Hello. I originally joined to promote a VS Code extension of mine but after reading some of the posts have been drafting my coming back to coding journey.
Hello welcome
How are you doing dude
Doing great thanks and you?
Hello
Hello everyone! My name is Viktor, and my life has been quite a journey. I’m originally from Russia but moved to South Korea at the age of 20 due to political issues. I worked there for four years as a laborer—construction, greenhouses, factories, I even dismantled mattresses. Later, I flew to Mexico, crossed the border into the U.S., and applied for asylum.
Since then, I’ve worked in wardrobe construction in New York, as a handyman in Chicago, and as a cellular tower technician. I now live in Columbus, Ohio. Six months ago, with no programming experience, I started developing my own memory system for AI, providing long-term memory for large language models. This has transformed my life, and I’m working toward fully transitioning to AI system creation. Pleased to join this community!
Incredible journey, welcome!
Hey, interesting story.
Good luck.💪
Thank you!
Your story is very inspiring @vacarchitector ...keep up with the hard work!
Thank you for the support! Absolutely!
Hi Viktor, it's an inspiring journey. All the best with your AI work
Thank you!
What a story!
welcome
Thank you!
Hello! I’m an iOS developer and backend engineer with 5+ years of experience building mobile apps for brands such as Nike, 7‑11, and Six Flags. Previously at PayPal I designed large‑scale backend systems that handle millions of requests daily.
Hi everyone, I'm a longtime developer who began his career at IBM in 1996 with RISC600 and then embarked on web and backend development for telecommunications.
I currently manage web management projects for public agencies and, for fun, I develop IoT components for localization and telemetry systems.
Hi Dev.to community!
I'm an Android developer based in Italy. By day, I write code; by night, I'm a parent trying to navigate the digital world with my kids.
Recently, I decided to merge these two worlds. I wasn't happy with existing parental control apps storing my child's data on third-party servers, so I spent the last 6 months building my own solution: SafeStream Guardian.
It's a serverless, P2P monitoring app built with Kotlin and WebRTC. It was a huge challenge (especially handling NAT traversal and background services!), but I learned a ton about Android architecture and security.
I'm here to share my journey, learn from you all, and maybe vent a little about how hard AccessibilityServices are to debug. 😅

Happy to be here! Let's connect! 🚀
Welcome welcome welcome!
Hey everyone!
I’m Sam, a UK dev currently building Inkfluence AI, a tool that turns scattered notes, docs, and ideas into fully formatted eBooks, workbooks, and lead magnets in minutes.
I’ve spent the last year rebuilding it from scratch and finally launched publicly a couple of weeks ago.
If you’ve ever tried to write a book or long-form guide and got stuck organising your ideas, you’ll probably get why I built it.
If you're curious, here it is: Inkfluence AI
Happy to connect with other builders, AI people, or anyone working on publishing/content tools.
Great idea, Well done & good luck!
Thank you Jasong!
Hello...Nice to meet u..
I saw your post and It is very interesting.
I'd like to discuss with u.
If u have free time, let me know soon.
Awesome! I'm a tech writer by trade, so I'm definitely interested in what you're building! Happy to connect!
Hi sam, great work and all the best
Hello all! 👋
Something I've learned about myself while doing interviews lately is that I'm not very articulate about what I do. Likely because I don't talk to people about it.
Now I'm not about to start chatting-up random people about software development and application architecture, but I can write about it! I think this will help me.
So I'm about to unleash a blog upon the world, and I think I've got a good angle.
hi
Hi, I learned python language and built my first python app. I wanted to showcase my app, get some insights or feedback from other developers which would help me improve my coding skills. I wanted to connect with other developers, learn about their projects and probably learn new things along the way.
Hi everyone! 👋
I’m Saad, a cybersecurity student who enjoys building secure-by-design tools and exploring concepts like end-to-end encryption and Moving-Target Defense.
I recently started contributing more seriously to open-source projects, and I’m here to learn from the community and connect with developers who love security and self-hosting.
If you're curious about what I'm experimenting with, my current project is here: github.com/3xpyth0n/leyzen-vault
Looking forward to meeting you all! 🙌
