@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.

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

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" ?

Interesting! how deep can users go with the programs they create inside the OS?

Hello everybody

My name is Gladness Okoroji, and I am a Social Media Manager, Community Manager, and Digital Content Creator with experience managing online communities, creating engaging content, and helping brands communicate clearly across different platforms.

I currently handle social media and community operations for Valucop Global, where I plan content, manage daily engagement, create videos, run conversations across channels, and support campaigns that drive visibility and growth. My work is rooted in understanding audiences, telling simple but powerful stories, and creating content that feels human and relatable.

I enjoy the process of building online communities — starting conversations, encouraging participation, responding to people with empathy, and creating a space where the audience feels seen. I also love making content that is clean, direct, and visually appealing, especially videos, educational posts, and story-driven content.

I’m someone who learns fast, thinks creatively, pays attention to detail, and shows up consistently. I care about results, but I also care about making the process smooth and easy for the team I work with. Whether it's managing multiple platforms, supporting campaigns, or bringing new ideas, I always look for practical ways to add value.
