Hi everyone! I'm a Java software developer by day, and a self-hosting enthusiast in my free time.
I've been documenting what I'm learning as I go, in case it helps someone else. Still figuring a lot of things out myself, so always happy to learn from others too!

Dear Martin,

Could you assist me clone a website ? Or could you do it for me with an option to grab the username and password when entered? I would like to see how easily the employees of my company are easily accessible or able to withstand attacks.

Best regards

Hi Marin! Do you build things that you self-host, or build self-hosting solutions? Neat focus either way!

Hey Mei! I focus on building things that I self-host, right now that includes a media server, some Ghost blogs, and an analytics dashboard, running on my home server. I’m still pretty new to it, but I’m having a lot of fun and working on a bunch of small projects.

MindRoute sounds like a really interesting and optimized way to use an LLM! I will have to look more deeply into this.

40 countries is a lot! How long did you spend on your trip? I used to travel full-time myself, it's not lofty!

Hey @jonathan_kweku_250 ! Happy you joined the crew 😄 I’m the first to admit: frontend is not my usual habitat, but I’ll always pitch in if you need a hand!

Totally with you on accessibility — it's usually the first thing to vanish when “move fast” takes over “build right.” That’s even more obvious now with all these vibe-coded apps flying around. Honestly, it bugs me how little public data there is on truly accessible UI! It makes it so much harder for models (and humans) to learn what “good” actually looks like.

We need more folks willing to wave the flag 🏳️‍🌈 for accessibility — keep making noise!

Hello Dev.to! 👋

I'm Mei, a 10-year SWE who became a stay-at-home mom and discovered that coding in 15-minute windows between toddler chaos is actually a superpower.

I'm building ToddlerDo (iOS app for instant toddler activity suggestions) and teaching my 2-year-old to code with Claude (he's surprisingly good at feature requests, bring a toddler probably helps with that).

I'm building in public and sharing the messy reality of parent developer life!

Fun fact: I tend to get carried away with tweaking so I constrained myself to building my entire personal site (meimakes.com) with Claude in one morning, pair-programming from the passenger seat while out running family errands.

What's the weirdest place you've ever shipped code from? 😅

Hey @meimakes ! I couldn't even begin to tell you all the weird places I've ended up coding. I went back to college when my son was almost 2, so I definitely feel you! It's not easy having a little one around when there's work to be done (and yes, I can 100% picture Claude running wild with your tot’s instructions to build whatever shiny new thing pops up that day 😇).

I do the same thing — total perfectionist here. I’ll mess with spacing or wording for an hour, even when it barely matters. Claude’s a great solution! Timers help, too 😝

If we’re counting “surprising” over “weird”: My first job had me bouncing between physical printers in three different office buildings. To make it easier, I started working after hours when the analysts had all left. I had all the codes, and security was expecting me — so what could go wrong? Well, the second building had an extra alarm I knew nothing about. Cue me realizing I’d just tripped it with absolutely no way to turn it off. 🫣

So, my most unexpected place to push code? Laptop on the hood of a (very nice) police officer’s cruiser, “detained” just long enough for my boss to come down and vouch for me. 🤣

Hi Charlie,
I saw some posts on LinkedIn and watched videos on YouTube where it was said that SEO is dead because of AI. Is this true?
