Hi I am a Vibe Archeologist which means a old fellow try to ride on a newest technology. My discipline based on minimalism, so my favorite development place is terminal. But I also keen on a content importance. Plus I belive a free development stuff, not just a coding tools, but a good free vector draw application (we do not forget to draw even with able to use a lot of crazy AI image and video generation) is also one of my goal.
Hey Peter! Hope you are well! Never heard of Vibe Archeologist just now. Great to know!
Nice to meet you Peter! Haven't really met alot of terminal coders... And dig minimalism too.. Hope we could connect sometime
Hey petter! I like your ideas... Your way of thinking is so unique😃
I've got you. I'll use AI and deep GPR to vibe code your name into the likenesses of archeologists. Ask and you shall receive
Thx, I try to combine old things to current one so mainly I am archeologist my own mind. This is lead me to able understanding the Bible vs Technology is a fake ( that can be reduce to a bracket handling problem ). Just need to deep diving into each problem to the core, that is my method.

Hi all! o/ I'm a dev and security researcher working on building Sentinel-Proxy AI Firewall currently. I'm one of the ancient ones, been around since FIDOnet and IRC days :D I'm skilled with factory automation, *nix, coding and Cisco networking. Hopefully I can bring something interesting to this space. Thank you!
Hey Cor! Welcome to Dev :D
How long have you been a security researcher?
Welcome Cor! o/ Hearing someone mention FIDONet and IRC days is awesome. 🚀 The Sentinel-Proxy AI Firewall sounds like a serious project. Security is always a top priority for web architecture, so I'm really looking forward to your insights here!
Hi,
I am Anthony, I work as part of a small team, we are trying to make life simple for people again and fighting the big cloud by doing things differently with TierHive and other toolsets around the Hosting Industry.
I was made aware of this community and thought... why not.
Let's see how it goes.
Hey Anthony! Welcome to Dev.to :D
Hi Anthony! 'Fighting the big cloud' is a great mission statement. Finding simple, independent hosting toolsets is always a challenge when deploying web apps. I'll definitely keep an eye on what you build. Welcome to the community! 💻
Hey! I'm Heiner, a software developer with 20+ years of experience.
I'm into automation, AI, and building tools that make workflows smarter.
Most recently I built obs-framebridge — an OBS Studio plugin that
gives Lua scripts real-time pixel access to any scene, enabling
automatic scene switching without hacks.
Looking forward to sharing more projects here!
Hey Heiner! Hope you are well. Welcome to Dev.to!
There are a lot of great people who has similar years of experience as you! Great that you are continuing your Dev journey :D
What inspired you to build the obs-framebridge? Regardless, hope you are doing well on your journey and good luck :D

Hey! I'm a frontend engineer co-founding Grafos AI to help SWEs safely self-serve Terraform without breaking things. I'm here to share our journey building in public, talk about the friction between devs and infra, and learn from the community
Bom Dia Jose !
Welcome here, would love to connect and see Grafos 🔥
Olá Valentin!
Thank you! We would love to have you on board. You can try grafos.ai for free today
We are actually launching the alpha of a new version soon, if you would like to join our waitlist and help us shape the product you can do it here grafos.ai/early-access
Hey Jose! Great to hear and welcome to Dev.to! How long have you been a developer for and what led you into becoming a frontend engineer? In any case, welcome and hope your journey here goes well :D
Hi DEV community! I'm Nahrin — software engineer and independent researcher building open source tools grounded in peer-reviewed science.
I joined yesterday after launching Navox Network on ProductHunt — a tool that maps your LinkedIn network using Granovetter's weak ties theory.
Funny story: I had no idea who I was competing with on launch day. Turns out it was Anthropic's Claude Computer Use (616 upvotes) and Google Gemini in Chrome with Sundar Pichai on the launch team (193 upvotes).
I got 107. Solo. No team. No budget.
I'll take it. 😄
Apparently competing with billion-dollar companies on your launch day is the best way to introduce yourself to a new community.
Built with Next.js, TypeScript, react-force-graph-2d — and shipped in 6 days using Claude Code.
Open source ⭐ Github
Happy to be here!
Hey Nahrin! Well achieved!! Hope you are well :D
You had great accomplishments you have listed. Great work so far! How long have you been a software engineer for and how did you get that motivation to achieve your goals?
Welcome aboard :D
Hey Francis, thanks! 😊 7 years in software, but honestly, it wasn't a smooth ride — I'm a career changer. I spent many years working as an architect (buildings, not software!) before making the switch. That struggle is actually what drives me now — once you've done a full pivot, you stop being afraid of hard problems. What keeps you motivated in your work?
Thanks! For me, it's doing things small and not get to overworked. If you do a big task, you tend to not be motivated to keep going. I tend to work in small chunks. That way, I get progress. Thanks again!
Same here! My approach is: build fast, test fast, and double down on what attracts attention. 🚀
Hi Nahrin — welcome to the DEV community! 👋
That’s honestly an incredible launch story 😄 Competing head-to-head with giants like Anthropic and Google on day one and still pulling 107 upvotes solo is no small feat — that says a lot about both your idea and execution.
Navox Network sounds super interesting, especially applying Granovetter’s weak ties theory to LinkedIn — that’s a really smart and meaningful angle. I’d love to hear what insights users are discovering from their network maps so far.
Also, shipping in 6 days with that stack? Respect. 🚀
Glad to have you here — looking forward to seeing what you build next!
Hi everyone,
I’m working on a project called K501 — an append-only information space focused on structured and reproducible knowledge.
My background is more system-oriented, thinking about data, structure, and long-term consistency rather than typical application development.
Currently exploring how to build stable knowledge systems that can be used over time, including for AI-related contexts.
Glad to be here and looking forward to learning and exchanging ideas.
Hey K5! Welcome to Dev.to and good luck on your journey here :D
Thx FrnTRd 😉… best Wishes..
Hey everyone 👋
I’m Sibin, a web developer based in Kerala. I mainly work with React and Node.js, building websites and small web apps for startups and local businesses.
Lately, I’ve been focusing on helping small businesses get a proper online presence instead of relying only on Instagram or WhatsApp. Clean UI, fast performance, and real usability — that’s what I try to deliver.
Always open to feedback and discussions 👍
Portfolio
Hey Codenaxa! Welcome to Dev.to. Check out the Portfolio and it seems you specialize in providing websites for small business. It looks great and clean! Great work :D
How long have you been a web developer for and what is your advice into getting into that field?
Been doing web dev for a while, mostly building for small businesses.
My advice: skip endless tutorials—build real projects, that’s what actually teaches you.

AI Goat sounds very cool!
Hi all - I'm Chris. Like Peter Vivo I guess I must be considered a Vibe Archeologist (I'm on the wrong side of 65...). I'm brand new to dev.to; I wish I had found this community earlier!
I've been coding for about 6 years - totally self-taught. I've built a number of full-stack projects over the years, but I've really become excited about using Cursor, Google AI Studio, Claude Code, etc. over the last few years.
At the moment I'm building some APIs for devs who build in the ai agent space. I'm happy to share if anyone is interested. I look forward to connecting with the rest of the community!
Welcome to the community!!
Hi there!
I'm an iOS Engineer from Japan. 🍵
Just published my first hobby project: Wevo (a trust-history app built with Swift & Vapor).
Check it out here:
dev.to/h1d3mun3/introducing-wevo-b...
Happy coding! 💻️
Cool!
Thanks!
I believe it's getting harder to trust each other based only on "What Did You Do Before," especially as AI spreads.
In the post-AI era, I feel we need more "Personal Context" in addition to that.
Currently, both our history and our "Personal Context" are locked into platforms—even though they belong to us.
What if the platform ends? What if you get a 503 from the server?
You lose everything.
Wevo is a way to get that "Personal Context" back into our own hands.
(Apart from whether Wevo gets popular or not! :p)
Hey 👋
Currently building a SaaS around recurring expenses.
Spending most of my time talking to users and trying to understand what’s actually worth building before going too far.

Hello, I'm Cody. In recent days, I'm trying to build service to make ours life better and happier. Let's have fun!
Hi Cody, Welcome to the community 🥳.
What services are you building?
I'm recently making 2 services. first one is called "BrainBed" which is for the people who struggles Brain Fry to force them to take a rest, and second one is called "TradeGate" which is chrome extension to block people trading without enough consideration.
Wow, Cody. Both of these sounds interesting and fun. All the best for making these two services and many more to come.
What are the insights that you found interesting to share while building both of these services or any lessons that helped you build these services faster.
Hi All, I am a newby coder. Hoping to learn as much as possible about coding.
Hey Elsenette! Welcome to Dev.to! Anything you are learning in particular for coding? In any case, welcome :D
Hey! Thank you so much! I’m currently learning web development—focusing on HTML, CSS, and starting with JavaScript. I’ve been using freeCodeCamp and MDN to build a solid foundation. Really excited to be here and learn from everyone!

Hello! my name is Peter I'm a Game Engine programmer in the AAA space. Looking to connect with folks and see what everyone's building
Hey Peter! Welcome to Dev.to! How long have you been a Game Developer for and what inspired you to become a programmer?
Since about covid! prior to that- I was an electrical engineer.
I don't really remember what made me want to be a programmer, I've been programming since I was a kid.
So I assume it was video games
Hewo :3
Tbh I’m js here to chill, I ain’t got non else goin on…. but if anyone wanna talk, I’m free….
Hey Solo! Welcome :3
What do you like to talk about? Any games you been playing? In any case, welcome to Dev.to :D
I like to talk Abt anything really, uhmmmmm..... I actually don play games as much anymore.... and thank you ;)

Hello
Welcome to everyone who reads articles at a time when most people prefer spending time on TikTok instead of self-improvement. And big respect to content creators who don’t use AI, it’s nice to read something a person has really worked on. :)
Hey everyone 🫡 Ceyhun here.
Digital Analytics & AI Consultant based in Turkey, running a one-person company called Dnomia.
I've published 4 posts here so far and had some really valuable exchanges in the comments. That back-and-forth is honestly what keeps me coming back.
Day job: helping e-commerce brands with web and product analytics. The rest of my time goes into building tools that scratch my own itch and sharing experiences on my personal website.
Currently working on:
Also a maker on the side: 3D printing, laser cutting, sewing. The overlap between physical making and software building keeps things interesting.
Always happy to connect with folks working on analytics, developer tooling, or the solo founder grind. Looking forward to reading what you're all building.
Welcome to the community, Ceyhun 🥳.
Amazing articles keep writing amazing articles like these. What's your favorite thing to build using 3d print that actually you found helpful later?
Thanks @konark_13, appreciate that!
The most useful prints have been custom organizers and mounts for my workspace, things that fit exactly where you need them. But I also use it for all kinds of stuff: small sculptures for brands, custom lighting setups for my plants, replacement parts for my bike, enclosures for electronic circuits. I also combine 3D printing with epoxy and polyurethane silicone molding, which opens up a whole different range of possibilities. That's the beauty of it, once you have a printer, you start seeing problems differently. Everything becomes "I could just print that." 😀
Wow, sounds interesting. I think I need to get one soon. Your ideas are tempting me 🤣.
I heard it produces a lot of waste too or if a project didn't turn out well it is wasted what you do with the wasted one? What should print as my first print?
It does produce some waste while you're getting to know your machine and filaments, but honestly it's not that different from cooking. Over time you develop a feel for the right settings and the results get consistently good. As for failed prints, you can grind them up and repurpose the material, share them with local recycling communities, or some people melt them down into keychains and small items (though I wouldn't recommend doing that at home without proper equipment). For your first print, most people start with a vase or a pen holder. No rule about it, just a common first instinct. My first print was a pen holder too 🤣
Okk nice. You are tempting me to buy a 3D printer 😂.
Thanks for helping me and suggesting me. Which brand should I buy Bamboo labs? What should I look for before buying a 3D printer?
Hey everyone! 👋
I'm Sonia, co-founder of The Good Shell - a DevOps, SRE and Web3 infrastructure consultancy. My co-founder Jose is the engineer; I handle the commercial and content side, which means I spend a lot of time translating infrastructure problems into things humans can understand.
I'm here because our work lives at the intersection of Web3 and DevOps - validator operations, Kubernetes for private chains, CI/CD for node upgrades, bootnode security - and Dev.to feels like the right place to share what we learn in production.
Just published our first article here on bootnode security hardening, including some findings from recent eclipse attack research on post-Merge Ethereum. Would love feedback from anyone running validator infrastructure. ¡Looking forward to being part of the community!
Welcome Sonia! Honestly the bootnode security stuff caught my eye, not many people write about eclipse attacks with real production data. How do you handle the tradeoff between bootnode diversity and latency on your validator setups? Definitely reading that article tonight.
Thanks Valentin! In our current setups (running several testnets across different projects) we usually go with a minimum of 3 bootnodes per geographic region (AWS, GCP, or bare metal if possible, iykyk). They're distributed, but we don't obsess over latency between them the way we do with validators because bootnode latency simply isn't on the same critical path as attestation timing. That's what lets us prioritise diversity without it becoming a performance problem.
Are you running your own bootnodes or relying on public ENRs?
Hi everyone, my name is Justin, I really like easy to use software and no code software. I am also interested in white label tools and want to see others do here as I am building a directory around this. I recently joined, so learning and understanding the posts and culture here. Saw some interesting stuff so far.
Welcome to the community, Justin 🥳.
What's your favorite nocode software. Is it Claude or any other?
Can you tell me more about white label tools? I am curious to know about them. All the best for your journey.
@konark_13, thanks for the welcome! I don't have any favorites, I like to dabble at this point. I currently don't have any white label tools but soon come My focus now is to build a directory listing various white label tools across many niches. White label means different things to different people, so I am trying to bring some structure, which could hopefully help a provider in better defining their ICP or a buyer in making a more efficient and informed decision.
I did a bit of a use case for it here: dev.to/iwhitelabel/the-mess-behind...
Wow, nice article Justin. Keep up the good work.
Keep writing amazing articles like these and looking forward for your article on white label. It seems like an interesting topic to me.
Appreciate the message!
Have a great time on this platform. All the best for your journey.
Hello Everyone,
although I signed up 2 years ago, I never really got engaged with dev.to. Now I've written my first 3 articles and read a TON of them here, learning interesting insights. About me: I am old school, CLI first, and database layouts on paper or blackboards. Nowadays, with the new tools, specially AI, my coding has improved by leaps and bounds. I have been able to go back and refine it, catch unseen redundancies and in general, produce better code.
As for my most current project, it is called Dennis, a code refractor and transformation tool, with lineage, security and even a repository for public artifacts. It is a big project, developing solo and if anyone wants to take a look, send me a msg and I will share with you my project. I would appreciate any input. I won't post the link here because this is not about promoting my project, but just to say hello to everyone and to say sincerely, thank you, to all the wonderful community, their insights and articles (that I read avidly) are very good. Cheers.
Welcome to the community 🥳.
Looking forward for your project called Dennis. It sounds interesting and fun. Keep up the good work and keep writing amazing articles.
Any lessons you wanna share that you learned while building Dennis.
Thank you for your kind reply,
If you want to learn about Dennis, I would point you to my articles. The fourth article in the series is coming up...
Surely, keep up the good work. Looking forward for this article and many more to come.
Hey everyone, glad to join.
I am Aniela and I spent around 6 years working as a Java developer, mainly on SAP Commerce Cloud projects. Spent two years on production support too.
Now I’m trying to transition from being a technical person into building products myself. I want to get better at product, marketing, and sales too. Happy to be here.
Welcome to the community, Aniela 🥳.
What's a small advice for a new beginner Java developer from your experience?
All the best for your journey. Hope to see you rise and shine. What have you learned about marketing and sales. Any insights you wanna share?
Thanks a lot! 🙌
For Java I'd say it's important to focus on fundamentals at first.
For marketing and sales I'm still figuring out, but one thing I noticed is how important it is to be clear. A stranger should understand what you do from one sentence.
Wow, thanks for your wonderful advice.
Yes, of-course that is one of the most important thing that a 'stranger should understand what you do from one sentence'.
Have a great time here. Looking forward for your articles.
Thank you!
Hi everyone! I'm Anupam, a frontend developer who loves building modern, responsive apps with React.js and TypeScript. I'm here to learn, challenge myself, meet awesome developers… and let's be honest, grab some bucks from these challenges too. 😄💻💰
Welcome to the community, Anupam 🥳.
What's your go to npm package for frontend that helped you a lot while building modern websites. Don't say tailwind 😅. Any other useful packages that we should also try.
hello @konark_13 I won’t say Tailwind… but Tailwind always wins 😂. It’s my go to for styling, Lucide for icons, and recently I’ve started using shadcn.
Ohh nice, have you heard of aceternity? Have you tried or used it?
What's the most special thing about shadcn that makes you go to it again and again.
Hey everyone, I'm Ben, a solo founder in London and brand new to DEV so excited to be here!
Working on a project at the moment that I'd love to get some feedback on but don't want to spam everyone here with my pitch. So instead thought i'd be helpful first up and offer to test and give feedback on anyone's projects that you're working on and want feedback on.
Let me know what you're wroking on and how I can help test. Drop in the comments or DM me.
All the best!!
Welcome to the community, Ben 🥳.
What's your biggest learning as a solo founder? Do you have agentic workflows for pitching and marketing or you do that on your own?
Thanks, Konark. Biggest learning has been setting clear goals - the ease of adding "just one more feature" these days combined with no accountability to anyone else makes it a real challenge to not just keep building.
Wow, such a valuable lesson. I'll keep this in mind and ask for your guidance when going as a solo founder. All the best for your amazing journey and have a great time here.
Hi everyone! I'm FreeRave, a software developer and security enthusiast. I spend most of my time architecting DotSuite, an open-source ecosystem designed to streamline developer workflows.
Currently, I’m heads-down on a major architecture shift for DotShare (v3.0.x)—transforming it into a full-scale publishing & analytics command center within VS Code. I'm also deep in the trenches with DotSense, a cross-platform mobile project.
Hey Dev community, DevH0us3 !
While everyone else is busy publishing the latest AI hype or which new libraries just dropped, I’m doing something different: I study the ruins of the world's most famous software disasters
I believe that the fastest way to become a super engineer who builds truly secure and resilient products is to learn from the catastrophic mistakes of others
In my blog, I perform "Software Forensics" on epic fails
I’ve already broken down:
Why follow me?
Beyond history, I share free utilities I've built to help developers audit their own security

Hey everyone! 👋
I'm a solo developer based in Japan, building and running a small SaaS called
rpalert.dev — it monitors web performance regressions so you catch slowdowns before
your users do.
I wear all the hats: frontend, backend, infra, support, and occasionally marketing
(badly). My stack is mostly Next.js, Supabase, and TypeScript.
Outside of coding, I'm into coffee and finding ways to automate the boring parts of
running a one-person product.
Always happy to talk performance, indie hacking, or anything dev-related. Nice to
meet you all!
Welcome to the community 🥳.
What are the lessons your learned while building rpalert.dev? What's your favorite thing to automate?
Thanks! 👍️
The biggest lessons were to start marketing earlier and not overbuild before launch. Early on, it’s better to ship a simple MVP and learn from real users.
RPAlert is meant to help catch production issues early in operations, so my favorite thing to automate is anything repetitive that helps surface problems faster and keeps me focused on building.
That's such a nice lesson to learn from. Thanks for sharing such valuable insight.
RPAlert sounds interesting and helping. I would love to use it and test it and yeah I also like to automate things. It is nice to have you in this community. Welcome aboard.
Hello everyone, I'm Charlie. I recently founded CG3, Inc. to build infrastructure and services for agentic AI, and being able to connect with people and potentially share technical blogs is part of what brings me here.
I'd love to hear about your experiences with agentic workflows, particularly the challenges/struggles you face in your daily usage.
Welcome to the community, Charlie 🥳.
Congrats on being a co-founder. What are the lessons you learned while building CG3.
I wanna start agentic workflow but stuck with just AI right. Any tools or architecture you wanna suggest to get me started?
Seems like Claude Code is ahead of the pack for now, so I'd suggest starting there. Instead of having it work on your existing projects, start something fresh specifically to learn what it can do. You might be surprised at how much it can get done with a little guidance.
Sure. I'll try claude code asap. Thanks for your advice.
What's your go to tool for agentic worklows?
hi everyone
Hey everyone! I'm Andrew, a full-stack developer from Kyiv 🇺🇦
I've been building web apps for about 10 years, mostly Laravel and React/Next.js. Recently I started working on ToolDock — a collection of browser-based dev tools I built for myself because I got tired of googling the same utilities every day.
The idea is simple: one place for all the small things — JSON formatting, JWT decoding, hash generation, CSS↔Tailwind conversion, and 60+ more. Everything runs in the browser so nothing leaves your device.
Happy to be here and looking forward to reading everyone's work!
Welcome to the community, Andrew 🥳.
Can you provide 3 valuable lessons from your 10 years of building that have immensely helped you.
ToolDock seems easy to use and everything combined. It seems to be easy, fast and all in one to help developer be fast and productive and have everything they love in one place. What's your favorite tool in tooldock that pushed you to make a whole dock for it. Keep up the good work.
I used to work a lot with a different companies by doing stuff I had to do. Made money but not always liked what I did. This Year I decided to work for myself and realized that being dev actually can be really fun and exiting. That's how tooldock was created - I just did what I like exploring new advantages of AI.
So my advice - do what you like to do - dev is not just about money but about fun and creating new and cool stuff. 🤗
Wow, such an amazing advice. Thank you for sharing such a valuable lesson.
"Do what you like to do". Feels like an amazing article heading that you should write about. All the best for your journey and have an amazing time here.

Hey! I'm Joel, building CandleDojo (candledojo.app)
Solo dev from Singapore. CandleDojo is basically Duolingo for reading candlestick charts - you get a real historical chart, call the direction, then watch the replay to see if you were right.
The idea came from noticing that every trading education resource teaches theory but none of them give you actual reps. Reading charts is a visual skill, so I built a trainer that lets you practice with real price data instead of just memorizing pattern names.

Hey everyone!
I'm Sven, a developer from Germany building Tracetics — a lightweight analytics tool that helps you understand where users drop off in your funnels. It works for any kind of web app (like Shopify, SaaS, mobile apps (React Native / Flutter)) via SDK and API.
Happy to be here and looking forward to connecting with the community!
Hi, all, I'm Ian, a product manager based in Seattle with about 15 years across games (Zynga through IPO, Microsoft Game Studios, Wargaming), real estate analytics (Plunk, through acquisition), and Web3/DeFi.
I've founded BI functions from scratch a few times and tend to build data infrastructure wherever I land... Python pipelines, BigQuery, that kind of thing. I'm currently building Shipwright, an open-source PM operating system on Claude Code, with quality gates and deterministic recovery playbooks. I am interested in AI tooling for knowledge work, product/data intersections, and anything games-adjacent.

Hi everyone! I'm Juanjo Payá, Senior Software Engineer from Spain, building software since 2003. Most of my career as CTO & Co-Founder, working with PHP and Symfony, but interested in other stacks too.
Lately I've been exploring AI-Augmented Development — integrating AI agents into real development workflows, not just as autocomplete but as actual collaborators.
I'm here mainly to learn how others are approaching this, and hopefully to share my own experience and discuss where this is all heading. Looking forward to the conversations!
Hi everyone! 👋 I'm HustlerV, a lifelong e-commerce and marketing guy from Czechia who's finally taken the leap into building my own thing after years of helping clients with their shops, SEO, and growth strategies.
What brought me here? Well, I've spent ages wrestling with content creation, keyword chaos, and trying to outrank competitors — and I got tired of it. So I taught myself coding (mostly late nights and lots of coffee ☕) and built SEOKRATES — an AI toolkit for e-shop owners and bloggers like me. It generates SEO-ready product descriptions, blog posts, topic clusters, FAQs, and even competitor analysis to help you rank higher on Google without the headache.
I'm doing this 100% solo, bootstrapping every penny from my own pocket because I truly believe in making tools that solve real pains. My first project isn't perfect (far from it!), and I'm just a humble marketer turned newbie dev. But I poured my heart into it, hoping it can save someone else time, stress, and maybe even boost their business a bit.
Excited to learn from all of you amazing folks here, share my journey, and hear your stories too! What's one tool or trick that's transformed your workflow lately?
Looking forward to connecting ❤️

Hello everyone! I'm Andrej, solo founder based in Dublin. I build SaaS products by day and open source developer tools by night.
Here to write about building tools, share what I learn, and meet other devs who are shipping things. Stopped writing code by hand which frees a lot of time so I want to get into writing and sharing my experiences with the rest of the world.
Happy days!
Hi — I'm Vinh. I've spent the last couple years working on AI agent reliability — specifically what breaks when agents move from demos into real engineering environments with real product stakes.
Most of my learning comes from building and testing agents in production-like environments rather than toy projects or benchmarks.
Recently focused on the gap between how agents understand code and how they understand product intent. Trying to make agents behave predictably when real codebases and real constraints are involved.
Here to learn from others building in similar areas and share practical lessons if useful.
Hi everyone,👋

All the best for your Maang journey. I hope you crack maang and your articles here help other people crack good companies. Looking forward for your articles.
What's your take on AI in backend is it helpful? I read a case recently where AI was asked to merge two products and it merged them by deleting the backend of one to make them on the same level.
Adam here, founder of Day Place Ltd. Just joined and excited to be part of this community.
What I'm building:
• AI Optimizer v2.0 — A caching layer that reduces LLM API costs by 10x (semantic + exact-match caching)
• Automation workflows — Helping businesses scale without adding headcount
• OpenClaw stack — Running my entire automation infrastructure on it
Why I'm here:
Honestly? To learn from all of you. I've been heads-down building for the last few weeks, but I know there's a ton of wisdom in this community about scaling, distribution, and avoiding the mistakes I'm probably about to make. 😅
What I can share:
If you're wrestling with LLM costs, I've got real-world data on what works (and what doesn't) with caching strategies. Happy to compare notes!
Looking forward to connecting and learning together.

Hello all, I am Dane. I've been a founder of a bunch of stuff and eyeballs-deep in co-work and claude code, hacking on my first real AI project, simsense.ai, which is an MCP server to push content out towards screens and URLs. It has been the most joyous creation process of a 30-year career. I haven't been engineering full time for a while, but glad to be here. Life is good.
Hey everyone — I'm George. 7 years in cybersecurity, from Application Security Architect to Security Policy Analyst. While building my own SaaS, I needed compliance tooling that didn't cost $50k or require a GRC team — so I built it myself.
That side project became CVERiskPilot — an open-source CLI that scans your dependencies, secrets, and IaC, then maps every finding to NIST 800-53, SOC 2, CMMC, FedRAMP, ASVS, and SSDF. One command, no account, runs offline.
Veteran owned, solo founded, bootstrapped from Texas. Here to learn the "getting it in front of people" part — which turns out to be way harder than writing the code.

Hello everyone, I'm Leandro, started today 😆
Please be gentle and nice! Nice to meet you all!
Welcome to the community, Leandro 🥳.
This community is pretty nice and supporting. Don't worry.
What are you learning or reading these days?
Thanks! Right now I'm studying the stack I'm using in my personal project: Flutter, Supabase, Riverpod, and GoRouter.
I'm building an ERP called ERP Modular, both as a portfolio project and as a way to learn software architecture, state management, and better development practices through real work instead of only theory.
I also just published my first post about the project here on DEV, and I plan to keep documenting the journey as I go.
Why you choose this particular stack? Any specific likings to this stack?
All the best for your project and all your articles. Your articles are amazing and insightful. Keep writing and grinding.
Looking forward for your articles. Have a great time here.
Thank you so much for the warm welcome and for your kind words.
I chose this stack for a mix of practical reasons and personal familiarity. Flutter was a natural choice because I already liked the language and had experimented with it in the past. This project is actually an evolution of a failed attempt I made some time ago to build an inventory control system for an industry environment, so I wanted to restart it with a more solid foundation.
Supabase came in as a strong recommendation, and it made a lot of sense for this stage of the project. It gives me authentication, PostgreSQL, storage, and row-level security without forcing me to build and maintain a custom backend from day one.
So the stack is basically the intersection of:
Thanks again. I’m really glad to be here, and I’ll definitely keep sharing the journey.

Hey nice to meet you, welcome :)
Hello everyone, I'm Shawn. 42 yrs old, undergoing a career change due to a car accident. I've always had an affection for technology but recently became fascinated with AI and it's capabilities. So while I've been unable to walk much the computer has kept me good company and led me here. I'm new to all of this so any help or advice for beginners is welcome. Right now I'm setting up my dashboard to work in Linux so any advice in that particularly is also welcome . TIA. Look forward to hearing from everyone.
Hi all, I'm Riley and I am new here, my colleague and I have founded a video game and software studio which is focusing on local-based, non subscription, AI assisted programs to help streamline the unpopular tasks within game development.
My first post on Dev.to actually shows a product we are releasing to the public once the final review is completed. Check it out if 3D model generation is up your alley!
Hey everyone,
I work at the intersection of systems thinking, AI, and knowledge structures.
Most of what I’m interested in is not tools themselves, but how things behave when they scale, lose context, or get interpreted by someone else (or something else).
Recently I’ve been digging into how knowledge actually holds up outside the original author — especially with LLMs in the loop.
I’ll be writing about where systems break, where assumptions hide, and how to make things more stable over time.
If you're curious, I’ve started putting some of these ideas into a series here:
Hey I'm Eric and I'm building (with the help of Claude) a learning platform/tracker for people like me struggling with ADHD. The problem I was facing in the past is that I couldn't keep my brain motivated on learning new things if they aren't entertaining enough. So I build a little dopamine boost and motivator.
