Hey folks - I'm Hoshang. Super excited to be a part of the dev community. I'm a 2x founder in the data space - currently building my third one. Happy to discuss anything around data, ops, analytics.
Welcome! Pylar looks awesome.
Thanks Peter!
I checked out "third one" link. Giving AI's safe access to structured data will be uber important! I am personally working on the Local AI front in one project, and not much is needed to run the models locally. But what you are doing, ensuring business can use AI without compromised data, wow. Great work!
@t_c_96146fe21 - Thank you! Would love to connect and help anywhere I can :)
Nice to meet you Hoshang, I'm Tam
Nice to meet you Tam!
welcome , can u please give more details about 2x founder in the data space
@code_igniter
My first startup was an RPA layer powered by conversational AI — you could automate data workflows just by telling it what you wanted.
My second is a collaborative GTM analytics workspace where business and data teams could pull from any datasource and build insights together using SQL, no-code, or AI.
Achei muito interessante a forma como a IA pode automatizar tarefas. Isso mostra como a tecnologia pode realmente ajudar na aprendizagem. Para mim, parece algo de outro mundo, e é a primeira vez que ouço falar de algo assim. Fiquei curiosa para aprender mais sobre como essas ferramentas funcionam na prática
Welcome Hoshang 👏
Thank you, Andy!
Hey - I'm Sven from Sweden. I write a lot of code. Most of it open source. Most of it not in any kind of wide use. Sometimes I write games for the Commodore 64. In a not too distant future I hope to be able to write that I sometimes finish games for the Commodore 64.
Hej Sven! First post I read in here and damn, I like it!
Coded in ASM then I assume? which ASM what type of processor do they run on? Interesting stuff. I am from Sweden myself as well.
I've been programming on a personal level for enjoyment and it's soemthing that I really just love, and love to get lost in. Electrician by trade, but never got enough courage to even look for a job in that field, I just always assumed that it was impossible without a diploma.
Nowadays though, I am planning on slowly building up my own business , developing apps for Handheld devices(phones). This will come with time though, I've just dipped my toes into this field, otherwise I was very into low-level programming. ASM/Microchips/Building wallhacks and aimbots for games using assembly and memory scanners.
I'd love to get in closer contact with you if you are up for it.
It feels and seems like I found the right place, And I have only read two comments so far so that's saying something at least )(
Hello everyone!
Hej, Max!
Yes, coding for the C64 usually means ASM. There is obviously the option of using BASIC, but it isn't really fast enough to do anything meaningful or do anything that requires any kind of precise timing.
The Commodore 64 uses a MOS 6510 processor, which has the same instruction set as the more widely used 6502 and its derivates (which includes the Ricoh 2A03 which is used in the NES).
Programming as a hobby and programming professionally are often very different things. And by that I don't mean to say that the latter is "harder" or that professional programming isn't for hobbyists, or anything like that. Just that programming for programming's sake is usually more... fun, while the profession is usually full of things like... meetings, deadlines and having to compromise on quality for non-technical reasons.
A diploma isn't necessary. I don't have one. The tricky part could be getting that first job to have documented experience. Mindset, willingness to learn and keyboard-experience - which you obviously have - is a lot more important than diplomas and credentials, but of course, not everyone in a hiring position sees that.
Getting in contact - sure, let's talk!
Cheers/S
Wow! I never had a Commodore 64 but I do love games from the past.
May I recommend an emulator, ie VICE, to let your "re-live" the childhood you never had with a C64? ;)
Hello everyone, I'm excited to escape isolation and connect with the world over my developing passion for technology. I am interested in creating and contributing to productivity solutions that save or enhance the most valuable and scare resource, time.
Welcome!
Hi :)
Hello! I am excited as well
Hello everybody
Welcome welcome welcome!!
Thanks
Hello! I'm here to connect with other devs. I'm working on a horror-inspired operating system game. Users can write their own programs, so I figured I would reach out to other developers!
I've got a dev blog at stealthisgame.com/dev/ if anyone is interested in following the development.
Hey!
Tell us more about your game. What does "operating system game" actually mean? This piqued my interest.
Is it something that actually happens on the OS of the player's host machine or is the game kind of a virtual OS itself and its own "game world" ?
@svjson Hey Sven!
At the core it's basically a realistic simulation - the idea is it should look, and feel like an operating system. Having all of the components one would come to expect. The command-line is realistic, and I've done my best to include a bunch of default apps that give the experience of being inside an actual operating system.
So the entire thing happens within the frame of the game:
None of these assets are final and will be changed in the final game
Oh, that's cool!
And I do like the idea of "Hi Sven!" being a command. /s
I somehow imagined that the OS would be terminal only, but this is so much more ambitious! Hats off!
And what about the horror aspects?
Interesting! how deep can users go with the programs they create inside the OS?
@amvitor-cm Hey Tam! I've made it so users can basically create entire programs, almost unrestricted. There are some limits with what the API can do, but I'm hoping to work with other developers so I can learn what they need, then I can extend the API to perform those tasks.
In the screenshot, I show two Lua applications. These are running within the OS and have been programmed with the same API and tooling that users will have access to.
My goal is to make it not only feel like an actual OS, but to have all of the complexity that an actual OS would. (Within reason, a lot of stuff we can skip doing as we're already running within an existing OS. So this means I can leverage APIs like OpenGL, OpenAL, etc.)

Hi, I’m Dragos. Very excited (and curious) to join Dev.to. I’ve been writing code since before it was cool (started on Z80 processors, with Beta Basic). Currently exploring how human cognitive frameworks can make LLMs more relatable, hoping AI will augment humans (instead of replacing them). Also building iOS apps and writing on my blog.
Welcome Dragos!
Hi everyone! 👋
I’m Roney from India. I work in building maintenance and have recently started learning more about IoT leak-detection, moisture sensors, and smart building tech.
I joined DEV to explore how technology is transforming real-world infrastructure and to learn from developers working with IoT, automation, and data-driven systems.
Excited to connect and read your posts! 🚀
Hello, I am a mobile developer on MAUI with two years of experience. I am untalented, lazy, and easily tempted. But I never stop starting over, and I literally enjoy it. I am always searching for meaning and vibe in my actions.
Don't get me wrong, if I find something really interesting for myself, it quickly and permanently captivates me. But unfortunately, it is not always possible to do things that are interesting for myself, sometimes I have to fight my way through a pile of boring things, which in the end leads to disappointment or true bliss. In short, I am about overcoming.
I decided to join your community to find people like myself, to help myself and them. Maybe my articles will be useful.
