Welcome to the community!
wht up
Lets gooooo Jess
Hey, I’m Art.
An old-school developer with 30+ years of experience in software development.
I enjoy helping junior developers because I’ve made plenty of mistakes myself over the years and if sharing those experiences helps someone avoid the same traps, that’s a good thing.
Over time I’ve also built a few things of my own:
Both are part of a small software stack built on top of Godot, aimed at creating native applications without relying on large web frameworks. The idea is simple: create native applications without needing a large web stack.
One problem I keep running into is this:
Modern software stacks keep getting more complex — dependencies, frameworks, build tools, layers on layers.
Sometimes I wonder if we are solving the problem or just adding more complexity.
So I’m curious:
How do you deal with growing complexity in modern software stacks?
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and learning from the community here.
Gah, yes!!! Too many fancy tools, too much separation from the basics.
Broken web pages because I forgot to give a type after years of using framework components rather than real HTML elements (the button was submitting and the page refreshing and wiping form entries instead of taking the correct action).
Cluttered and hard-to-read HTML because we're dropping dozens of Tailwind classes on a component rather than putting all the styles in a CSS block at the bottom of the file (I do Vue, huge fan of single file components).
Vulnerable packages identified which need resolving, turns out someone had decided to import a package just to adjust string casing because that seemed more natural to them than writing a three line function in house.
Some external frameworks and packages are truly fantastic, especially for many things datetime-related, but I do agree with you that in some places we seem to have gone waaaaaaaay too far down the road of 'bring in a tool' for just about anything.
How do I deal with? I strip out unjustified complexity where I can, and go back to basics.
Welcome to the community 👋. I get the impression you have a lot of interesting experience to share!
I do...
I am fighting the browser war since 1900. You have to support various browser and their versions. This all leads to many test cases and leaves no time for architecture thinking. Not even for coding, because you spend most of the time debugging. Im for example using ChatGPT on my mac...all fine, its a native app. Then I switch to Linux via Moolight (remote) and ChatGPT there is based on Electron, based on web tech. And often this thread is on 100% CPU waiting for a response from the cloud. Pure Horror!!
Oh, that sounds painful. You have my sympathies!
I fight it like a dying lion. I'm actually working on three FOSS projects this year to address the rising unnecessary complexity in core dev tooling. I just posted about one today.
In general, the way I approach my clients on this topic is to explain that reducing complexity is like washing your clothes. Clothes get dirty from use and have to be washed to stay fresh and presentable for a long time. Refactoring, rewriting, strangling off bad code, etc. are just washing the code from the dreck built up from (mis)use. That analogy has done more to get sign off from executives than any PowerPoint I ever made.
Washing is needed...it begans to stink otherwise
Hey folks, I'm Yves.
I spent many years as part of the first dozen employees at Berlin startups like SoundCloud and ToolTime. Good ol' times :D
I've now co-founded a small AI startup and I spend most of my days deep in technicalities, specifically agentic AI systems, and I pick up marketing, design, and business wherever I can. When I'm not traveling cyberspace, I'm usually on a cycling adventure or minimalistic camping somewhere with my family.
I write on my own blogs and plan to cross-post here. Happy to connect, and looking forward to engaging with the community :)
Also, who should I follow and why? =)
Here are a few writers that immediately come to mind: @ujja, @grahamthedev, @pascal_cescato_692b7a8a20, @ingosteinke, @rawveg, @bekahhw!
Thanks, Jess!
Thanks for the mention, Jess ❤️
Thanks for the shoutout! <3
Hey everyone! I'm Enis, software developer from Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Over the years I've co-founded a few things: Outecho, a software development agency, and Orren, an AI platform that helps professionals build their personal brand on LinkedIn. I also work as an AI & automation consultant, helping teams replace manual processes with systems that actually scale.
Our latest project is Lama - an AI QA agent that generates native test code from plain English descriptions. We just launched as research preview. No proprietary format, no lock-in, just real test code that lives in your repo and runs in your CI.
I'm here to write about QA, automation, and building products, and to connect with people who've felt the same pain points firsthand.
Happy to be here 👋
Hi, Enis. Welcome to the community!🥳
Outecho, Orren and Lama amazing projects and we all would love to try these out. Looking forward for your articles on QA, automation.
What were the lessons from Outecho that helped you a lot in Orren and what lessons from Outecho, Orren helped you a lot in Lama.
Thank you, really appreciate the warm welcome!
Great question, and honestly one I haven't stopped thinking about.
From Outecho to Orren: Running an agency teaches you one thing fast, most of the pain your clients feel is not unique to them. You see the same problems across dozens of companies and industries. With Orren, we weren't guessing at the problem. We'd watched professionals struggle with LinkedIn content consistency for years across our client work. The product came from real, repeated observation, not a hypothesis.
From Outecho + Orren to Lama: Two big lessons carried over. The first is distribution. Building a great product is only half the game, maybe less. We learned that the hard way with Orren and we're being much more intentional about it with Lama from day one. The second is talking to users before you think you're ready. With Lama we started getting feedback from QA engineers very early, even when the product felt incomplete. That shaped almost everything about how it works today.
The meta lesson across all three: the problems worth solving are usually hiding in plain sight. You just have to work closely enough with people to see them.
Looking forward to sharing more here! 🙏
Wow, such great learnings. You have grown quite a lot from Outecho to Lama. Hope you get even more success.
That is such a great line 'the problems worth solving are usually hiding in plain sight'. I have got to learn a lot from you. Thank you sharing such awesome learnings.
Looking forward for your articles.😊
Thank you Konark!

Hey!
I'm Andrea, a web developer from Italy.
Mostly self-taught, I work mainly with Vue on the frontend. Recently I started learning React — vibe coding is making it much less intimidating than I expected.
I like building products and tools that solve real problems.
Happy to be here and learn from everyone.
Hi, Andrea. Welcome to the community!🥳
Well great on being a self-taught programmer. So, what are the similarity and differences you found about Vue and React?
Thanks Konark!
From my experience, the biggest difference is the learning curve and where each one shines.
Vue feels very natural if you come from HTML/CSS and basic JavaScript. The template syntax is close to regular markup, the reactivity system is intuitive, and you can be productive quickly without deep JS knowledge. I've used it mostly for headless ecommerce frontends and platforms where the UI is interactive but not extremely complex — product catalogs, dashboards, multi-step forms. Vue handles that sweet spot really well.
React feels more powerful for highly interactive interfaces — complex state management, lots of components talking to each other, real-time updates. But the mental model (hooks, JSX, the "everything is JavaScript" approach) is harder to pick up if you're not already comfortable thinking in JS.
The interesting thing is that vibe coding is kind of erasing this gap. When you can describe what you want and the AI writes the component, the framework's complexity matters much less. I'm building things in React now that would have taken me weeks to figure out on my own — not because React is hard, but because the boilerplate and patterns are handled by the AI. It's making every framework accessible to everyone, which I think changes the whole "Vue vs React" debate.
Wow, Andrea. You have precisely explained everything pretty well. I mostly work with React so wanted to know the difference. Thanks for making it clear.
Yeah, You are right. Vibe coding bridges this gap and handles the boilerplate and patterns pretty well. What were the challenges you faced while vibe coding?
Thanks Konark! Good question.
The biggest challenge for me is context loss. When a project grows beyond a certain size, the AI starts forgetting decisions it made earlier — naming conventions, state management patterns, even the architecture it chose 20 prompts ago. You end up with inconsistencies that you only notice when something breaks.
My workaround: I keep a RULES.md file in every project with the key decisions ("we use composables for shared logic", "all API calls go through /services", "state is managed with Pinia"). I paste it at the start of every session. It's manual, but it keeps the AI aligned.
The second challenge is debugging. When the AI writes code you don't fully understand, debugging becomes harder. You can ask the AI to fix it, but sometimes it fixes the symptom and introduces a new bug somewhere else. I've learned to always read the code the AI generates before accepting it — even if it takes longer, it saves time in the long run.
The third one is over-reliance. It's tempting to let the AI handle everything, but then you stop learning. I try to use vibe coding for the parts I already understand conceptually (so I can verify the output) and do the new stuff manually first, then refactor with AI help. That way I actually learn React instead of just generating React.
Honestly though, the benefits massively outweigh the challenges. I shipped things in days that would have taken weeks before.
Yea, Ofcourse that was my go to challenge as well. The more complex your projects gets the more AI forgets decisions and try something new. I have tasked my AI to break the task into small task and don't move forward till I tell it to. This makes the code for me to handle without breaking loose. Your workaround sounds good to would love to try it in my next session.
Debugging is another issue. When I used the code to generate my portfolio it was a big match with AI. There were so many small details that I asked AI to modify but it started hallucinating and even after multiple attempts the problems remained the same. But I have to debug it myself and modify the AI generated code to my likings.
Yeah, over-reliance. I heard this news of a company recently who used AI to combine two products and the AI deleted the database and saved checkpoints of database and made a fresh start for both products.
Yeah keep breaking and building projects on your learning journey.
Hello. Long-time builder in healthcare, machine learning, natural language processing and AI. I'm a big scifi and music nerd and love to build stuff that will make people's lives a bit better and safer. Here to share, help and encourage.
A lot of people know me for my work in digital health innovation, which I did for about 20 years. What drove my curiosity in that area was an ongoing interest in how technology changes the relationship between humans and systems.
Now I spend my time building tools to help us thrive in the autonomous AI era.
What's different now: the systems we build don't just serve humans anymore. They serve agents too. And agents interact with software completely differently than humans do—no visual interfaces, just structured data, schemas, and programmatic discovery.
This creates design and engineering challenges nobody taught us about. We've spent 40 years building for humans with eyes and hands. Now half our users are machines. My last post on dev.to went into this a bit more.
Looking forward to learning from the community!
Hey! I'm Anatoli.

Hey everyone!
I'm Monicah — currently learning JavaScript and React through The Odin Project and thoroughly enjoying (and occasionally struggling with) the journey.
I started writing here to document the concepts I'm learning as I go. If I'm figuring something out, someone else probably is too — so why not share it?
For those of you already working in front-end dev: what resources or habits have helped you grow the most? I'd love to know.
Glad to be here 😊!
Hi, Monica. Welcome to the community!🥳
All the best for your Odin Project Journey. Your articles are amazing.. keep breaking, building and writing.
For front-end dev I mostly use resources on github as they are free and moderated by the developers for interview preparations and practice but I like portfolio a lot of many people so I visit and play with them if got the time. What's your go to resource for frontend.
Hi Konark,
Thank you for the warm wishes.
At the moment I am mostly reading javascript.info and MDN docs then watch tutorials on youtube, webDev Simplified and Bro code mostly then do the projects on the course. I just started writing articles recently.
I have not yet started prepping for interviews that is my next step.
Hi! idk why i am here even not a developer, just good in front-end web development just decided to sell the web design templates i needed a communty for guide and help so just gemini recommended me dev.to
Hello everyone! I'm Anushka Badhe, a college student pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Information Technology in India.
I'm very interested in systems programming and enjoy exploring how systems work under the hood. Recently I've been diving into Linux internals and learning about kernel development — though I'm still very much a beginner.
I enjoy documenting things I learn or troubleshoot along the way. I previously wrote posts on my Blogspot blog, but I’m planning to share my future explorations here on Dev.to as well.
I’m also hoping to connect with other developers who are interested in systems programming, Linux, and low-level development. Looking forward to learning from the community and sharing what I discover!
😊🌸

Hi everyone! new to the group. I’ve always had an interest in web development, but unfortunately things didn’t go the way I planned before and I never really pursued it seriously. Recently, I came across the story of someone who became a web developer at the age of 40, and that really inspired me. It made me realize that maybe it’s not too late for me either. So I decided to start learning and practicing again, and I’ve been doing it consistently for about two weeks now. I’m excited to keep improving, learn from all of you, and hopefully grow in this field. Looking forward to being part of the community!
Love this Mei Mei, it's never too late to learn new skills. You have done the hardest which is to get started.
2 weeks is a great start! Keep it up!

Hello World: Documenting the "Messy Middle" of AI Enablement
After years in the trenches of Senior Full-Stack Engineering and Fintech, I’ve realized that while the "getting started" tutorials are everywhere, the "how we actually scale this" conversations are rare.
I’m joining the Dev.to community to share the architectural shifts, failures, and "aha!" moments I'm encountering while navigating the transition from traditional full-stack development to AI Enablement.
What I’m currently obsessing over:
AI-Accelerated Development: I recently built a Civil Contract Correspondence Management System (CCMS) from scratch in 6 months using Claude Code. I want to share the reality of AI-native workflows—where they fly and where they crash.
Agentic Software Practices: I've been leading workshops for 70+ engineers on how to move beyond "Chatting with AI" toward building agentic systems that actually handle complexity.
Scaling Developer Intelligence: We are currently looking at indexing 1,000+ GitHub repos to build an AI-driven code template engine. The platform engineering challenges here are massive.
Why follow along?
If you are a senior engineer, a tech lead, or an architect trying to figure out how AI actually changes the plumbing of our systems (and our teams), we’re likely solving the same problems.
I’m based in Hyderabad, building in public, and looking forward to learning from how you all are tackling the same "messy middle" challenges.
Let’s connect—what’s the biggest "AI-native" hurdle you’ve hit this month?
Hi! I’m an Australian cyber security engineer specialising in SIEM/SOAR engineering, on track to become a Manager. My main motivation for joining is to improve my technical writing skills to help me enhance the documentation I routinely maintain in my day job, as well as being able to plan documentation and provide feedback to others.
A big hello from me, a German hobby programmer with a hard drive full of “projects” and nothing to show for them—yet.
I mainly use Java to not finish my projects, but I’m hoping to hone that skill in R, Prolog, and maybe even Haskell.
All jokes aside, I joined this site in search of a beginner-friendly community.
Hi, I'm seeking advice from developers that are much more brilliant than I can ever hope to be, because I honestly know nothing about it (as in diddly divided by squat) but I have an idea for a platform similar to Airbnb/Uber type of thing that hasn't been done yet. Is anyone willing to help me?
Hi everyone! 👋
I'm a DevOps Engineer who enjoys exploring new tech projects and building things around CI/CD and automation.

Hey everyone👋, Mosa here, i go by Mr-S.U.D.O and i am a self-learning frontend enthusiast, i had to drop out of school in 2025 because....... you were probably expecting an excuse, but no, I had to drop out because we don't choose where we spawn in life, but instead of accepting that that's my reality, i am going all in this year on learning everything frontend through TOP, FreeCodeCamp and basically every other resource available to me. So what led me here - there is a saying in my native language that says ' motho ke motho ka batho', roughly translating to ' a person becomes better through other people ', so yeah, i'm happy to be here with al of you guys, ready to learn.
How did you get into the world of tech and any words of wisdom for someone starting out (especially a self taught newbie at that) ?
P.S Im open to any opportunity to gain exp, any advice or recommendation. I am and forever will be a student to the game.

Hey, I am Natarajan Murugesan
I am Full Stack Engineer/Senior System analyst with 15+ years of experience in software development. I m interested in learning new technologies and experimenting those in my local and cloud based labs.
Welcome to DEV.to, Natarajan! Experimenting with new technologies in local and cloud labs sounds awesome—looking forward to seeing what you explore!
Hi,
I am also old-school developer with 25 years on my back.
I have coded mobile apps from Palm OS, Symbian, Windows Ce, then iOS, Android.
Also I have done some projects on Mac OS, Windows, Linux (GTK3).
I have worked 15 years in a companies and 10 years as indie.
Now I am worried about the world. Tech is dying.
Forced updated, OSs getting buggier and bloated, open source is a mess, kids are not interested while wages are going down. Who will fix everything when for years monopolies are turning software into spyware while introducing issues at the same time?
Welcome to DEV.to, Alex! That’s an incredible journey across so many platforms over the years. I understand your concerns—tech has definitely changed a lot, but experienced developers like you sharing knowledge can still make a big difference.
Hi everyone 👋

Hey, I'm Evgeny.
Quantum physicist by training, ended up
building automation software for B2B teams —
Slack bots, AI classifiers, workflow pipelines.
Turns out the data pipeline mindset from
physics research translates surprisingly well
to business tooling.
Based in Madrid. Just published my first
article here about AI search visibility (GEO) —
audited my own site and found I was completely
invisible to ChatGPT and Perplexity despite
ranking on Google. Fixed it in a day.
Happy to be here!
Hey! I don't see your article?
Hey! I'm Dylan. Product designer for 15 years, now building a product studio powered by AI agents.
Just launched gui.new — a visual layer for AI agents. One API call turns HTML into a shareable URL. Built it because I was tired of watching my agents produce beautiful work that was trapped in chat windows.
Here to write about building with AI agents, the intersection of design and AI, and my experience running a one-person studio.
Hey everyone! I'm Jane.
What brought me here: I just finished up a massive project for the Gemini Live Agent Challenge and was looking for a community of builders to share my technical write-ups with, get feedback, and read about what everyone else is shipping!
What I'm building & learning: I just built Open House AI Storyteller, a full-stack real estate app (React/Node.js/Cloud Run) that parallel-processes multimodal AI. It takes an empty room photo and simultaneously generates a photorealistic staged image (Gemini 3.1 Flash Image Preview), a marketing narrative (Gemini 2.5 Flash), and a studio voiceover (Google Cloud TTS). I learned a ton about orchestrating multiple AI APIs without hitting server timeouts!
Fun Fact: By day I'm a Senior Data Scientist, but I'm also fully licensed in both real estate and insurance. Basically, I can build the AI to stage the house, legally sell you the house, and write the insurance policy for you and your family all in one go! 😂
Looking forward to connecting with you all and reading about your projects! Let me know if anyone is currently wrestling with the Gemini API or Cloud Run—happy to help!
Hey everyone, I’m Jeroen from the Netherlands.
I’m a developer working mostly with Rails, Shopify, APIs, and backend architecture. I like building useful things, fixing weird edge cases, and turning painful technical lessons into practical write-ups other developers can actually use.
I joined to share what I’m learning, especially around reliability, debugging, and building production systems without hating myself later.
Looking forward to reading people’s posts and meeting other devs who are deep in the trenches too.

Ciao!!!, I am Italian. I worked in IT for 40 years. From 1986. Now i am retired, but never lost the passion to technology and new things. I am here to know and to share what i learned (tricks and mistakes). In my long journey my first rule was "Do is funny - Redo is hell", than before do think, think, think...
If you want to know more about me and maybe find useful open source things i did visit my web site NoSpace.
I will be glad if i can help someone, or discuss about my works.
Sorry for my english not always perfect. Forgive me.
Nice day to all.

New Function Proposal: REVWORKDAY for Advanced Supply Chain Logic
By: Gaspar Ramos da Silva Novais
Scope: Global Logistics & Data Integrity
It demonstrates that the absence of an inclusive reverse function compromises retrospective audits in organizations and governmental institutions. To bridge this gap, I propose the creation of the REVERSE WORKDAY (REVWORKDAY) function.
Asymmetry: The standard WORKDAY function is projective (exclusive). It disregards the starting point (Day 0), which is acceptable for future projections but critically problematic for retrospective calculations.
Operational Impact: When determining the start date of a 30-business-day operation that ended on 27/02, current logic effectively "censors" the 27th. This forces managers into manual adjustments to avoid losing billable days or miscalculating labor allowances.
B. Algebraic Differential
Unlike the current function, if the end_date falls on a business day, it must be counted as Day 1 of the calculation.
Proposed Internal Logic: Result = WORKDAY(end_date + 1, -days, [holidays])
C. PROOF OF CONCEPT (Angola Logistics Scenario)
Consider a 30-business-day contract in Cabinda, ending on Friday, 27/02:
Standard WORKDAY: Returns a date that, in practice, implies payment for 31 days of effort due to the exclusion of the end date.
REVWORKDAY (Proposed): Identifies the exact starting date, validating the fiscal period without audit distortions.
Hi All - I am an AWS Cloud Architect and all around lover of technology. I specialize in rapid prototyping and helping my friends and customers get their ideas off the ground quickly. Happy to be here and help you with any idea!
Hey!
I happend to stumble upon this when trying to spread my wings in the AI/dev-compartment.
This is my first time actually posting any content or interacting with people in this way, so please be kind! I'm a 34-year old father of 5 who lives in Sweden. On my "freetime" I'm at the moment developing my own 16-agent local AI stack and I'm trying to document it all to share with you guys!
Hope you will take your time and have a look at it later on.
Thanks for having me! 😁
Hey everyone! I'm Hari from India.
I work on growth and GTM at Gistr, an AI-powered learning companion that helps you actually retain what you read, watch, or listen to. Think YouTube videos, PDFs, podcasts, all in one place with AI-assisted notes and highlights.
One of the main reasons I joined DEV is to connect with writers and tech journalists who cover tools in the productivity, PKM, or AI space. If you write about this stuff or know someone who does, I'd love to just have a conversation, no pitch, just curious how you think about covering new tools.
Outside of work I'm into film, photography, and building small things on the side. Happy to be here!
Hey everyone! I'm Robin, founder of Unshift (unshift.ai).
I've been lurking here for a while and finally decided to introduce myself. I'm passionate about the React/Next.js ecosystem and building tools that help developers ship faster without sacrificing code quality.
I'm here to connect with like-minded builders, learn from the community, and share what I'm working on. Always happy to chat about Next.js, AI-assisted development, or the indie hacker journey.
Looking forward to meeting you all!
Welcome to DEV.to, Robin! Building tools for developers sounds awesome.
Hi everyone 👋
I'm a web developer who enjoys building small and practical online tools. I recently launched a simple Polish attendance calculator designed to help students and teachers quickly calculate attendance percentages and generate reports.
I’m interested in building micro tools, experimenting with web projects, and learning new ways to solve everyday problems with simple software.
Looking forward to learning from the community and seeing what everyone else is building here.
Fun fact: I like turning small everyday problems into tiny web tools just for the fun of it 😄
Hi. Welcome to the community! 🥳
We all would love to use your web tools and learn from you how to make our small everyday problems into tiny web tools.
Hello folks,
I'm Dima, a software and product engineer from Germany.
Most of my career I worked on tools for developers at JetBrains. It was a great time. It shaped me as a professional and in many other ways.
Currently, I'm building apps solo. I enjoy creating products that solve my own issues, and now I'm focused on XSpeak.
These days I'm mostly interested in local LLMs, their creative applications, and their limitations.
I'm here to write about my journey as a solo developer and local LLMs and to learn from others doing the same. If you know someone worth following here, please let me know :)
Hi everyone 👋
I’m a software engineer interested in incident investigation and debugging in distributed systems.
Lately I have been building a few things around production troubleshooting:
• Incident Engineering Patterns – recognising common failure patterns during incidents
• AWS Log Search Recipes – practical log queries for finding signals quickly
• ExplainError – a small experiment in structured error classification (confidence, evidence, and action signals)
The goal is to make '2am incident triage' a little less chaotic.
Always happy to learn how others investigate production issues or debug tricky failures.
Looking forward to learning from the community.
Hello Dev! I am an algorithm engineer and also a vibe-founder, I love to exploring the magic behind the scenes, so does grounding products with limited resources. Looking forward to meet, connect and build together here!
Hello I’m Suman Jangili! 👋 Excited to join the team
Hi everyone,
I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself as I settle into the role of Full-Stack Engineer and Open-source lover.
I have been working for building end-to-end web apps that are privacy-by-design. My work is driven by performance, security, and strict compliance with data protection regulations. My background is heavily focused on building lightweight, self-hosted tools that prioritize data ownership—specifically, I’ve worked on projects like a Real-Time Collaborative Markdown Editor (built with a Rust backend and React + Vite UI) and a Live Issue Board for remote teams.
I was drawn to the challenge of optimizing the AI model routing. The opportunity to work with both technical excellence and user trust was the deciding factor for me.
ince joining, I’ve been diving deep into our Rust with React architecture. It’s been fascinating to see how we handle high-concurrency requests while maintaining end-to-end encryption. so please feel free to point me toward any documentation or best practices you think I should prioritize.
Outside of coding and privacy tech, I’m actually a nature lover.
Looking forward to collaborating with you all and contributing to the team’s success. Feel free to drop by my virtual desk if you want to chat about anything!
Best,
Suman Jangili[sumanjangili.com]
Hello, community! Happy to join!
I work at the intersection of business and AI — designing automation and AI systems around how companies actually operate.
Recently I’ve been experimenting with replacing a traditional portfolio site with an AI assistant that can explain my projects and discuss automation ideas.
Looking forward to learning from the community and sharing some of the experiments along the way.
Hey! I'm Fabricio, a Software Engineer and SRE from Brazil, currently doing a Master's in Applied Mathematics at Unicamp researching autonomous anomaly detection for Linux systems.
I'm here mainly to write about the stuff I'm actually building: eBPF, Mahalanobis Distance, kernel-level failure detection, and why Prometheus can't save you in the first 2 seconds of a memory leak.
Curious fact: the architecture of my project is inspired by the human spinal reflex — the idea that survival-critical responses shouldn't wait for the brain to decide.
Hey everyone! 👋
I'm a project manager in hotel/travel tech.
I have some pets - Chrome extensions. My latest one, XML Stream Parser, came out of frustration with trying to debug 1.8 GB reservation dumps without my laptop catching fire.
Currently figuring out the Chrome Web Store SEO game and learning that shipping is 20% of the work, getting discovered is the other 80%.
Happy to connect with anyone building browser extensions or dev tools!
Hey everyone! 👋 We're the team behind OpenClawCash.com, a wallet API built specifically for AI agents. We're here to share what we're learning at the intersection of AI and crypto infrastructure, and hopefully connect with other builders working in the same space. Excited to be part of the community!
