Hey all. Another week, another welcome thread!
Speaking of, welcome to DEV! As mention in a few welcome threads before, I am planning on introducing myself on Welcome Thread v400! I made a promise to @javz that I will formally introduced myself on that thread. Look forward to it :D
In any case, what brings you to DEV? Any questions? Feel free to review the Guide I made for DEV for all audiences :D
Get Started on Dev.to! A Beginner's Guide to Engage with the Community! 💡
Hello
Hey
Hello 👋
hey
Hello 👋🏻
Hi everyone.
Im a tech enthusiast a senior IT professional
I joined DEV.to because I wanted a space to share technical articles, exchange ideas, and learn from other developers and IT professionals. I recently published an article about yesterday's PHP cyberattack, which is also what brought me here!
My interests include database engineering, Databases, DevOps, cybersecurity, enterprise architecture, and exploring how generative AI and AI agents are changing the way we build and manage technology.
I believe there's always something new to learn in this industry, no matter how many years you've spent working in it. I'm here to share what I learn, document real-world technical experiences, and connect with people who are passionate about technology.
Looking forward to being part of the community. Feel free to say hello or share what you're currently working on!
Happy Coding 🚀
Welcome @zeeshanarif Dev.to is a wonderful community to share articles, exchange ideas and learn from others. You're in the right place!
I'm in between projects and it feels odd not to be building. But I'm going to GDG Devfest in Modesto, CA this weekend and really looking forward to it.
Looking forward to seeing your writing!
Welcome! Databases plus security plus AI agents is a good mix right now. I’m curious how you see agents fitting into database work: do you let them touch production data, or keep them read-only with a human approving any change? That boundary is the part I find hardest to get right.
Welcome and I must say that we share very same intentions when it comes to joining Dev.to community recently.
Good luck and I am looking forward to exchange ideas, projects, solutions, inventions, advices, experiences, knowledge and inspiration with you .
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hi
Hello everybody! I've joined this site because I need a supportive community to help me build some skill with programming. I started with Stack Overflow, but I found the experience unwelcoming and decided to come to a less formal platform. I'm currently unemployed, but I'm engaging in some project-based learning that will hopefully assist me in applying what I learned in college.
Hi @scholaraj_efb24aac79 ! Glad you're here. I've found this community to be very welcoming. There is definitely a lot you can learn here and everyone is so generous with sharing their experiences. Community members will also share insightful comments on your articles, help you think through different perspectives and the best part is they help you celebrate your wins!
Happy to hear it! That's exactly what I'm looking for!
Glad to hear it!
Welcome and I hope you will enjoy your experience with Dev.to community.. I am also a newbie here, but I am veteran in programming, coding, script writing, automation, in almost all programming languages we have today, and I am willing to help you and support you and advise you towards successful projects in your future, without asking anything in return.
Feel free to contact me and I will respond ASAP. Enjoy your programming experience.
Good luck 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hello there!,the fest event is what actually brought me here .It sounds interesting !as a beginner i m looking forward to know more about DEV by being involved in it

Hey everyone!
I run Digital Power Investigation. I mostly do investigative reporting and research on the messy side of tech: public surveillance deals, cyber infrastructure, and geopolitics (mainly focusing on the Balkans and Eastern Europe).
Decided to join Dev.to to share some real-world case studies and connect with people who care about digital rights, internet governance, and open tech.
Glad to be here!
Hi everyone. New here and hope to have some good exchanges. Doing a lot of personal projects, looking into tech news a lot and (like a lot) having a keen eye on AI. What's going to happen to us? We don't know, but will surely find out.
Hi everyone, I'm Paul. 25 years building software (BBC, Sky, LEGO, Barclays among others), now running my own company, Reply Intelligence Group, out of Watford in the UK.
Lately I've been deep in AI agent pipelines. I've just open-sourced Slipmark, a small gate that stops an agent's "pass" counting once the file it reviewed has changed. The bug that started it: dev.to/paulredman/our-ai-verificat...
Mostly here to learn from people running agents in CI, and to be told where my stuff breaks. Say hello if that's you.
Hey everyone! Glad to officially be here. I'm a full-stack developer currently down the rabbit hole of Python, neural networks, ML, and Express.js. Right now, I'm building an AI application in Next.js and FastAPI that blends the best features of Notion, ChatGPT, and Claude. I’m also learning GSAP because my long-term goal is to become a truly creative full-stack developer. If anyone is working in the AI/ML space yeah
Hello, I'm a game developer. I've been told by my uncle to join this website for a very long time like probably from 2022 but I finally caved in and make one to share my journey. I'm a tech artist and just doing something to not get bored, that's all
Hi everyone! 👋 I'm Wageesha, a software engineer from India working in full stack. Lately I've been building AI tools that make your daily dev work easier.
Most of us switch between Claude, Codex, Gemini, ChatGPT, etc., and when one runs out of tokens halfway through a task, the work just stops. The next AI starts from zero and you explain everything again. So I built which-ai-to-use: it hands the task to another AI with the full context, so it carries on right where the last one stopped. It also helps you manage your tokens: it warns you before your limit runs out, makes your AI skip heavy files that waste tokens, and tells you which AI and model to use for each task, and much more.
Read about it: dev.to/wst2002rk/how-i-switch-betw...
Get it for VS Code: marketplace.visualstudio.com/items...
And if you've ever had an AI say "done, all working" when it never ran the tests, I built proof-of-done for that: a Claude Code plugin that stops Claude from finishing until your tests, build or lint have actually passed. It also catches tests that were skipped or weakened just to make them pass.
GitHub: github.com/WST2002/claude-code-skills
See it in action: reddit.com/r/coolgithubprojects/co...
Excited to learn from this community. What are you all building these days?
Welcome, Wageesha. proof-of-done hits a real pain: an agent saying "all working" without running anything is the failure I run into most. Does it check that the tests that ran actually cover the change, or only that the suite passed?
Thanks, Tony! Good question. Until now it only checked that the suite passed, so a passing suite that never touched the new code still got through.
Your comment pushed me to add a first step, live now in 0.4.0: if Claude adds a new file or changes a good chunk of code but no test, it asks you once whether to add one. Say yes and it writes and runs the test. Say no and the report notes why. Small edits, styles and config are left alone so it doesn't nag.
Checking real coverage of the changed lines is the harder next step I'm looking at. Would this catch the cases you run into?
Hi everyone! 👋 I'm a Senior Software Engineer with experience in PHP, Laravel, MySQL, and API integrations, primarily working on backend and financial-service systems.
I'm currently exploring distributed systems, payment orchestration, and safe AI agent execution through Agentic Switcher.
I'm here to learn from the community, exchange ideas, and contribute to technical discussions. Looking forward to connecting with you all!
Hi everyone! I’m Joscha from Germany. I’ve been running a cron job service called Cronjob.de since 2003, which means a lot of PHP, a lot of servers and a lot of “why didn’t my job run at 3 am” debugging. Looking forward to sharing what I’ve learned about scheduled jobs and monitoring.
Hey all 👋
I’m Lightman, an engineer in Seattle. I’ve spent 8 years bouncing between startups, from angel to Series B, and finally decided to build my own thing.
Currently working on Hunicode.ai - a place to practice AI coding interviews. I built it because I needed somewhere to collect the AI coding interview questions I’d come across and practice them myself. Figured it might help anyone in the same boat.
Looking forward to being part of this community and sharing what I’ve learned!
Hi DEV! I'm Victor, a CSE student in Hyderabad. I build AI agents where the risky decisions live in plain code and the model does the explaining: a touch-free maintenance copilot, a bid-compliance checker for Smart India Hackathon, and a tool that proves bank statements against their own running balance. Here to write up what actually broke while building them.
Welcome, Victor! Keeping the risky decisions in plain code and letting the model do the explaining is a really sensible split. Looking forward to reading about the bid-compliance checker.
Hi everyone! 👋 I'm Ivan, a Microsoft Dynamics 365 developer from Zagreb, Croatia.
I wear a Garmin watch every day and got curious enough about my own training data to build garminconnect-js, a TypeScript client for Garmin Connect, plus an MCP server so Claude can read my sleep and HRV and put workouts on my watch.
I just published my first post about it: dev.to/ivan_ficko_930f8f5c0f81b8/i...
Happy to be here, and looking forward to seeing what you're all building!

Hey everyone, I am Ali.
I run a software company and I am building an open source hosting panel these days. I joined DEV to learn from people who actually run servers and ship real products, and to share what I learn along the way.
Looking forward to reading your work. What are you building right now?
Welcome, Ali. A hosting panel is a great way to meet every sharp edge of running servers. To answer your question: I'm writing a weekly series here on making coding agents reliable. What pushed you to make the panel open source?
Hi everyone. I'm Ashley, a caregiver from Oregon learning Python on the side between shifts. This is my second Hacktoberfest build — for Slow and Steady I made The Lazy Python Tutor, a beginner Python tutor on open-weight models that answers in plain English first, shows one short example, and never assigns homework. Week 2 I built a quote estimator for my one-woman home-services business. Looking forward to seeing what everyone else builds this week.
Welcome, Ashley! Learning Python between caregiving shifts and shipping a second Hacktoberfest build is impressive. A tutor that answers in plain English is exactly what beginners need.
Hi everyone, I hope you’re all doing well. My nickname suits me—I’m definitely not like most of the people here; you’re clearly the "brains" of the bunch... lol—and I say that with no malice, maybe even a bit of envy!
For a living, I work in HVAC, but given the way the world is changing, you have to keep up. I don’t have any formal background in programming or anything like that—I’m self-taught; I learned on the job, as they say... and also by losing 20,000 on the dark web! I know that’s just part of the game, but I’m an enthusiast at heart.
I’m currently working on a few small projects—who knows where they might lead?
In any case, I really envy the younger generation today (I’m 49 years old)—so many things have changed. I remember my first NES... and now we have Kali Linux, Flipper Zero, and so on—AI is just insane!
Take care, everyone, and I hope we get to chat sometime.
MATTHIEU 😁

Hey everyone! 👋 I'm an entrepreneur who went down the AI rabbit hole... and apparently decided to build a business down there. 😄
I've been spending an unreasonable amount of time building with Claude Code, experimenting with AI agents, and figuring out how to turn all this incredible technology into things people can actually use.
That obsession led me to create AI Craftbook, where I'm building original AI skills, automations, and practical resources.
I'm not here to pretend I have all the answers. I'm here to share what works, what breaks, what I've learned the hard way, and hopefully pick up a few tricks from the brilliant minds in this community.
Looking forward to connecting with fellow builders, tinkerers, and anyone else who has ever told themselves, "Just one more AI experiment..." at 2 AM. 🚀
Hi everyone! I'm Sergey. I build websites on EmDash, the TypeScript CMS from Cloudflare, and run them on Cloudflare Workers.
In September I moved my own site off WordPress to EmDash, and since then I've been helping other businesses make the same switch. I also contributed the Russian localization to the EmDash admin, so I've seen the project from both the user and the contributor side.
Here I plan to write about real migrations: what breaks, what it costs, how fast the result is, and how these sites show up in Google and AI answers. Also a bit about privacy-friendly analytics, since I build one (EuroMetrics).
Happy to answer questions about EmDash or moving off WordPress. Glad to be here!

Glad to join DEV.to! Excited to read your posts, share my learnings on Go, K8s, and AI tools, and connect with other devs.
Here is my first DEV.to post about Kubernetes operators development
Feel free to ask me anything, especially related to Golang, Kubernetes operators, etc! 🚀
Hi everyone! 👋
I'm a solo dev from Germany working on a side project that grew out of my own Steam backlog. At some point I had no idea which of my games my PC could actually run, so I built doesitrun.com: you paste your Steam profile and it estimates FPS for every game in your library, plus Steam Deck and ProtonDB status.
The part I keep fighting with is the FPS estimate. Store requirements are often vague or outdated, so mapping them to real hardware performance across ~26k games is messier than I expected. I'll probably write about that here, along with the SEO side of running a site with thousands of generated pages.
Hey everyone! 👋 I'm Mason, an indie developer who loves building things and exploring AI. Just joined DEV and looking forward to learning, sharing, and connecting with other developers. Happy to be here! 🚀

Hey everyone! 👋
I studied CS, and automata theory and algorithm analysis were the courses that gave me the most trouble. Things only clicked once I started drawing every step out. So now I turn those topics into short animated lessons, where you can actually watch a DFA read a string, or count how many times a nested loop runs.
If you’re taking one of those courses and something feels confusing, feel free to ask me here. I’m happy to help. The lessons are free if you want to watch them: markbackcs.com
Looking forward to reading everyone’s posts!

Im Ashar, an IBDP graduate from Pakistan spending my gap year building complex systems from first principles. I don't want to treat math and AI libraries as black boxes. I want to build the engine. MUEHEHEHEHE 😊
Here is what I’m documenting on DEV:
The Math Engine: Writing a custom C++ linear algebra library from scratch (cache-blocked multiplication, complex numbers, eigenvalues).
The Simulator: Using my own math engine to build a state-vector quantum circuit simulator, validated against Qiskit.
The Security: Containerizing the simulator and building a secure CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions, cppcheck, and Trivy.
I’ll be writing about C++ numerics, quantum computing, and DevOps. I'm just starting out and have a lot to learn, though I have always been inclined towards Quantum Computing and research, If you 🫵🏼 love deep dives into how things work under the hood, we can connect :>
Welcome @asharali. Building the engine yourself is the best way to learn it. I started with assembly and C too, and now work in C++ on drilling robots. Looking forward to the cache-blocking post.
Hey everyone! 👋
I'm excited to be part of the DEV Community!
I'm interested in software engineering, AI, and how AI is creating new opportunities for developers to learn, build, and earn.
Recently, I've been exploring paid AI coding tasks and putting together resources to help software engineers discover these opportunities.
I actually wrote a post about it here: Paid AI Coding Tasks for Software Engineers.
I'd love to connect with other developers who are exploring AI tools, building projects, or finding new ways to put their coding skills to use.
A question for the community: Have you tried any paid AI coding tasks or AI training projects? I'd love to hear about your experience!

Hey! I just published my first open-source package, reveal-on-scroll. It's a modern alternative to AOS for animating elements as you scroll. It's tiny, has TypeScript types and respects reduced motion. I also wrote about it on DEV. Would love your feedback!

Hi everyone, I'm Teethawat, a solo developer from Berlin. 👋
I build GetSpace, a keyboard-driven file viewer for Mac and Windows: it shows the files of a folder one by one, large, and you decide with one key per file (keep, trash, skip, move, rename). It's written in Rust with Tauri and React, and everything runs locally.
I started it because going through a full Downloads folder in Finder felt slower than it should, so I timed it: about 9 minutes by hand for 100 files, about 3.5 with the app. I'm planning to write up how I tested that (and where the test is weak) here on DEV.
Happy to meet people who build desktop apps or care about file workflows. What are you working on?
Welcome, Teethawat. Timing it by hand first and then saying upfront where the test is weak is something I rarely see in launch posts, so I'd read that write-up. Once people trust the one-key flow, does undo end up mattering more than raw speed?
Hi everyone!
I'm a solo developer working on ATTRITION, a free, Tarkov-like extraction shooter built in Godot 4 with some C++ for the heavy parts.
My goal is to model as much as possible on real military data and doctrine instead of game logic:
Ballistics: every caliber uses real muzzle velocity, bullet mass, drag and penetration values, from 9×19 to 7.62×54R AP.
Damage: organs and armor plates instead of hit points. A plate only covers what a real plate covers.
Close quarters battle: the AI clears houses like trained soldiers. Covering fire, grenade, two-man entry, corners checked before "room clear".
Tactics and communication: bounding overwatch in the open, flanking, and contact reports over the radio with a realistic delay. Squads only know what they've actually seen or heard.
It's in early alpha and free on Windows:

I'd love to talk with anyone into game AI, ballistics or military sims – nice to meet you all!
Hi everyone, I'm Tony. I build and run web products, and most of my coding these days happens alongside AI agents, mainly Claude Code.
I came to DEV to write about what actually holds up when you work this way. Generating code is the easy part. The harder questions come after that: how you review code you didn't write, what to put in a project's instructions, why agents lose context, and how to test UI an agent built. I'm publishing a weekly series on this here, "Making Coding Agents Reliable", and I write longer essays on where AI agents are taking software on my newsletter (linked in my profile).
If you use coding agents too, what's the one habit that made them more reliable for you?
Hey all,
I am more of a product and growth guy, but I have developed blockchain dapps in javascript/nodejs and an iOS/Android app. I have now started learning Go.
From mobile apps to blockchain to AI enthusiast, along with my tech cofounder, I am engrossed in building an agentic development lifecycle (ADLC) protocol for AI coding agents. I published some blogs about it last week.
I am here to learn and discuss experiences with AI coding on long projects or anything AI-related. So will be lurking, reading, and interacting when the opportunity comes up.
Cheers,
George
Hi all! I'm from X1 Panel HQ. We build software for IPTV operators: a management panel and an Android TV / Fire TV app that operators can brand as their own. I'm here to learn from other developers and share what we build. I'm especially curious how others handle white-label apps and remote configuration. Happy to be here!
