Hello everyone, I'm learning webdev.

I used perplexity to look for sources about what a web developer uses to make a business-ready website. (like what they use for booking pages, email collecting, etc.)

I'm in the process of making my own list of what to use for each scenario throughout my developer journey.

P.S. one of the sources brought me here to this website, I started reading a couple of posts and I love it so far.

Thanks for having me~

Hey dev friends!

I’m a front-end engineer currently taking some time to reset and ramp back up after a busy stretch. I work mostly with React and care a lot about UI clarity, maintainability, and building things that feel good to use.

Over the next few weeks, I’m planning to write a bit, build a small project or two, and reconnect with the community. If you’re doing something similar or just want to chat, I’m always happy to connect.

Looking forward to learning alongside you all.

I've been in IT for 25+ years now, and I'm always looking to learn something new. This community seems great for that.

I've also recently discovered that writing about IT/Cyber stuff, or just blogging in general, seems to be a stress relief and an outlet for me, which is something I very much need these days.

This site was recommended to me as a place to come read, write, and just relax.

So, here I am. Thank you for having me. I'm off to go read!

Hey everyone 👋
I’m Deepak, a student who originally wanted to become an app developer. I started with app dev, but resources and job opportunities felt quite limited, especially where I’m from.
So I decided to switch to web development, where the learning resources and market are much bigger. My long-term goal is to become a full-stack web developer.
So far, I’ve completed CSS and I’m practicing by cloning popular websites like Amazon and Netflix to strengthen my concepts.
I joined the DEV community because I was looking for real developers and real advice. As a beginner, learning from experienced devs matters a lot to me, and this community feels like the right place for that.
Fun fact: I enjoy cloning websites more than actually using them 😅

Hello dev world!

How about we give traditional old school AI Agent frameworks some modern Rust power? I'm James, founder of zavora.ai and would like to share with the dev community the underlying ai agent framework I have built - ADK-Rust - a flexible, modular framework for production-ready AI agents. Model-agnostic. Type-safe. Blazingly fast. Open Source.

To spin up an agent is quite simple:

use adk_rust::prelude::*;
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<()> {
let model = GeminiModel::new(&api_key, "gemini-2.5-flash")?;
let agent = LlmAgentBuilder::new("assistant")
.description("A helpful AI assistant")
.instruction("You are friendly and concise.")
.model(Arc::new(model))
.build()?;
Launcher::new(Arc::new(agent)).run().await?;
Ok(())
}

Very happy to be here and happy holidays to you all.

What brought me here: I’ve been a lurker for a while, but now that I’m deep-diving into AI and Big Data, I wanted to join the conversation and share what I’m building.

What I'm learning: I’m a Fullstack Dev currently pursuing a Master’s Specialization in AI & Big Data. I’m fascinated by how we can integrate machine learning models into traditional stacks like Java or .NET.

Fun fact: I’ve already built 29 personal projects! 💻 From mobile apps in Kotlin to backend systems. I’m a bit of a "serial builder," and I love the feeling of solving a complex bug after hours of debugging.

Excited to be part of the community! If anyone is into AI, Backend, or just wants to chat about clean code, let’s connect! 🚀"

Hey everyone! I'm Jack, a consultant from Denmark who just joined dev.to.

I spent the last 9 days building my first SaaS (ClearNoteLab) using Bolt AI for $200, launched on Hacker News 3 days before Christmas, and got exactly zero signups.

Learning a lot about what NOT to do when launching. Planning to write about the whole journey - the build process, the critical payment bugs I caught, and why launching during Christmas week was a terrible idea.

Excited to be here and looking forward to learning from this community!

Collapse

So what not to do?

Collapse
 
jackb_builds profile image
Jack Brauner

Great question! Here's what I learned NOT to do:

  1. Don't launch 3 days before Christmas - traffic is at yearly lows
  2. Don't launch without social proof - no testimonials/logos makes you look unvalidated
  3. Don't launch to an audience of zero - I had 0 followers everywhere, so nobody could share it
  4. Don't skip payment audits - I almost shipped with a bug that would let users keep Pro access after canceling

The biggest lesson: Building is easy now (thanks to tools like Bolt AI). Distribution is the real challenge. I can ship a functional SaaS in 9 days, but I still don't know how to get 100 people to try it.

Working on fixing that!

Hi everyone,

I'm new here and currently on a bit of a DevOps / automation journey.

I'd describe myself as more of a generalist than a hardcore specialist. These days I mostly work with Python and Ansible. I'm slowly expanding into Docker, container-based setups and automation in general. Kubernetes is on my radar, but I'm taking things step by step.

At home, I like to experiment with Home Assistant - monitoring air quality and keeping my plant alive. At work I'm applying similar ideas to a legacy environment, trying to introduce more automation and better tooling where it makes sense.

I'm curious about visual explanations, sketchnotes and other ways to make complex sysems more approachable.

Looking forward to exchanging ideas

Howdy y'all,

Tech lead at Volvo Penta in Gothenburg, Sweden 🇸🇪. By day it's C#, React, and Azure. After hours I'm a Rustacean 🦀 (drawn to it for the safety, performance (and okay maybe a bit of rebelliousness too))

Currently building a blogging platform (not happy with what's out there now) and helping friends get their coaching businesses online (Rust + React + Supabase + a Linux VPS).

Took a non-traditional path coming from OC, California 🇺🇸 and a Business degree .. started in sales and tech recruiting, then moved to Sweden after my MSCS to actually write code. Actually just published my first OSS lib which I'll post in the proper place.

But ya, I'm planning to write about life as a tech lead outside the startup bubble, self-hosting adventures, and Rust from an average user's perspective.

Looking forward to learning and sharing with you all :)
