Hey everyone! 👋
I'm Abhi, a B.Tech student and developer from India.
I'm here to learn, build, break things, and hopefully contribute to the community along the way.
Currently working with Python, AI, backend development, and open source. I'm also building a developer tool called Spawn to make repetitive Python project setup a little less painful. 🐍
Looking forward to learning from everyone here and meeting some fellow builders! 🚀
Hi Abhi! 👋 Nice to meet you. I'm also working with Python, AI, and automation, so Spawn caught my attention. Automating repetitive project setup sounds really useful. Looking forward to seeing how the project develops. 🚀
Thanks Leoncio! Nice to meet a fellow Python/AI/automation person 🙌 Would love your thoughts once you've had a chance to poke around Spawn. Always looking for feedback from people working in that space.
pip install spawnio - it is
nice, welcome aboard
Hello!
Hello everyone
I'm a teacher from Palestine who loves tech. I'm not a coder myself but i have a desire to learn and build apps that suit my own use cases. And since i can't really code and don't have the time to learn i've went down the ai coding route. I'm always ready for advice. Nice to meet you all .
Apps that suit your own use cases is the category where this actually works. Which project you pick first matters more than the coding, though. I have a home automation setup I built this way and have never read a line of its code - fine, because when it breaks I flip the switch by hand. Anything where a bad result costs me something, I still end up reading what the model wrote.
Start with something where a bug is only annoying. What are you building first?
I am building a site for wife that documents her 'antique' items for her 'store'. She needs something to track storage location and history. I hope to have this ready for her by the time I reach the upswing of awesome.
That sounds interesting , building a physical tracking app would be very helpful for her for sure. And the history function i think would be good , maybe create a tag system to make things easier to manage. Also a storage location history , in case something goes missing you will have information at every storage location it has ever been at.
I agree, having something personalized to your own use case and fits your vision is the best category where coding using ai works best. It doesn't have to be perfect and you can make it fit your use case perfectly if you give yourself enough time to actually use the app you're building and debug it. However, bugs can be hard to debug for noncoders like me and ai isn't at the stage where there won't be any bugs or errors in the outcome. I've made a small dictionary app where students can upload a pdf/doc/txt file to the app and it would auto translate every English word into Arabic with English meaning, synonyms and antonyms. I'm also building a personal media library app (but that's a pretty huge app I've been building for the past six months.). Honestly , speaking the biggest friction i have with coding using ai is the structures ai build the app on. It seems that ai always uses the easiest or shortest path which may not mean the best approach or structure to build an app on. I've faced this with the library app I'm making and right now I'm in the middle of redoing the structure of the app. Being a non-coder means i don't know the terms or the structures best suited for the apps i'm building and ai is doing a really bad job at giving advice in this regards. So I've learnt my lesson for future apps i plan to make, first research the structure to build upon and map things out correctly.
I'm also curious about automation , i haven't done it outside of the apps I've built so far. I've heard a lot of people talk about creating a workflow for coding which i haven't done yet. What's the a home automation setup you made ? And how did you build it ?
I don't really use automations for coding. Claude Code is a good level of automation for me out of the box. My monitoring are about monitoring, and some routines. My loop agent checks the logs of my apps in prod, collects user metrics, checks API budgets and other thing. Then it lets me know in Telegram.
Hi everyone! 👋
I'm Andrew, building PromptSpend, an open-source LLM cost calculator that tries to get the actual arithmetic right (compounding chat history, cache-write costs, promotional pricing that expires, that kind of thing), backed by a catalog that re-checks itself against vendors every morning.
Just published my first piece here, about the specific ways pricing calculators like mine get the number wrong, including one we got wrong ourselves, in public, on our own product.
Excited to be part of the community and see what everyone's building.
Publishing the one your own tool got wrong is rare. The gap I keep hitting sits upstream of the arithmetic though - you cannot know the output length before the call. I track cost per call on a side project that runs a lot of models, and on thinking models about 60% of billed output turns out to be reasoning, roughly a 2.5x multiplier over the visible answer, and it moves run to run.
So I stopped projecting single requests and bound the session instead: models are banded by effective output price, and the band decides how much can run. Does PromptSpend take a reasoning estimate from the user, or carry a per-model multiplier?
Good question, and the honest answer is user-supplied, not a per-model default. PromptSpend has a reasoning-multiplier field, defaults to 1x, that you set yourself — it bills output at round(output_tokens x multiplier). The model catalog only flags whether a model has hidden reasoning at all, a boolean, not how much; the multiplier isn't derived from anything because there's no published per-model figure to derive it from, and it swings run to run like you said. Your 2.5x number is a genuinely useful data point, closer to a real per-model default than what's in there today, which is just 1x until someone moves the slider.
PromptSpend sounds really useful, especially with how messy LLM pricing has become.
I really like that you're sharing where the calculator itself got things wrong too. That kind of transparency makes technical projects way more interesting to follow.
I'll definitely check it out 👀
Thanks, Abhiix0! Appreciate you reading through the calculator's own mistakes too — that was almost the part I cut, but it's the part that actually matters. Let me know if you hit anything weird once you try it.
Glad you kept that part in—it definitely gives great context. I’ll run some tests with it soon and let you know if anything pops up. Cheers!
Hello, everyone! 👋
I’m Asada Shinsaku, a software engineer who loves coding—sometimes more than my code loves compiling.
I’m really happy to be here. This community already feels warm and welcoming, and I’m looking forward to meeting you, seeing what you’re building, and sharing the occasional debugging headache.
I hope we can support one another, help our projects grow, and celebrate those rare, magical moments when everything works on the first try.
Thanks for having me. I’m excited to be part of the community!
Haha, "sometimes more than my code loves compiling" is painfully relatable 😂
Welcome! Looking forward to seeing what you're building too. Hopefully we get more of those magical "works on the first try" moments than debugging headaches here 🚀
Thank you for your kindness.
I hope we can discuss more work matters in the future.
Thank you once again.
Welcome! I'm new here too.
Thank you! ♥️
Hey Asada, welcome! Excited to see what you build and share here! 🙌
Hi, I'm Robert, and I'm a software engineer. I'm here to engage with the community around the stuff I'm prototyping - which is currently Tauric Studio, a Tiled-compatible map editing tool for game developers.
Hey everyone! I'm Abrham from Ethiopia.
I'm a developer who loves building creative projects and learning new things.
Outside of coding, I'm a huge movie fan -- I love getting lost in a good story, discussing plot twists with friends, and discovering new perspectives.
I'm always up for a great conversation and love learning something new from every person I meet.
Nice to meet you all!
Hey everyone, I'm Peter. I'm building PDFHaul, a free browser-based PDF toolkit, solo.
Most of what I've been deep in lately is PDF parsing and table extraction, which turns out to be a much harder problem than it looks once you get past simple bordered tables. I recently shipped an MCP server for it too, bcrypt-hashed API keys, JWT, SSRF prevention, idempotency keys, the works, which taught me more about the edge cases of letting AI agents touch real files than I expected going in.
Happy to talk PDFs, document processing, MCP, or the general chaos of building something solo on nights and weekends. Looking forward to seeing what people here are working on.
Hi everyone,
I am Seth, a graduate student, and most of what I build is a re-implementation of something which already exists, since rebuilding systems seems to be the only reliable way that I have found to learn which parts of its design are actually load-bearing.
What I worked on most recently is a Kubernetes API server in Node that the real
kubectltalks to unmodified, a macOS browser (Swift, onWKWebView) that holds a memory budget you give it the way a game engine holds a frame budget, a web crawler that implements the B25 algorithm, and a benchmark that ranks language models on catching liars in a game of Mafia instead of on win rate.What keeps me interested is that the failure is never in the part I expect. I priced a hibernated browser tab at 32 KB in simulation; real WebKit charges 39 MB. My web crawler's rate limiter measured itself as enforcing a perfect five-second delay while the host on the other end was receiving a hundred requests at once. However, in both cases every component was correct and the composition was wrong, which is hard to catch from inside a single process.
I have been documenting most of my findings from my projects at sethwheeler.dev, and cross-posting my findings here. Glad to be here.
Hi everyone! 👋
I’m Akira, an AI/ML Engineer based in California. I’ve been working in software engineering and machine learning for several years, with most of my recent work focused on LLM applications, generative AI, RAG, NLP, and building AI systems that actually make it into production.
I joined DEV because I want to learn from other developers, share some of the things I’ve learned along the way, and hopefully contribute to some interesting discussions.
I’m particularly interested in AI engineering, LLM infrastructure, model evaluation, AI agents, and the practical side of taking ML systems from an idea to something people can actually use.
Looking forward to meeting everyone here and reading what you’re building. Feel free to say hi! 🚀
Hey everyone!
I’m Syed, a developer who’s been getting more into AI lately, mostly by building side projects and figuring things out as I go. Joined Dev.to to learn from what others are building, share a few things along the way, and hopefully meet some cool people here✌️
Hey everyone! 👋
Recent grad here — just joined a company that works heavily in AWS, and I'm learning backend development on the job (Node.js/TypeScript, Lambda, API Gateway, PostgreSQL, and the AWS ecosystem more broadly). Landed here to learn from people further along than me and hopefully share what I pick up along the way too.
Fun fact: I'm still at the stage where every new AWS service I touch feels like unlocking a new level 😄
Looking forward to being part of this community!
Hi everyone! 👋
I'm an engineer and independent researcher. I recently built a lightweight, local-first RSS reader to bypass Reddit's strict unauthenticated API rate limits (using a combined "hot" feed workaround).

Hello, colleagues!
Glad to be part of this friendly community of enthusiasts.
I've already published an article here about my debugging tool for coding agents. I hope you found it useful. Giving agents X-ray vision—that was worth all the effort.
And now I have some big ideas. I've been searching for a long time and found a way to provide agents with information in the most convenient format. But that's the topic of the next article. I just finished it and am about to publish it. Enjoy!

Hey guys! ~
I’m Valentine, a solo founder building MORPHOICES — an AI-powered product development system for turning scattered ideas into structured, launch-ready digital products.
What brought me here is a problem I keep running into while building: context gets lost as work moves between tools and stages.
Research lives somewhere.
Decisions end up in docs.
Implementation happens somewhere else.
Then a few weeks later, you’re trying to remember ''why'' you made a particular decision in the first place.
I’m exploring how AI can work inside a system that keeps those connections intact — from research and decisions through validation, planning, and execution.
I’m still learning a lot about product architecture, AI workflows, and what actually makes these systems useful in practice.
Looking forward to learning from everyone here and meeting other builders. 👋

Hello everyone! 👋
You can read this even though I couldn't have written it in English on my own. But what if I had written it in Chinese? Would that have stopped you from understanding it? Probably not. You could simply translate it and understand what I meant.
I don't speak Chinese either, but with the help of AI, I could probably write an article in Chinese too. And why not? :)
I’m Ozco.
I’m not an engineer or an expert; I’m just a curious person. My background is in journalism—a profession fueled by curiosity. I transitioned from reporting to video content creation, and then artificial intelligence entered our lives.
That was exactly when my curiosity was reignited.
And while trying to shape my career around it, I somehow found my way to this site. :)
Hey everyone! 👋
I'm Tomasz, a Polish dev who's been surviving in the UK for almost 20 years now (yes, I still can't get used to the weather).
By day, I'm a freelance web developer building fast websites for local businesses. By night, I'm building AI-powered tools to automate my life with Claude Code, multi-agent systems, and whatever new shiny thing catches my attention.
Think Batman, except I'm not a millionaire and definitely don't wear a cape. Just sweatpants and too much coffee 😂
Fun fact: I once spent 3 hours optimizing a site to get a perfect 100/100 Lighthouse score. The client never noticed but still worth it.
Looking forward to sharing my experiments (and failures) with this community!
Hi everyone 👋
I'm Nitish, a backend engineer from Mumbai — six years mostly in Ruby on Rails. I currently work on a workplace learning platform, where my time goes on API design, database performance, and shipping LLM-backed features.
What brought me here: I wrote up a debugging story from work — a reporting page taking 78 seconds to load, four existing indexes that didn't help, and the covering index that fixed it. Writing it out clarified my own reasoning more than I expected, so I plan to keep doing it.
Fun fact: the most satisfying thing I've written this year was six column names in the right order.
Hi everyone! 👋
I'm a Java backend developer with a strong interest in building practical, scalable software for real-world applications.
Recently, I've been focusing on:
I'm currently working on a few open-source projects around Java enterprise development and AI-powered applications.
One thing I'm especially interested in is exploring how AI can be integrated into traditional enterprise software in a practical way — not just demos, but tools and architectures that developers can actually build on.
I'm joining DEV because I want to learn from other developers, share what I'm building, and write about some of the technical decisions and lessons I encounter along the way.
My first technical article will be about how I structure RBAC in a Spring Boot application, including roles, permissions, and how to keep authorization logic maintainable as an application grows.
I'm looking forward to connecting with other developers interested in Java, Spring Boot, backend architecture, and AI. 🚀
Feel free to say hello! 👋
Hi everyone! I'm Makoto, an indie developer from Japan. I've been building ScoreTail a browser-based sheet music editor (real-time collaborative editing + MusicXML support) mostly solo, leaning heavily on AI-assisted development to work through the notation format's complexity.

Hey everyone, Carl here. I build fast, static content sites in vanilla PHP and syndicate them to Pinterest. I just open-sourced a small piece of that: syndikit-pin, a zero-dependency library that turns a photo and a title into a Pinterest pin. I'm here to share what I learn building in plain PHP with no frameworks, and to pick up tricks from all of you. Fun fact: I run my whole stack with no terminal, just a browser and cPanel, which forces some creative solutions. Glad to be aboard.
welcome Carl i hope u have a great time here
Hi, I'm Panagis. I spent my summers on a Greek island and got tired of civil protection alerts arriving by SMS while satellite data was free.
So I started building ARGOS : : Kefalonia Digital Twin an open-source digital twin of the entire island from my laptop, using PostGIS, Sentinel-2, and very busy afternoons schedule.
The first thing the model found was a lighthouse nobody asked about. I wrote about how it happened:

Hello,
I'm John
A medical student who is a tech and web enthusiast. I recently from last year started my coding journey and I'm really making progress.
I'm very interested in web development and I enjoy the works that web developers put on them.
I've strengthened my experience with HTML and CSS and just started my journey with JavaScript.
It will be tough but I hope I continue to enjoy and learn as I progress.
Hi everyone, I’m Rubén, based in Spain. I’m building Partle, an open catalog of products sold by physical hardware stores, with an API and an MCP server so AI assistants can search it.
Right now I’m facing the usual chicken-and-egg problem. I need users to make the site useful to sellers, but I also need sellers and their products to give users a reason to come.
My idea is to start by giving hardware shops free exposure through the catalog. If that helps bring in the first sellers, the users may follow. I’m here to learn from people who have built marketplaces or worked on practical AI and open data projects
Hello!
I am Maki. I got into the software development ever since the age of 10. I had multiple motivations back then - one of them being my father who was a hero to me. He was always able to repair the computer that I've broken by downloading free computer games, which was mind-blowing to me back then.
Another motivation was the fact that I loved playing computer games such as Heroes: Might & Magic III, WoW, etc. I also loved to watch the tv show Star Gate. I loved how they have managed to save the world by understanding a computer program minutes before disaster.
So I decided that I also want to save the world by helping others, as well as making my father proud and perhaps one day - become better. And it paid. The gift that was given to me by the universe started to pay off - persistence.
I spent years of studying on my own, creating projects, working for companies bigger and smaller and step by step becoming better in what I do.
At some point I have reached level where I can tell that I made by father proud and now - the other goal remains - make this world a better place.
Thank you!

Hey everyone — I'm a uni student from Pakistan, still learning programming (mostly Python right now), and I mostly build small projects for the fun of it, not because they're groundbreaking or anything.
Hi everyone, I’m Louis, A Book.
I’m a data engineer with a background in quantitative finance, where I worked on data infrastructure, backtesting, real-time trading systems, and large-scale data processing.
After spending a few years away from the industry, I’m now rebuilding my technical stack and moving increasingly toward AI and modern data engineering. I’m particularly interested in the intersection of data infrastructure, AI systems, and real-world applications.
I’ll mainly be writing about things I’m learning and thinking about along the way: data engineering, AI, software engineering, technology, and occasionally the broader effects of technology on work and society.
I’m less interested in writing “how to become an AI engineer in 30 days” posts and more interested in understanding how these systems actually work, where they fail, and what they mean for the people building and using them.
Looking forward to reading what others here are working on.
Hi everyone, I’m Sujan, a developer and M.Tech Computer Science graduate from VIT. I mainly work with Java, Spring Boot, Angular, and React. I’m currently contributing to Apache Fineract, working on the Loan Origination System. Excited to learn, collaborate, and contribute with everyone here!
Hi everyone,
I build small, static, no-account web tools — most recently a calculator site (finance, health, unit conversion, that kind of thing), all client-side, no backend, statically generated. I got here because I wanted to write up a few of the architecture decisions that came out of building it — mostly around when a backend is actually justified vs. when it's just the default shape people reach for.
Looking forward to reading and sharing more here.
Hey DEV! 👋 I'm Amruth, an AI engineer from India.
I write about applied AI engineering — retrieval systems, transformer internals, agentic AI, and evals. My running theme: demo ≠ production.
Currently shipping a grounded RAG + voice agent for Kannada literature (0.92 RAGAS faithfulness, sub-600MB RAM).
🟢 I'm actively looking for AI/ML Engineering roles. If your team is building real AI systems and needs an engineer who cares about latency, evals, and shipping past the demo stage, I'd love to connect!
First post drops this week. See you in the comments. 🚀
Hi everyone,
I'm Juraj, a solo developer based in Ireland. I spent the last few months building devdigest, a daily email digest that pulls from around 120 dev news sources and uses an LLM to filter and rank stories per subscriber, so you get 15 to 20 you actually care about instead of the firehose.
The part I did not expect to sink time into: I read the terms of service and robots.txt for every single source before adding it. That turned into my first post here, if anyone is curious what that landscape looks like across 120 publishers.
What I'm learning right now is the uncomfortable half of building something solo - shipping it is maybe 20% of the work, and getting anyone to look at it is the other 80%. Very much still figuring that one out.
Good to be here.
Hi all — Mihail, PHP/Laravel dev from Moldova.
Got here through one specific problem: scheduled jobs that stop running and tell nobody. No error, no log, everything green — until the day you need that backup. Ended up building a monitoring service around it, and now I mostly write about the failure modes I keep finding.
Here to read the #laravel and #devops tags. If you've ever found a dead cron job the hard way, I'd like to hear how.
Hi There!
I've been doing front-end stuff forever… I'm a big fan of hand coding CSS/HTML, but I've been dabbling in Claude code recently for TDD (and writing my PRs 🤣) and it's definitely sped up my workflow (and I've always hated writing tests 😅).
I run a web design studio by day, maintain an open source CSS framework by night, and put out a newsletter about CSS/HTML features based on Google’s Baseline once a month. I'm also working on a stealth startup right now… I'm not sure it's appropriate to link to all this here though, so I'll keep it mysterious 😁
Nice to be part of the community! 👋
Hi everyone! 👋
I’m Akira, an AI/ML Engineer based in California. I’ve been working in software engineering and machine learning for several years, with most of my recent work focused on LLM applications, generative AI, RAG, NLP, and building AI systems that actually make it into production.
I joined DEV because I want to learn from other developers, share some of the things I’ve learned along the way, and hopefully contribute to some interesting discussions.
I’m particularly interested in AI engineering, LLM infrastructure, model evaluation, AI agents, and the practical side of taking ML systems from an idea to something people can actually use.
Looking forward to meeting everyone here and reading what you’re building. Feel free to say hi! 🚀
Hi, I'm Sooraj SV, Unity Based VR Developer. Experienced in modeling in Blender, Unity engine and C#. Building games and Virtual Reality games is part of my life now.
Currently, I'm improving my skills and learning new languages to improve my VR Developer skills, also want to meet other developers.
Hey everyone! 👋 I'm Sheshank, a builder and full-stack developer from India. I enjoy identifying real-world problems and turning them into practical software products. I'm currently building ESOP Value Clarity, a product focused on helping startup employees better understand the potential value of their equity. Excited to learn from the community, share what I'm building, and connect with other builders!
Hi all! I am full-stack web developer.
Started many years ago with simple HTML/CSS pages, then mastered WordPress, which became my favorite for a long time. Later, immersed myself in exploring Laravel, and quite recently, my learning journey led me to mastering React.
I’m not a vibecoder, but I’m actively studying ways to turn AI into a good assistant.
welcome :)
Hi everyone! I'm Valerii — I audit algorithmic trading bot code for a living: entry/exit logic, order management, risk handling, fee-honest backtests. Before offering this as a service I audited my own live bot the same way, and I've since filed 40+ public responsible-disclosure issues against open-source trading bots, looking for code that behaves differently than the README or the backtest claims it does. Just started sharing some of the recurring bug patterns here — glad to be part of the community!
Hi everyone! 👋
I’m Matsuken, a data scientist working on AI and machine learning at a Japanese technology company.
I recently joined DEV to share some of what I’ve learned and worked on in data science, machine learning, and AI.
I’ve just published a post explaining Q, K, and V in Transformer Self-Attention—one of the core mechanisms behind AI models like GPT that helps them determine which parts of the context are relevant—with a focus on intuition rather than just the equations.
Looking forward to learning from everyone here and sharing more posts. Nice to meet you all!
Hi everyone!
I'm Andre, a full-stack developer working mainly with React, Next.js, Tailwind, and Shadcn UI. Currently building PatientCare, a patient management system, and I just finished writing a two-book series on AI-assisted development — teaching the fundamentals first, then bringing AI tools into the workflow once there's something solid to judge them against.
Excited to be here, read what people are building, and join the conversation on how AI is actually changing (or not changing) the way we write code day to day.
Looking forward to being part of this community!
Hi, my name is Danil. I’m a 4th-year student majoring in Refrigeration and Cryogenic Engineering and Life Support Systems.
While doing an internship at a design bureau that develops components for aircraft ventilation systems, I realized that engineering involves a lot of repetitive tasks that could potentially be automated using ML/AI.
So, I decided to dive into the world of AI and ML ☻
Hey everyone!
I'm a software engineer, and I'm mainly interested in backend development. I work mostly with ASP.NET Core and Java/Spring Boot, and I'm currently learning Express.js and diving deeper into SQL.
I recently joined DEV to start sharing more of what I'm building and learning. My current project is a personal file drive, and I'm planning to document the process as I build it, while also trying to fight my tendency to start too many projects and never finish them.
Looking forward to discovering what everyone else is working on and learning from the community!
Hello, i am Mistrenkin. you can all call me Mist... i am a vtuber and an indie dev for games and software... i am working right now o my most important project ever an eye tracker mouse the calibrates itself even if you tilt your head in a weird angle, it will use any camera hard where that can be used on a pc.
Hey everyone 👋
I've lately build TrustScoreAgent, a free and open reputation layer so AI agents can check whether a service is reliable before they call it. I've been heads-down building it and I'm finally poking my head up to start writing here, mostly about the trust and reliability side of agents.
What brought me here: I read a lot more dev.to than I contribute, and I'd like to fix that. Keen to learn from how people here explain hard things simply.
Fun fact: most of my better design decisions happened on a walk or running, not at the keyboard.
Glad to be here.
Hi everyone. I'm Dheeraj, a software engineer currently working on agent harnesses and a VS Code extension like cursor to accelerate developer velocity.
I got into Computer science because of my passion for games and started my career working on game engines.
Lately most of that attention has gone to harnesses.
Glad to be here.
Hi, I'm Inolas just starting out with dev.to. I found it randomly while searching something else about computers but i guess it's a place that i always wanted. I am learning Software Engineering and currently in my 3rd year and i am so excited to explore this crazy place, well that's it for now.
Hi everyone! I’m Bertrand, founder of Edikka, a digital strategy and SEO/GEO agency based in Paris. I’m interested in AI, search visibility, web development, and digital strategy. Happy to join the DEV community!
Hi everyone, I'm Fibula.
I spent the last ~8 months making a ten-episode AI film series, using Claude
Code as the production crew. I'm a cloud DevOps engineer by day, so it also
turned into a software project: validators and a CI gate that check creative
work instead of code.
Just posted my first article here, about a test that reported PASS while the
file it was checking was broken.
Still figuring out how to test output that comes out different every time. If
you're doing something similar, say hi.
Hi everyone 👋
I'm Heinrich, building from Germany. I work on cachly — persistent memory for AI coding agents over MCP, so your assistant stops re-reading the codebase every morning.
What actually brought me here: I've learned more from three articles on this site in the last week than from weeks of my own guessing. One post made me rewrite how we store knowledge; another made me rip out a whole error-message convention. So I'd like to give some of that back.
What I'll write about is mostly the stuff that broke, with the numbers attached — a test gate that had silently checked nothing in 50 of its last 64 runs, a stored lesson whose decisive fact sat at character 323 of a 100-character preview. The failures are more useful than the wins, and nobody posts them.
One thing I'm genuinely curious about, since a lot of you are building agent tooling too: how do you know your agent actually used the context you gave it — as opposed to it merely being in the window? We measure it now and the answer was humbling.
Nice to be here.
Hey DEV community!
We’re new here and excited to join.
We recently launched Quick Forge, 🥳 a coding app we built with one goal: make working with code simpler and more approachable.
We’re not programmers ourselves, which is actually what inspired us to build it. After about a year of development, we’ve opened our $10 beta and would love feedback from the community.
You can check it out at quickforge.dev if you're interested.
Either way, we're happy to be here and looking forward to meeting everyone.
Thanks for having us!
JT and Tony

Hi everyone!
I’m a software engineer currently working from Vancouver, Canada.
I recently started writing about lessons and reflections from my day-to-day engineering work. I’m hoping to use writing as a way to organize my thoughts, deepen my understanding, and share what I learn along the way.
Looking forward to learning from everyone here!
Hello everyone! My name is Mayuresh Pandit, and I’m a Full Stack Developer with 8 years of experience.
Like many in our industry, I recently faced a layoff. Instead of letting it slow me down, I’ve pivoted that energy into building open-source tools, packages, and solutions designed to genuinely help the developer community and support social causes.
I’m excited to connect with fellow builders, share what I’ve been working on, and explore new opportunities. Looking forward to being part of this community!
Hi all,
I'm a full-time data engineer and a part-time prediction markets bot builder.
Glad to join and connect with other developers! I will be sharing what I build here and will hopefully find like-minded individuals who also are passionate about prediction markets.
