👋 Hi everyone!

My name is Kennedy, and I’m excited to be here!

I joined this space to keep learning and improving my coding skills — especially in web development, AI/ML systems, and other emerging technologies. I love building creative, interactive projects that solve real-world problems.

💡 Here’s a joke:

Why do programmers prefer dark mode?

Because light attracts bugs. 😄

You can check out my GitHub: github.com/kawacukennedy

Feel free to share any feedback or recommendations — I’m always open to learning!

Love the joke, and welcome!

I'm working on security tooling and always curious about AI/ML systems. What's your favorite tool/framework/workflow for this?

Looking forward to seeing what you share here!

Hey, thanks so much! Glad the joke landed!

That’s really cool — security tooling sounds super interesting, especially when combined with AI/ML. I’ve been playing around with TensorFlow and PyTorch for experiments, and lately diving into LangChain + FastAPI to build some interactive AI tools.

What kind of stuff are you working on in security? Always curious how people are blending AI into that space.

I’m Edmund Sparrow, creator of GnokeStation — a free web-based desktop platform designed to make computing accessible from any browser or device.

I joined this community mainly for visibility — not to market, but to make it easier for people who could genuinely benefit from GnokeStation to discover it. I’m passionate about building open, browser-first tools that empower creators, learners, and developers — all from mobile.

Glad to be here and open to connect with anyone interested in web-based OS concepts or offline-first app development.

Hello devs,

I'm Tirth , new to coding universe ! I am currently 18 years old, pursuing Bachelor of Engineering at the prestigious Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, Gujarat, India.

In my aim to become a good coder and developer, I have started visiting different coding websites, which has brought me to the coding community, where I am sure my seniors will surely help me.

I don't know any coding language and at the University, the languages will be taught in Second Semester. So in pursuit of getting overview of the languages, I want to read as many articles and blogs.

It is my first post. Do give me suggestions.

Thank you coding community ☺️

Jack Fajardo

Hi there! 👋

I’m Jack, and I’m fairly new to Java. The only programming language I’ve really used before is JavaScript — which is more high-level compared to Java. Java feels a bit more low-level to me, and its syntax is quite long and challenging to memorize and fully understand 😅

From what I’ve researched, Java developers are currently in high demand, especially in enterprise companies, so I decided to seriously learn it! 🚀

I’d say I’m still at a junior level, but I’m structured in the way I think — and I want to use that strength to guide me through this learning journey.

Please take a look at my first post and let me know your thoughts or any advice you might have. I’d really appreciate it! 🙏✨

Hi, I'm Michael, living on Guadeloupe, in the French Antilles. This is the platform I have been searching for. It's already feeling like home, just from browsing.
I will be posting Linux and other tutorials, as I am a Debian purist. I am not a coder, but will occasionally post bash scripts I think are worth sharing.
Anything I post, is 100% my own, even if Ai-checkers say my work is 96% AI-generated, maybe I'm part cyborg!

Meu nome é Gabriel. O que me trouxe aqui é a minha paixão por aprender e também por ensinar tecnologia. Atuo como Oficineiro de Tecnologia e acredito muito que a melhor forma de solidificar o conhecimento é compartilhando o processo.

Atualmente, estou mergulhado no mundo do desenvolvimento web. Meu foco de estudo está dividido entre o Front-End, aprendendo JavaScript e React, e ao mesmo tempo revisitando e aprofundando minha base de Back-End com PHP e MySQL.

Estou animado para fazer parte da comunidade, trocar conhecimentos e documentar minha jornada. Espero poder aprender muito com vocês!

James Moceri

Hello!

I'm James, and I'm here because I'm working on JMo Security - an open-source security audit toolkit that orchestrates multiple scanners with unified outputs.

What brought me here: I spent too much time consolidating outputs from Trivy, Semgrep, TruffleHog, and friends for my Capstone Project. So I built a tool that does it for me (and now anyone can use it).

Currently learning: How to write better technical content that actually helps people. Turns out explaining complex security tools in plain English is harder than building them 😅

Fun fact about me: I recently am career-transitioning into Cyber/IT/DevSec from Operations of over 12 years

Looking forward to connecting with other security-minded devs and open-source maintainers here!

Hello everyone 👋

My name is Christian I'm a frontend developer.

I've been working using React/Vue/Angular for a couple of years but recently I've been feeling that I lost the spark to keep learning new stuff... mostly because I'm very busy at work and whenever I have free time I want to be away from the laptop.

BUT! I'm feeling it again and I really want to learn new stuff, AI... I just got a cursor license and I'm just looking where to start, do you have any tips? any recommendations in what to learn? Any interesting topics? any comments will be highly appreciated.

I'm down for any collaborations, I want to improve my skills and collaborate in different projects.

Thanks for reading, Happy coding!
