Ashan_Dev

Hey everyone! 👋 I'm Ashan Dev, an aspiring full-stack developer from Pakistan 🇵🇰 currently studying at APTECH. I found my way here because I'm always looking to connect with other devs and level up my skills.
I work with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Next.js, Node.js, and Firebase — basically anything web. I'm currently deep into building web apps and exploring AI integrations on the side.
Fun fact: I built a GitHub PR automation tool that can create thousands of pull requests using parallel processing — because why do manually what you can automate? 😄
Always excited to learn, build, and share. Looking forward to being part of this community!

Hey Ashan! Welcome to Dev.to! Hope you are well!

Building a GitHub PR automation tool is quite impressive as @rubasri_srikanthan mentioned. How did you build it and how long did it took you?

Regardless, hope your journey goes well on Dev.to!

Ashan_Dev

Hey, thanks so much for the warm welcome! 😊
So the tool is essentially a Python automation framework that interfaces with the GitHub CLI and REST API. The core idea was to automate the full PR lifecycle creating branches, committing a small change, pushing, opening the PR, and then auto-merging it all in a loop.
The initial working version took about a weekend. The high-performance async rewrite with proxy rotation and webhook notifications probably added another few days on top of that. So roughly 1–2 weeks total from idea to the polished version you see now.
It was a great way to learn GitHub's API quirks in depth!

Hey Sanjay! So basically I built it in Python — it creates a branch, makes a small commit, opens a PR, auto-merges it, and loops that process. It supports multi-token rotation to handle rate limits and has both sequential and parallel modes for speed. Check the repo for the full breakdown! 😊

Jonasz Jozwicki

👋 Hello DEV — DevOps, Homelabs, and Building a Startup in Public
Hey everyone!

My name is Jonasz and I want to share some insight of how I build my External DevOps startup. I’m a DevOps / Cloud Engineer who spends unhealthy amount of time experimenting with things like:

  • 🐳 Docker and container infrastructure
  • 🖥️ Homelabs (Proxmox, networking, self-hosting)
  • ☁️ Observability stacks and automation
  • 🚀 Building software products and startups

Lately I’ve started documenting everything publicly. I’m working on a small YouTube channel where I share things like:

  • DevOps explanations
  • Homelab experiments
  • Startup building in public
  • Lessons learned while shipping projects

But I also want to turn a lot of those ideas into written posts here on DEV. Sometimes a concept just works better in text, especially when you want to walk through architecture or explain how something works step by step.

Some topics I’m planning to write about soon:

  • Understanding Docker networking (in simple mental models)
  • Building a useful homelab without spending a fortune
  • Setting up observability stacks
  • DevOps workflows for small teams and startups
  • What it actually looks like to build a software company from zero

If you’re into infrastructure, DevOps, self-hosting, or startup building, we’ll probably get along well.

I’m also always curious how other people structure their homelabs and workflows, so feel free to say hi or share what you’re working on.

Looking forward to learning from all of you!

Hey everyone! 👋

My name is Lawrence ,a computer science graduate with a strong interest in software development, cybersecurity, and backend systems. I joined this community because I believe the best way to grow as a developer is by learning from others, sharing knowledge, and building real-world projects together.

My current stack includes Python, FastAPI, Git, and networking fundamentals, and I also have experience with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Recently, I’ve been focusing on building backend APIs and security-focused applications, especially projects related to authentication systems and fraud detection.

One thing I enjoy most about development is solving real problems with code. Lately, I’ve been working on production-style APIs and exploring secure system design, trying to understand how real-world applications are structured and protected.

Looking forward to learning from everyone here, contributing where I can, and connecting with fellow developers. Glad to be part of the community! 🚀

As someone who pivoted from Industrial Engineering to Data, I’ve seen my share of 'messy flows,' but nothing beats the elegance of a well-tuned cluster.

I have to confess: I’m so deep into the ecosystem that if I were a piece of Java code, I’d definitely be dating Kafka. Our relationship would be low-latency, high-throughput, and we’d never have sync issues thanks to perfect partitioning. 💘

Sorry RabbitMQ, you're great, but my heart (and my offsets) belong to Kafka.

Hi, everyone! It's great to be here. My name is Kyle and I have been a computer enthusiast for a couple decades. Started with HTML at 14 and now I'm trying to get an Electrical/Computer Engineering degree and go into quantum computing.

I do a lot of PHP work, mainly because there is a lot of PHP work, but I'm a full-stack developer, systems admin, and data engineer who can work across many stacks. Around 2020, I was working for a digital marketing firm in Boulder that had quite a bit of custom WordPress development needs. After wrangling enough custom plugin code, I ended up creating my own, fully-featured framework for WordPress plugin development in PHP. I wanted to share it with the world and hopefully get some feedback.

Hi everyone — I'm Glen.

I live and work in New Zealand and spend most of my time building software. My day job is as a FileMaker developer, but lately I've been spending a lot of my spare time experimenting with AI-assisted development and building small systems from scratch.

I've been in IT for quite a while (though relatively new to the FileMaker ecosystem), and the speed at which AI tools can help you move from idea to working software is pretty remarkable. It's starting to feel like a genuinely viable way for a single developer to build some surprisingly capable products.

I'm planning to write about what I'm learning along the way — what works, what breaks, and how to keep things from turning into chaos.

Looking forward to learning from everyone here too.

I’m here because I’m genuinely interested in the dev space and wanted a place where I can learn, explore, and just enjoy the process of building things. This is basically my starting point in the developer world, so I’m still very much at the beginning of the journey.

Right now I’m learning Python with the long-term goal of becoming an AI engineer. At the same time, I’m also aiming to become a generalist in basic programming so I can understand the fundamentals across different areas of development.

I’m looking forward to learning from the devs here, seeing how others approach problems, and gradually improving my skills along the way. Any advice, resources, or insights are always appreciated. Glad to be here!

Current Portfolio Highlights

  1. Arcane Ascent: A precision pixel-art platformer where I experimented with a 'conjure-to-climb' mechanic.

  2. Medieval Tic-Tac-Toe: My recent foray into online multiplayer and themed UI design.

  3. Orbit Rogue: An arcade-style Boss Rush game where I focused on tight combat patterns and scaling difficulty.

  4. Pixel Dash: One of my core projects—a 2D endless parkour platformer that really helped me nail down movement physics.

Across all of it, I've read and learned from talented people from all over. I've also been sitting on some ideas and I think 2026 is as good a year as any to start acting on some of them.

Right now, I'm focused on credential management, SSL certificates, key rotation, and the messy reality of how organizations — big and small — track the things that expire. Plan to share some of that here.

One of my ideas has become a side project called CertWatcher, so expect some honest notes from the trenches of solo SaaS development too.

Hello everyone,
What can I say about myself? First, I am a French guy, 50 years old. I have been coding since I was 6 (1982). My first computer was a ZX Sinclair ZX81, followed by a long succession of machines over the decades.
I am not the archetypal developer of the 2000s and 2010s. I never particularly enjoyed typing on a keyboard just to signal mastery — and frankly, that is how I felt about a lot of developers in those years.
In French, the word for computer is ordinateur, literally, a machine that is supposed to bring order out of chaos. But I always found that label somewhat misplaced, because the real ordinateur is the developer.
That is probably the most accurate way to describe me: I like to bring order to things in a way that makes them do something.
It is also why I am genuinely thrilled about this new era of coding. I can now bring order at a much greater scale, and with far better quality. Working with AI has given me back the joy I felt in the 1980s sitting in front of a screen, especially with a simple terminal, just like the old days. (I hate IDEs)

Most of my recent work has been around backend development with C# and .NET, along with building web applications using JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. During my internship and early professional experience, I’ve had the opportunity to contribute to real-world applications, improve website performance, and work within collaborative development environments using Git and modern software engineering practices.

I’m particularly interested in:
• Backend development and system design
• APIs and scalable web applications
• Learning more about modern architectures and developer tools

I joined DEV to learn from other developers, share things I build or discover, and document my journey as I grow in software engineering.

As someone early in my career, I’m also exploring backend and full-stack software engineering opportunities in the U.S., Europe, the UAE, Australia, and other global tech hubs, and I’m always happy to connect with developers working on interesting problems.

Looking forward to learning from everyone here and contributing to the community 🚀

Hi everyone,

I’ve just joined Dev.to so I thought I’d introduce myself.

I’m a hobby developer from the UK who enjoys building small web tools and experimenting with simple stacks. Lately I’ve been focusing on Python + Flask with HTMX, which I’ve found to be a really nice way to build interactive sites without heavy frontend frameworks.

I like working on small utilities, side projects, and developer tools, and I’m always experimenting with new ideas.

My current project is JotSpot, a lightweight Markdown scratchpad that lets you create shareable pages quickly — including directly from the terminal using a curl API.

Looking forward to seeing what everyone here is building!

Hello, I'm Thomas, I'm happy to be allowed, beeing a member of this community here. Like to explore ideas. Since I'm into the LLM world, I love to develope tools, doing my scientifc stuff, publish scientific papers. Starting with developing tools, agents, memory-systems and many more, was more because it was annoying to work with the raw LLM. So my ideas always envelope because my personal needs. I published on zenodo 2 scientific papers, one related to LLM, one not related to LLM. I'm always curious in how to solve problems. As a systemizing thinker, its like a huge adventure, really love it.

Hi everyone, I’m Sonu.

Earlier, I served in the Indian Army. During that time, even with a busy technical schedule, I started working on automating the MCC role. I ended up building five Excel automations that reduced almost two weeks of hard work to just a single click.

I’ve always been curious about how systems work and how they can be improved. I enjoy optimizing things, removing unnecessary bloat, automating repetitive tasks, and simplifying complex processes.

I’ve also built a few trading indicators for MT5 to make market analysis easier. On the personal side, I’ve spent a lot of time experimenting with Android rooting (especially with the Poco F1). At one point I even bought a separate phone just for rooting and testing different setups.

Basically, I just enjoy breaking down complicated problems and turning them into simple automated steps.

Right now I’m focusing on building my career in DevOps. I’d love to connect with people who enjoy diving into the hard parts of systems and figuring out how to make them simpler and smarter through automation.

Hi everyone !
I am a backend developer from Bilbao (Spain) trying to build an interactive fiction tool set with a lightweight architecture!
I started trying to write a novel... and finally I ended up to a rabbit hole, and I have built the MVP of a little ecosystem... typical XD
I would like to connect with people interested on changing mindset to AI-assisted development, and people who like the interactive fiction

Hi everyone!

I’m a full-stack developer based in Sydney who enjoys building backend systems at scale and experimenting with AI. Lately I’ve been spending a lot of time trying to tell AI what to do - and occasionally succeeding.

I’m here to learn, share things I discover along the way, and hopefully contribute useful posts about backend engineering, system design, and AI tooling.

Fun fact: I was one of the most skeptical devs when AI coding first took off. But once I started learning how to use it properly, my productivity shot up, and now I spend a lot of time politely asking AI to write code for me.

Looking forward to connecting with you folks!
