work on MAD-SHOW — a professional LED lighting control software that we've been building since 2019. It supports DMX512, Art-Net, sACN, and pixel mapping — and the best part? It's completely free. 🎉
Our goal is to make professional lighting control accessible to everyone, whether you're a lighting designer doing a small gig, a venue owner setting up atmosphere lighting, a system integrator working on a large-scale project, or just a hobbyist who loves playing with lights.
I joined DEV.to to connect with the builder and maker community — because I believe lighting and visuals are a huge part of how we experience technology, and there's so much to learn from people building in adjacent spaces. Whether you're into:
Stage/event lighting 🎭
LED architecture and pixel mapping 🌈
DMX and art-net protocols 🔌
Or just curious about how lighting software works behind the scenes
I'd love to chat!
I'm also here to share what we've learned over 7+ years of developing a graphics-intensive desktop application — everything from real-time rendering challenges to building a community around a free product.
Drop a comment and tell me what you're working on! Let's learn from each other. 🤝
Hi, My name is Nizba. I am a software engineer. I care about building practical, production-minded tools especially where AI systems meet real security problems.
Outside of my day job, I work on open source in my own time, on my own kit. My main project right now is AgentGuard: an open-source Python middleware that inspects messages between AI agents in multi-agent pipelines (LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen). The idea came from a gap I kept seeing most guardrails protect the user→model boundary, but not agent→agent traffic, which is where indirect prompt injection can spread.
I am sharing what I learn as I build: demos, benchmarks, and honest notes on what works in practice (including the messy parts, like latency trade-offs on CPU).
Yeah, the gap you describe is here - everyone guards the user-to-model boundary, and agent-to-agent traffic goes unwatched. I run a multi-agent game where the models hold secret roles, and the messages between them are the whole attack surface. Curious what AgentGuard flags most in the wild: injection attempts, leaked secrets, or plain malformed junk?
Hi all — Charles here. Small-business software dev who fell down the AI-agent rabbit hole and never climbed out. Currently obsessed with a question I don't think anyone has fully answered yet: how do you actually measure whether an agent team did good work? Happy to be here, looking forward to the comments sections more than the posts, honestly.
I run a long-loop agent 24/7 and my honest metric is still 'how often I have to step in' - everything fancier I tried ended up measuring effort, not outcomes. If you crack real scoring, I'm reading.
Hey techies! 👋🏼 I'm Dhruval!
I’m a CS student who is obsessed with building tech that actually holds up under pressure. I spend many late nights engineering resilient systems ranging from live transit mapping apps to multi-agent AI workflows.
What brought me here is I've been diving head-first into scalable data pipelines and also backend architecture. I've made enough messy debugging mistakes along the way that I figured I should start sharing them! I'm here to swap insights and learn from the infrastructure and AI experts in this community.
Fun fact: I actually acted in an NGO short film once! Turns out, acting in front of a camera is way less stressful than debugging code in production.🧑🏻💻
Really excited to connect with you all!
Hey everyone! 👋
I'm a solo developer and I just joined DEV. I've spent the last few months building an open-source web security scanner (Django + React, self-hostable with Docker), so I'll mostly be writing about security tooling, CI/CD and the little engineering problems along the way — like how to stop a scanner from drowning you in the same findings every day.
Excited to learn from this community and share what I build. If you're into security, DevOps or indie projects, say hi — happy to connect! 🙂
Stopping a scanner from drowning you in the same findings every day is the real product - alert fatigue kills more security tooling than false negatives do. That dedup problem is the post I'd read first.
Hello! Long time dev, first time listener. I've been developing for the last couple of decades, but am incredibly energized in this golden age of building. I'm looking forward to browsing the site and checking things out!

Hey everyone! 👋
Happy to be here and excited to meet people who love building things, solving problems, and occasionally spending 3 hours debugging a missing semicolon.
What are you currently working on these days? I'd love to hear about your projects and connect with fellow developers. 🚀
Hey Devs!!! 🖐🏽 I'm new around here. My name is David Lasoff and I'm 67. Who says an old dog can't learn new tricks? I'm now vibe coding two projects with the help of Gemini and Grok. One is called freepaycalc and is all about helping Devs and other freelancers/makers stop the "leaks" in their money buckets. There's a lot more I could say but if you're interested in seeing what our free suite of 10 calculator-tools could do for you (no catch; it's really free), just Google us when you have a minute. My other project is AnimationDr which is now getting set up on our own VPS in Mumbai for RazorPay lightning fast service to principals/clients in the Indian FMCG market. Each business model of these two projects is quite different from the other but like I said, freepaycalc is free (no cost, no email required, no database to collect your personal info, none of that crap!). Any dev, maker or freelancer can use our calculator-tools as much and as often as you like. You can also learn how to kill off that dreaded scope creep! Or maybe with just a little more info, stop getting hosed on cross-border payment processing fees! Anyway it's great to be here; I can feel the friendly vibe! And I'm really looking forward to meeting Devs on DEV to talk about the challenges you face in your own builds and projects. Hope to connect soon! And again, thanks for welcoming me!

I would appreciate your suggestions and experiences. Thank you!
Hi, I'm starting a new chapter here 👋
I work on Microsoft 365 and Copilot rollout projects — specifically on the change management and user training side. My job isn't configuring tenants or writing PowerShell scripts (though I touch that too); it's making sure that once M365 or Copilot is deployed, people actually use it, and use it well.
Hey DEV community!
I'm Abhay, a CSE student who's passionate with where AI and product development intersect.
I've been lurking here for a while learning from some incredible posts, and finally decided it's time to stop reading and start contributing.
A bit about me:
CSE student, currently deep in coursework but spending an equal amount of time outside it building and breaking things
Fascinated by AI-assisted development on how the tools we code with are changing just as fast as the code we write
Interested in product thinking, not just "does it work" but "does it matter and who is it for"
What got me here:
Honestly, I've been spending quite a time experimenting with different AI coding assistants comparing how they fit into a real dev workflow, not just benchmarks. It has been fascinating, I have a lot of opinions I'd love to share and debate.
What I'm hoping to find here:
People who are genuinely thinking about where AI dev tooling is going: the hype, the gaps, the stuff that actually sticks. Am no expert but with a student with curiosity and time.
Would love to connect with folks who are working on or writing about developer tools, AI products, or anything at the intersection of building software and building products.
Drop a hello, what are you all working on?

Hey everyone! 👋 Suzanne here.
What brought me here: I just spent two weeks rebuilding 2048 from scratch (badly, at first) and needed somewhere to complain about CSS positioning bugs to people who'd actually understand the pain. Found this place, immediately felt at home.
What I'm learning: mostly that I should measure things instead of hardcoding pixel values and hoping for the best. Vanilla JS game logic has humbled me more in two weeks than four years of "real" work ever did.
Fun fact: I once spent two hours debugging a misaligned game board only to discover the fix was one line of CSS. I have made peace with this.
Looking forward to lurking, learning, and occasionally posting about bugs I create for myself. 🙂
Hi everyone!👋
I'm Rameesha, a technical writer with 7+ years of experience, and I believe great software deserves equally great documentation.
I'm here because I want to understand how developers think, build, and solve problems, so i can turn that knowledge into content that helps developers share their work and helps everyone else understand it.
In many ways, technical writing is the bridge between the people who build technology and the people who use it.
What's one thing you wish more technical writers understood about developers? I'd genuinely love to hear your perspective.🤗

Hi DEV 👋 Solo dev here — I've spent the last year shipping mobile apps in React Native, including the odd challenge of building iOS entirely from a Windows PC (no Mac). Excited to be here and to start writing up what I've learned. What's everyone building right now?
Hello Dev community, I'm Utsav — Data Analyst by day, currently working through a ML/AI roadmap to move from dashboards into building and shipping models. The hardest part hasn't been the material, it's been the isolation - no one around me is learning this. If you've made the analyst -> ML jump, what did you build that actually got you taken seriously?

Hi all, zowskyy.
I've been heads-down for a while building and stress-testing tooling around LLM agents, mostly memory-related — how agents store, retrieve, and (this is the part that's turned out to be the interesting bit) use what they retrieve.
I'll be posting here as I dig further into that — mostly things I find along the way, failures I hit while testing, and whatever turns out to be worth sharing. Not big into polished writeups for their own sake; more interested in posting the actual thing I found, warts and all. If you're working on agent memory, reliability, or anything adjacent I'm always up for comparing notes.
'How agents use what they retrieve' is the right part to be stuck on. Retrieval mostly works; what breaks is the model ignoring or misweighting what came back. I ended up injecting the relevant slice as the last message before each step, so the model never digs through the whole context to find it. Post the failures - those are the posts worth reading.

Hello! My name is Joseph Wilcox, and I recently graduated from Auburn University with a degree in Software Engineering and an undergraduate certificate in AI Engineering.
What brought me here is that I'm looking to network with other developers, especially those working in AI engineering and full-stack development, as I start my job search. I'm hoping to learn from people further along in their careers and connect with folks who are building similar things.
While at Auburn, I built a few projects I'm proud of — a full-stack AI resume and cover letter generator using Groq's LLM API, an interactive React visualization mapping character relationships across three George Eliot novels for a published scholarly resource, and a recommender system pipeline benchmarking matrix factorization method.
I'm always happy to talk shop about AI-assisted tools, data pipelines, or anything React-related. Looking forward to being part of this community — feel free to say hi!
Hi Joseph 👋
The resume generator caught my eye — I built something adjacent and ended up in a long argument with myself over exactly that design decision.
Mine reads UN tender notices and judges them against one expert's CV. Same shape as yours, opposite direction. And the question I couldn't avoid: do you chunk the CV and retrieve, or send the whole thing on every call?
I went with the whole thing — ~34k characters, every time. The reasoning: the detail that decides the answer is almost never the semantically closest passage. It's the one requirement buried on page five that disqualifies you. Retrieval is optimised to not surface that.
But you were on Groq, where latency is the entire selling point, and full context works directly against it. So I'm curious what you did — chunk it, or eat the tokens anyway?
(Separate thought on the George Eliot viz: is it server-rendered? A scholarly resource wants to be citable, and most crawlers — including the AI ones — don't execute JS. Would be a shame for the work to be invisible to exactly the people who'd cite it.)
Hi everyone! I'm a Full-Stack Engineer passionate about building modern, user-friendly web applications and improving online visibility through off-page SEO. I plan to share insights on web development, programming, SEO, and practical lessons from real-world projects.
Hi Dev! I'm Mauli, a second-year BCA student with hands-on corporate experience. I've been working as an intern since my first year, which has given me valuable exposure to real-world software development.
So far, I've learned web development, including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Bootstrap, and React.js. Alongside web development, I'm deeply interested in becoming an AI Full-Stack Engineer. To work toward that goal, I've learned Python, FastAPI, LangChain, and Prompt Engineering so far.
I'm also comfortable with Git, GitHub, and GitLab for version control and collaborative development.
I'm passionate about continuously learning, building projects, and connecting with fellow developers. I look forward to sharing knowledge, contributing to the community, and growing together.

Hey All, I'm a Software Engineer at.... wouldn't you like to know... and I was brought here by a strong urge to want to read other peoples opinions about tech and SWE while also writing some of my own.
Hi everyone, I'm Luciano, a staff engineer from São Paulo, Brazil. I've spent close to 30 years turning ideas into products, from zero to shipped.
Lately I've been deep into LLM orchestration, and a weekend experiment got a bit out of hand: it became Tribunal of Ideas, an AI courtroom where different models prosecute, defend, and a jury votes on your startup idea, instead of one AI just telling you it's great. I published my first post here about the engineering behind it (at one point a judge model went down mid-trial and another took over live, which was the best moment of the build).
I'm here to learn from this community, swap notes on multi-LLM and build-in-public stuff, and hopefully be useful back. Happy to be here.

Glad to be here. Excited to write, learn, and share what I'm building.
Great read, Sylwia! It’s refreshing to see someone call out the 'tutorial trap'—I’ve definitely spent my fair share of time thinking I’d mastered a concept after one video, only to be humbled by the first bug in my IDE. 😅
I’m Hasnain, an IT student currently living and breathing the MERN stack and Next.js. I’m currently pivoting into the world of AI agents (trying to move beyond the 'while loop' phase!) while working on my final year project. Really looking forward to your insights on WebAssembly and WebGPU at iJS Munich—the intersection of performance and AI is exactly where I’m trying to focus my studies right now!
Hello all!
I'm a retired telecom systems developer and technical architect. I built all kinds of interesting systems in that space - mainly operational support systems (systems used by technical support and call centers to manage the network). I also built early online documentation systems using Zope - Plone (Python based), and transitioned our infrastructure from physical servers to a virtualized/dev ops environment. Languages I have learned over time: BASIC, Fortran (Highschool), C, x86 ASM (self), Perl, C++, Java, 680x ASM (college), tcl_tk, Python. I worked for 6 months for a non-profit automating the training of AI models.
My retirement goals in the tech space include delving into robotics, small AI (I'm against the proliferation of AI data centers), video games, and publishing books on tech topics.
I'm excited to see what new things I can learn here!
👋 Hello Dev.to — excited to be here!
Hey everyone, I'm Kamva.
I've been exploring the intersection of AI, software development, and entrepreneurship — experimenting with how far we can push what a single person can build with the right tools.
I’m interested in turning ideas into real products, testing new technologies, sharing what works (and what doesn’t), and learning from the amazing builders in this community.
Expect posts about AI experiments, app building, lessons learned, and the journey of creating in this new era of technology.
Looking forward to connecting with everyone here. 🚀
Hello all,
I'm a life long computer geek that went a non-computer route and ended up a land surveyor. Sold that business and retired out early and get to re-ignite my inner geek. I've been having a blast with Claude Code and already have a couple of projects out on the web that are just for fun (Links below, feedback always welcome). Being able to use AI to take the next leap in software development has been amazing. It's power learning. I got started using Claude.AI chat to tell me how to use claude code and it acted as an intermediary to write efficient prompts that would maximize Claude Code's potential. It was like having a teacher over your shoulder the entire time. And more importantly, one that never got tired of my questions.
I look forward to meeting others. Hopefully the hardcore coders out there don't hate too much on those of us that lean on AI to do it.

My First Projects
Flickomatic is advanced movie search engine that uses TMDB augmented by OMDB data to get IMDB ratings which are the gold standard. It integrates a "Magic LinK sign in to store your preferences and a Resend email backend. It is hosted on Vercel and took some wrangling to get the costs down. That was a crash course in bots & crawlers and the battle of good vs. evil.
TooTall Gaming is my online gaming platform that I built to host my NFL Pick'em football pool that i've ran for 20-years or so. I've put a TON of time into this project and i'm pretty proud of it. I'm looking for beta testers for the 2026 NFL season if you run a pool of your own, consider giving us a try. I put extensive effort into validating the scoring engine with an independent oracle and human verification as another check. It's hosted on Render and I have an iOS mobile app in development. I plan to port to Android as well before the season starts.
