Hey Community 👋
I’m Katharina, a software developer, mainly C#, Clean Architecture, DDD. But to be honest, I always end up somewhere else.
Last stop: Python, graph theory and swarm intelligence.
Before that: hackathons with Wolfram Language, GeoPandas and Streamlit.
Next stop: unclear. Probably something I don’t know about yet.

Don't burnout Francis. You are a part of the community that is there to help you. I like replying to the comments. This community has always been so caring, supportive and so giving to me. I found amazing people like you.
I can't return the favor but would love to help in some way or the other. That's why I welcome everyone to this amazing community.
Don't feel burnout buddy. We are here. You can comment first and then leave the rest to me or other people sometimes. For me, it's super fun to interact with new people some are ceo, pm, 10+ years, 15+ years of experience and many more so asking them and talking to them feels amazing. Yes, making Richard proud. I can't replace him but would love to be like him and share and encourage everyone.😊
Hello all i'm siyadh 👋🏼---I build developer tools focused on cybersecurity, automation, and recon.
Right now i'm working on tools to streamline asset discovery, subdomain enumeration, and intelligence gathering into a single workflow. The goal is simple: reduce manual recon effort and make high-signal data easier to extract.
I spend most of my time exploring:
security tooling & offensive workflows
automation pipelines for recon and data collection
developer productivity (CLI tools, scripting, system design)
building practical, real-world projects instead of just theory
I'll be sharing what i build, what breaks, and what i learn along the way.
Always open to contribute with people working in security, dev tools, or anything in that space.
Sr Technical Writer passionate about information architecture, docs-as-code, and making complex information easier to comprehend. I write about technical documentation, UX, and mental health in tech.
I'm Alok - I build developer tools and I'm here mostly to cross-post the writing I already publish on my own site. My current project is ClipGate, a terminal-native clipboard vault for developers that auto-classifies every copy (secrets, code, URLs, errors, diffs, JSON, shell commands…) and keeps everything in an encrypted local SQLite database with no cloud or telemetry. It also ships an MCP server so Claude Code, Cursor, and friends can query your clipboard history without leaking secrets to the model.Topics I enjoy writing about: developer productivity, security hygiene, Rust CLI ergonomics, and the surprisingly deep rabbit hole that is "what happens when you copy something." Excited to learn from this community and trade notes with folks building in the same space.Happy to connect!

Developer and physics student.
I build tools that fit how I actually work — self-hosted, local-first, no switching tabs. Currently obsessed with making AI assistants that remember things.
I'm Liam, a software engineer with about five years of experience — full-stack to start, then a couple years leading an engineering team at AWS.
These days I'm studying physics at university while building a self-hosted AI assistant.
It started as a tab-switching fix and went somewhere deeper — persistent memory across sessions, a self-tuning feedback loop that scores its own responses over time, each conversation isolated in its own container.
Still going.
Looking forward to sharing things as I build them 😄

Hey Francis, appreciate it!
Regarding AWS - We worked on a product called "Resilience Hub", it's designed to provide cloud-infrastructure modification recommendations based on the client's specific resiliency goals (The concept of "resilience" in cloud infrastructure is focusing on cases where AWS servers are down for some reason, in different scales - Software, Hardware, Availability Zones, Regions).
Goals could be either "How long am I ok with AWS's servers down, until I act", and "How much 'data-time' I'm okay with losing, if at all".

Hey everyone! I'm Benji, building IssueCapture — a bug reporting widget for Jira and JSM. It's a JavaScript widget that captures screenshots, console errors, and network failures automatically and creates detailed Jira tickets.
The technical side has been a fun challenge — Shadow DOM for CSS isolation, Preact to keep it under 40KB, and Supabase with RLS for multi-tenancy. Currently working on AI-powered triage and duplicate detection using Gemini and pgvector.
Excited to share more technical deep-dives here. Happy to connect with anyone working on embeddable widgets, developer tools, or the Atlassian ecosystem.

IssueCapture it sounds like a perfect tool that can solve many issues. Keep building more stuff like this. Can you explain to what embeddable widgets are?
Thanks Konark! An embeddable widget is a piece of JavaScript that other websites add to their pages — usually with a single script tag. It renders its own UI (like a button or modal) on top of the host page. The tricky part is making sure your widget's CSS doesn't clash with theirs, which is why we use Shadow DOM for isolation.
Favourite dev tool right now is probably Supabase — Postgres with auth, RLS, and edge functions out of the box. Hard to beat for shipping fast.

I am a security architect that still likes to hack and tinker around software Mainly interested in application security, self-hosting and programming. Python and VIM FTW.
Hi! Is security frustrating for you? It doesn't need to be.
My name is Milo and I'm a security guy, mostly focused on application security. My experience ranges from penetration testing, through security engineering up to security architecture where I'm now.
The red line connecting these dots was always staying near to the developers. Security is important, but so is shipping features and I strive to remove the usual needless friction.
In the spare time I tinker with python and self-hosting. I might have an addiction to Advent of Code (325 stars and counting) and Factorio in the off-season.
I'll be sharing my experiments, thoughts and headaches. Please let me know if you have some burning questions, I'm happy to chat!

Hey folks! 👋 I’m Amit, a Senior AI Engineer specializing in Applied AI, startups, and backend infrastructure.
I've been leaning heavily into "learning in public" recently. I wanted a dedicated, developer-first community to share my digital garden - ranging from raw notes on AI courses I'm taking, to highly technical deep-dives on system architecture. I just published a post on severing the API cord to build fully offline AI agents, and Dev.to felt like the perfect place to geek out about it!
My GitHub handle is sectumpsempra 🪄. I like to think compiling llama.cpp from scratch for Apple Silicon optimization is the modern-day equivalent of reading the Half-Blood Prince's potion notes.
Super excited to connect with other builders here. If anyone is working on multi-agent systems, local open-source AI, or just hacking on cool side projects, say hi! 👇

I spent a lot of time figuring out how to run the 26B Gemma-4 model and the smaller Nemotron-nano 4B efficiently on my machine. The screenshots have the updated parameters - before that I did face high latency. Also, there seems to be a huge difference between running a model via llama.cpp vs ollama directly - especially with Opencode, but that is because Opencode adds a lot of prompt overhead making the token size ~ 10-15k.
Overall, it was a great experience being able to run everything locally without internet for the first time and its worth a try. I have downloaded qwen3.5:4B next for my experiment.

I was looking into Ollama and 3B size is around 3/4 GB then what size would be of 26B Gemma. Was it better than 3B or 7B? I never tried llama.cpp should I try it?
Yes, it is fun but I have a question there is no history once we close the sessions or the conversations get locally saved? Have fun in your next experiment.
Exploring the intersection of AI, infrastructure, and software engineering. Here I share what I build (like Ask Andela & InfraSquad) alongside the courses, learnings, and technical deep-dives.
Gemma-4 26B is approx. 18GB. llama.cpp isn’t required you can pull it via ollama and run it locally. I was trying to build an offline coding agent and hence the effort. One benefit of having a GGUF file is that it can be imported to ollama later with some changes.
Conversations can be saved locally, there are options in llama.cpp server settings at least - you can save them on disk/file. Thanks!
Frontend dev, 10+ yrs React. Creator of Evaficy Smart Test — AI-powered QA test management. Built to replace spreadsheets and manual test case writing.
Hi everyone! I'm Andrei, a Frontend Developer from Iași, Romania with almost 11 years of experience across e-health, e-commerce, and B2B applications. My main stack is React and TypeScript, though I've touched everything from Node.js and AngularJS to Web Components and Polymer over the years.
My current focus is building Evaficy Smart Test (app.evaficy.com) — an AI-powered test case generator and QA management platform I've been developing as a personal project. It combines OpenAI-driven test case generation with a full workflow: project management, expert validation, structured test runs, defect tracking, and a quality dashboard — all in one tool for QA teams.
What drew me here is the intersection of AI and developer tooling. I'm particularly interested in how AI can reduce the manual overhead in QA workflows without sacrificing the human judgment that makes testing reliable. Happy to talk React, full-stack architecture, or anything QA-related!

Thank you! The biggest lesson has been to stay focused — it's tempting to keep adding features, but shipping something simple and useful early teaches you far more than perfecting it in isolation. Also, real user feedback changes everything. Happy to be here!

Wow, such amazing lessons. Thank you for sharing such amazing insights. Staying focused and real feedback are the utmost part of being a better developer.
Hi everyone! My name is Zarko Nikolic, software developer from Serbia. I'm excited to finally introduce myself to this community. I've been lurking on Dev.to for a while, learning from your posts and discussions — and it's about time I showed up properly.
I'm a mid-level developer with several years of experience under my belt, and my journey has taken me across both the traditional web and the decentralized world. I started out building full stack web applications, getting comfortable with React.js on the frontend and .NET on the backend — and I genuinely love how those two together can produce clean, scalable products.
But at some point, I fell down the Web3 rabbit hole — and I haven't looked back. There's something about building decentralized applications and working with Blockchain technology that just clicked for me. The idea that code can be trustless, transparent, and community-owned is something I find genuinely exciting to build toward. Since then, I've been focusing on creating Web3 websites and dApps, combining my full stack background with smart contract development.
On top of that, I also work with Flutter for cross-platform mobile development — because why stop at the web?
I'm here to share what I've learned, the mistakes I've made, and the things I'm still figuring out. The Web3 space moves fast and I think open conversation in communities like this one is one of the best ways to grow — both as a developer and as a person in this industry.
If you're building in Web3, working with React or .NET, or just curious about decentralized tech — let's connect. I'd love to hear what you're working on.

Hi! Thank you so much for the warm welcome. I’m happy to be here!
Regarding tips from the world of virtual assistance that apply to any technical community, I’d say these three are the most impactful:
Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs): Even for personal projects, documenting your process helps you replicate success and troubleshoot much faster.
Time Blocking: Treating your learning or coding time like a client appointment ensures you make consistent progress without getting overwhelmed.
The "Inbox Zero" Mindset for Tasks: Keeping a clean, prioritized task list is just as important as keeping a clean codebase,it clears the mental clutter so you can focus on the logic.
I’m really looking forward to learning from everyone here and sharing more about how these worlds intersect!

I'm Jake. I mostly wanted to share stuff and learn from people without joining a sweaty discord or braving the AI-generated corporate waters that are the LinkedIn experience. I dabble in the dark arts of systems administration (I guess they call us DevOps/SRE/Platform now?).
Preamble - I spent 15 years as a professional saxophonist. Ok now the story begins... I got my start automating boring stuff (thanks Al Sweigart!) at a university admissions department because I was too lazy and/or impatient to do the same mind-numbing thing every day. Then, me and my good friend and World of Warcraft GM were raiding one night and he casually mentioned that I should get a job in IT since I taught myself python - enter my fever dream of being an SAP basis admin/dba turned DevOps engineer. I had zero experience and never heard of Linux. What the heck is a lag and why would I want one in my network (oh there are good LAGs apparently)? Eight years later I was working as a dev at AWS. Now I spend most of my day time hours poking at Kubernetes clusters and making tickets for other devs when I find n+1 queries or explaining microservices to executives who heard it on a podcast. I spend my nights reading sci-fi, fantasy, used compsci/math textbooks I get for free from FB marketplace. Sometimes I play (very badly) MTG or watch my wife play Playstation while I build and break my homelab. I also helped my wife deliver my 4th child on a sidewalk outside of a hospital. So close.

I'm a full-stack dev and infrastructure tinkerer based in Singapore. I spend most of my time building internal tools, wrestling with API integrations, and lately—obsessing over LLM cost efficiency.
What brought me here: I kept running into the same frustrating payment friction when trying to test new AI APIs from regions where PayPal isn't always smooth. Instead of just complaining, I ended up building a tiny prepaid proxy wrapper to solve my own problem (classic dev move, right?).
I'm here to learn how others are handling global payment layers for AI services, and to share what I've learned about the trade-offs between convenience, cost, and data privacy when using third-party API gateways.
Fun fact: I once debugged a production outage caused by a misconfigured base_url at 2 AM. Now I have trust issues with copy-pasting endpoints.

Hey Dev.to — I'm Femi, and I Build Things That Matter
My name is Femi Adedayo. I'm an AI Software Engineer, Automation Specialist, and Founder who believes the best software isn't just functional; it's purposeful.
By day (and most nights), I'm the Founder and CEO of Hgray AI Automation Agency, where we help businesses eliminate manual work and scale through intelligent automation and AI-powered software. I'm a verified n8n creator, and I love shipping production-ready systems that genuinely change how businesses operate.
I also co-founded Pearmedica, a healthcare AI platform building clinical decision support and medical intelligence infrastructure for African markets. And yes, I run Kaabo Lounge, a restaurant, café, and cocktail bar in Woolwich, London. Life is multidimensional. 😄
What I'm building right now:
One project I'm especially excited about is RAG-Forge, an open-source, framework-agnostic CLI toolkit that scaffolds production-grade RAG pipelines with evaluation baked in from day one, not bolted on after deployment. Think of it as create-next-app for RAG. The killer feature is rag-forge audit, which you can run against any existing RAG pipeline to instantly get an HTML health report scored against a built-in RAG Maturity Model (RMM-0 through RMM-5), surfacing chunking issues, retrieval gaps, and hallucination risks. It also ships with MCP server support and a native n8n workflow template, because that's the ecosystem I live in.

Software developer with 10 years. Currently most interested in the intersection of browser tooling and AI-assisted development.
I recently built an open-source project called Inspecto — a browser-first frontend workflow tool. The idea is simple: start from the webpage, precisely locate the source code, and seamlessly hand off context to your AI assistant. No DevTools, no manual file searching, no copy-pasting context. You click it on the page, the AI knows where to fix it.
Excited to join the DEV community! Happy to chat about AI tooling, developer experience, or dev workflows. 🙌

Freelance fullstack developer creating fast, modern, and refined applications. I focus on simplicity, performance, and real value for users. I also write tech-related articles here.
My background is in frontend & UI (6 years), and full stack development (2 years), and lately I’ve been spending a lot more time at the intersection of software, automation, and marketing systems.
What brought me here is probably the same thing pushing a lot of devs lately: trying to understand how technical work, AI, and business value fit together now that the barrier to building is getting lower.
Right now I’m especially interested in automation, lead-gen systems, content workflows, and how developers can think beyond just shipping features.
Fun fact: I’m the kind of person who would rather spend 20 hours building a system than pay $5 for a tool, even when that is clearly the worse decision.
Happy to connect with people building useful tools or thinking through similar shifts.

Hi, I'm Mayowa 👋 I'm new to cloud computing and DevOps, and I joined this platform to learn, practice, and grow my skills through hands-on experience — while connecting with others who are on the same journey🚀.
Hi everyone! I’ve been a "ghost" reader of Dev.to for a while, but I finally decided to jump in and join the conversation.
I’m the CMO at The Good Shell, and I know what you’re thinking: "Wait, a marketer on Dev.to? Is she going to talk about funnel conversion and lead magnets?"
Not exactly.
I’m obsessed with the bridge between Engineering and Growth. I’ve spent the last few years realizing that the best SEO strategy in the world is useless if the site is slow, the server is misconfigured, or the hydration strategy is killing the user experience.
I'm here to:
Learn more about how you're solving performance bottlenecks.
Share what I've seen in the "trenches" connecting SRE with organic growth.
Discuss why Technical SEO in 2026 is basically a sub-discipline of Platform Engineering.
When I’m not auditing Core Web Vitals or talking about TTFB, I’m probably trying to convince my team that infrastructure is the most underrated marketing asset a company has.
Excited to be part of the community and learn from all of you!

Hello all.
I'm an Instrument Technician by Trade, currently earning a living by leveraging my Electronics/Programming/Design skills to build cool new products and prototypes for my clients as a Freelancer.
In my off time, I like to build open source hardware and software solutions and share them with the world.
I'm a frontend developer who loves turning curious ideas into products and sharing the journey behind them. I write about React, AI, product thinking, and everything I learn while building.
I suppose one that comes to mind from back in the day, when I was still working as an Instrument Tech in the Oil & Gas Industry...
We were using a product called DataTaker DT50, built by an Australian company (now bought out by Thermo Fisher Scientific) and it used a proprietary scripting language to program it.
Building Data Acquisition systems with this product was time consuming and extremely annoying due to the products limited memory, processing power, and cryptic scripting language.
I took one of the devices home, along with an accompanying Industrial Touch Screen and in my spare time, figured out that the Touch Screen had ample memory and processing to spare and that the touch screen could actually be hacked to send program scripts to the DataTaker module.
I ended up coding a generic Data Acquisition System that the end user could setup in the field, adding only the types of sensors they needed and the HMI would automatically morph into a display that worked with that specific "recipe" AND send the program to gather the data on the DT50 data logger itself.
This setup eliminated the need to program custom scripts for each device and project, and could instead just be setup by a field employee with no programming experience.
When I had it completed, I showed it to my supervisor who called in the department lead from the head office. After viewing the setup, he insisted on paying me for all the time I spent on it, and distributed the system to every field office. I was pretty stoked!
A few years ago I ran into my old supervisor and he told me they were still using it years and years later and that when that specific model of data logger was EOL, they bought a bunch to hold in inventory so they could continue using the system.
All I wanted to do, by taking the system home and messing with it, was to get good enough not to embarrass myself from my lack of scripting knowledge and experience with the product line... and I ended up creating the standard that everyone relied on and used.
Whenever I have "Imposter Syndrome" type thoughts that I'm not good enough, or I'm not smart enough to make something work, I use the memory of this experience to power through and get s**t done!

Hey Community 👋
I’m Katharina, a software developer, mainly C#, Clean Architecture, DDD. But to be honest, I always end up somewhere else.
Last stop: Python, graph theory and swarm intelligence.
Before that: hackathons with Wolfram Language, GeoPandas and Streamlit.
Next stop: unclear. Probably something I don’t know about yet.
On GitHub, I go by the name lady-logic.
Looking forward to the community here! 🐇
Hi Katharina. Welcome to the community ! 😊
Made any games using C#? Any lessons that helped you win hackathons?
Have a great time here.🫡
I appreciate you taking the time to respond to almost everyone here as much as you could. I am almost burnt out from doing this lol
Thanks Konark! I appreciate it really! Making Richard proud :)
Don't burnout Francis. You are a part of the community that is there to help you. I like replying to the comments. This community has always been so caring, supportive and so giving to me. I found amazing people like you.
I can't return the favor but would love to help in some way or the other. That's why I welcome everyone to this amazing community.
Don't feel burnout buddy. We are here. You can comment first and then leave the rest to me or other people sometimes. For me, it's super fun to interact with new people some are ceo, pm, 10+ years, 15+ years of experience and many more so asking them and talking to them feels amazing. Yes, making Richard proud. I can't replace him but would love to be like him and share and encourage everyone.😊
Hi Konark,
no, I’ve never programmed games in C# before. Maybe I should give it a go.
I can’t recommend hackathons highly enough – you get to meet interesting people and learn a lot.

Hello! Welcome to
dev.to!I'm Alok - I build developer tools and I'm here mostly to cross-post the writing I already publish on my own site. My current project is ClipGate, a terminal-native clipboard vault for developers that auto-classifies every copy (secrets, code, URLs, errors, diffs, JSON, shell commands…) and keeps everything in an encrypted local SQLite database with no cloud or telemetry. It also ships an MCP server so Claude Code, Cursor, and friends can query your clipboard history without leaking secrets to the model.Topics I enjoy writing about: developer productivity, security hygiene, Rust CLI ergonomics, and the surprisingly deep rabbit hole that is "what happens when you copy something." Excited to learn from this community and trade notes with folks building in the same space.Happy to connect!
Hey Alok! Welcome to Dev! How long have you worked on ClipGate? Quite interesting and great work! Hope your journey goes well :D
Hi! Interesting… Nice to see you here!

Hey Dev.to 👋
I'm Liam, a software engineer with about five years of experience — full-stack to start, then a couple years leading an engineering team at AWS.
These days I'm studying physics at university while building a self-hosted AI assistant.
It started as a tab-switching fix and went somewhere deeper — persistent memory across sessions, a self-tuning feedback loop that scores its own responses over time, each conversation isolated in its own container.
Still going.
Looking forward to sharing things as I build them 😄
Very impressive Liam! Welcome to Dev! What did you work on in AWS in particular?
Hey Francis, appreciate it!
Regarding AWS - We worked on a product called "Resilience Hub", it's designed to provide cloud-infrastructure modification recommendations based on the client's specific resiliency goals (The concept of "resilience" in cloud infrastructure is focusing on cases where AWS servers are down for some reason, in different scales - Software, Hardware, Availability Zones, Regions).
Goals could be either "How long am I ok with AWS's servers down, until I act", and "How much 'data-time' I'm okay with losing, if at all".
That's the tip-of-the-iceberg summary 😅
Hi Liam. Welcome to the community ! 😊
Name three laws of motion😂. Any theory you read or studied that you fallen in love with?
All the best for your project. Have a great time here.🫡
Thanks!
Three laws of motion as of Newton's? because there are a lot more than that 😜
Personally - Special Relativity is my favorite, at least as of now 😃
Yes there could. I just touched physics got confused with so many theories and symbols.
Cool Special Relativity. Do you believe in Blackhole or a 4th Dimension?
Great to have everyone! You're highly encouraged to find a post you found helpful and leave a comment to the author!
Do it a few times to show your appreciation.
Hi all - I'm somewhat new to the platform. I've worked in startups and software companies for my entire career, currently building platforms with more emphasis on AI driven flows and the move towards "dark factories". I've been writing on other platforms for a while, and followed a few links for great reads here, and decided to start publishing on here as well.
Welcome Ryan! Hope you are well! Any plans on a specific topic you want to publish here (AI related articles or just all around?)
Hello! Didn't know about dark factories. Happy to learn something new, thank you! :)
Hello! Welcome.
Quick question, with the way agents and foundational LLMs change with each new release, how do you go about exploring their new capabilities?
Hey everyone! I'm Benji, building IssueCapture — a bug reporting widget for Jira and JSM. It's a JavaScript widget that captures screenshots, console errors, and network failures automatically and creates detailed Jira tickets.
The technical side has been a fun challenge — Shadow DOM for CSS isolation, Preact to keep it under 40KB, and Supabase with RLS for multi-tenancy. Currently working on AI-powered triage and duplicate detection using Gemini and pgvector.
Excited to share more technical deep-dives here. Happy to connect with anyone working on embeddable widgets, developer tools, or the Atlassian ecosystem.
Hi Benji. Welcome to the community ! 😊
IssueCapture it sounds like a perfect tool that can solve many issues. Keep building more stuff like this. Can you explain to what embeddable widgets are?
What's your favorite dev tool?
Have a great time here.🫡
Thanks Konark! An embeddable widget is a piece of JavaScript that other websites add to their pages — usually with a single script tag. It renders its own UI (like a button or modal) on top of the host page. The tricky part is making sure your widget's CSS doesn't clash with theirs, which is why we use Shadow DOM for isolation.
Favourite dev tool right now is probably Supabase — Postgres with auth, RLS, and edge functions out of the box. Hard to beat for shipping fast.
Wow, it sounds cool to use. I need to make an embeddable widget soon. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Ofcourse, Supabase is nice. Easy, functional and perfect backend.
Hello !! nice to meet you
Hi! Is security frustrating for you? It doesn't need to be.
My name is Milo and I'm a security guy, mostly focused on application security. My experience ranges from penetration testing, through security engineering up to security architecture where I'm now.
The red line connecting these dots was always staying near to the developers. Security is important, but so is shipping features and I strive to remove the usual needless friction.
In the spare time I tinker with python and self-hosting. I might have an addiction to Advent of Code (325 stars and counting) and Factorio in the off-season.
I'll be sharing my experiments, thoughts and headaches. Please let me know if you have some burning questions, I'm happy to chat!
Hey Miloslav! Welcome to DEV! What's your favorite part on doing application security and how long have you been in this field?
Honestly, the variety of it. Between code, users, bots, CI/CD, business requirements and hacking. Since there's always something to do, I'm happy I can pick what interests me. I got 9 years and counting.
Hi dev.to! I'm Stefanie! I am building agentic infrastructure and a whole array of open source / indie apps that you can find on Github. Just made my first post here about designing terminal interfaces and testing them with AI and automation 💜

Hey folks! 👋 I’m Amit, a Senior AI Engineer specializing in Applied AI, startups, and backend infrastructure.
I've been leaning heavily into "learning in public" recently. I wanted a dedicated, developer-first community to share my digital garden - ranging from raw notes on AI courses I'm taking, to highly technical deep-dives on system architecture. I just published a post on severing the API cord to build fully offline AI agents, and Dev.to felt like the perfect place to geek out about it!
I'm currently building and expanding two main tools: Ask Andela and InfraSquad.
My GitHub handle is sectumpsempra 🪄. I like to think compiling llama.cpp from scratch for Apple Silicon optimization is the modern-day equivalent of reading the Half-Blood Prince's potion notes.
Super excited to connect with other builders here. If anyone is working on multi-agent systems, local open-source AI, or just hacking on cool side projects, say hi! 👇
Hi Amit. Welcome to the community ! 😊
Amazing article Amit. Keep up the spirit. Any lessons you wanna share you learned that helped you in building these?
Have a great time here.🫡
Thanks @konark_13!
I spent a lot of time figuring out how to run the 26B Gemma-4 model and the smaller Nemotron-nano 4B efficiently on my machine. The screenshots have the updated parameters - before that I did face high latency. Also, there seems to be a huge difference between running a model via llama.cpp vs ollama directly - especially with Opencode, but that is because Opencode adds a lot of prompt overhead making the token size ~ 10-15k.
Overall, it was a great experience being able to run everything locally without internet for the first time and its worth a try. I have downloaded qwen3.5:4B next for my experiment.
I was looking into Ollama and 3B size is around 3/4 GB then what size would be of 26B Gemma. Was it better than 3B or 7B? I never tried llama.cpp should I try it?
Yes, it is fun but I have a question there is no history once we close the sessions or the conversations get locally saved? Have fun in your next experiment.
Gemma-4 26B is approx. 18GB. llama.cpp isn’t required you can pull it via ollama and run it locally. I was trying to build an offline coding agent and hence the effort. One benefit of having a GGUF file is that it can be imported to ollama later with some changes.
Conversations can be saved locally, there are options in llama.cpp server settings at least - you can save them on disk/file. Thanks!
For more details refer - unsloth.ai/docs/models/gemma-4
Thanks and happy building!
Hi everyone! I'm Andrei, a Frontend Developer from Iași, Romania with almost 11 years of experience across e-health, e-commerce, and B2B applications. My main stack is React and TypeScript, though I've touched everything from Node.js and AngularJS to Web Components and Polymer over the years.
My current focus is building Evaficy Smart Test (app.evaficy.com) — an AI-powered test case generator and QA management platform I've been developing as a personal project. It combines OpenAI-driven test case generation with a full workflow: project management, expert validation, structured test runs, defect tracking, and a quality dashboard — all in one tool for QA teams.
What drew me here is the intersection of AI and developer tooling. I'm particularly interested in how AI can reduce the manual overhead in QA workflows without sacrificing the human judgment that makes testing reliable. Happy to talk React, full-stack architecture, or anything QA-related!
GitHub: Programmer4web
Hi Andrei. Welcome to the community ! 😊
Wow Evaficy sounds nice and quite helpful. All the best for your project. What lessons your learned while building it?
One tip for beginner who wanna be a full stack developer.
Have a great time here.🫡
Thank you! The biggest lesson has been to stay focused — it's tempting to keep adding features, but shipping something simple and useful early teaches you far more than perfecting it in isolation. Also, real user feedback changes everything. Happy to be here!
Wow, such amazing lessons. Thank you for sharing such amazing insights. Staying focused and real feedback are the utmost part of being a better developer.
nice to meet you buddy!
Hi everyone! My name is Zarko Nikolic, software developer from Serbia. I'm excited to finally introduce myself to this community. I've been lurking on Dev.to for a while, learning from your posts and discussions — and it's about time I showed up properly.
I'm a mid-level developer with several years of experience under my belt, and my journey has taken me across both the traditional web and the decentralized world. I started out building full stack web applications, getting comfortable with React.js on the frontend and .NET on the backend — and I genuinely love how those two together can produce clean, scalable products.
But at some point, I fell down the Web3 rabbit hole — and I haven't looked back. There's something about building decentralized applications and working with Blockchain technology that just clicked for me. The idea that code can be trustless, transparent, and community-owned is something I find genuinely exciting to build toward. Since then, I've been focusing on creating Web3 websites and dApps, combining my full stack background with smart contract development.
On top of that, I also work with Flutter for cross-platform mobile development — because why stop at the web?
I'm here to share what I've learned, the mistakes I've made, and the things I'm still figuring out. The Web3 space moves fast and I think open conversation in communities like this one is one of the best ways to grow — both as a developer and as a person in this industry.
If you're building in Web3, working with React or .NET, or just curious about decentralized tech — let's connect. I'd love to hear what you're working on.
Happy to be here. Let's build something great. 🚀

Hi, I'm Sara Adebisi !
I am an undergraduate student and a Certified Virtual Assistant now pivoting into the tech ecosystem. My journey is currently fueled by:
DevOps: Learning the ropes of automation and infrastructure at She Code Academy.
Software Development: Building the foundations for scalable applications.
My background in virtual assistance has taught me the value of efficiency and clear communication, which I now apply to my code and DevOps pipelines. I’m here to learn, build, and grow with the community.
Hi Sara. Welcome to the community ! 😊
Wow nice to have experience in both. Any tips for us that we can apply from your virtual assistance?
Have a great time here.🫡
Hi! Thank you so much for the warm welcome. I’m happy to be here!
Regarding tips from the world of virtual assistance that apply to any technical community, I’d say these three are the most impactful:
Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs): Even for personal projects, documenting your process helps you replicate success and troubleshoot much faster.
Time Blocking: Treating your learning or coding time like a client appointment ensures you make consistent progress without getting overwhelmed.
The "Inbox Zero" Mindset for Tasks: Keeping a clean, prioritized task list is just as important as keeping a clean codebase,it clears the mental clutter so you can focus on the logic.
I’m really looking forward to learning from everyone here and sharing more about how these worlds intersect!
Wow, Sarah. Perfect lessons SOP, Time blocking, Inbox zero. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Amazing. I will try to implement these in my day to day life.
Hello there!
I'm Jake. I mostly wanted to share stuff and learn from people without joining a sweaty discord or braving the AI-generated corporate waters that are the LinkedIn experience. I dabble in the dark arts of systems administration (I guess they call us DevOps/SRE/Platform now?).
Preamble - I spent 15 years as a professional saxophonist. Ok now the story begins... I got my start automating boring stuff (thanks Al Sweigart!) at a university admissions department because I was too lazy and/or impatient to do the same mind-numbing thing every day. Then, me and my good friend and World of Warcraft GM were raiding one night and he casually mentioned that I should get a job in IT since I taught myself python - enter my fever dream of being an SAP basis admin/dba turned DevOps engineer. I had zero experience and never heard of Linux. What the heck is a lag and why would I want one in my network (oh there are good LAGs apparently)? Eight years later I was working as a dev at AWS. Now I spend most of my day time hours poking at Kubernetes clusters and making tickets for other devs when I find n+1 queries or explaining microservices to executives who heard it on a podcast. I spend my nights reading sci-fi, fantasy, used compsci/math textbooks I get for free from FB marketplace. Sometimes I play (very badly) MTG or watch my wife play Playstation while I build and break my homelab. I also helped my wife deliver my 4th child on a sidewalk outside of a hospital. So close.
And I brought the sour patch kids.
Hi Jake!
A saxophonist?! Do you still play?
I'm a pianist now newbie software engineer :) Hope I can learn from you on here as well!
Cheers!
Hi everyone! 👋
I'm Bulat here — software engineer in test [java, python, go] with a slight addiction to refactoring code that was 'working fine.'
I write about quality automation and its metrics — especially the parts nobody puts in the official docs. Just posted my second piece on why shift-left testing struggles on large systems, which might make some people uncomfortable. Good.
If you like content that challenges the status quo over content that just validates it, we'll get along great. Drop a follow and let's build something worth reading. 🚀
Hey everyone!
I’ve recently gotten interested in RAG and I’m working on an exploratory lab setup. I’m planning to write a short article about the journey — the good parts and the pitfalls.
Glad to be here 👋
Hi Markus. Welcome to the community ! 😊
RAG is quite interesting if you go deeper. Have you heard of Reranking. I was amazed to know about it.
All the best for your articles. Have a great time here.🫡
Hi Konark,
You’re absolutely right — reranking is a really interesting topic. In fact, the RAG‑LCC exploration lab already includes a reranking step when retrieving chunks from ChromaDB.
Thanks for your comment, I really appreciate it!
Wow, so cool. Looking forward for your exploration lab. I need weekly updates on your projects and topics you learned 😆.
All the best looking forward for your articles.
Heeeey! I'm Andrew from Italy -- Cyber security software engineer with 6] years of experience.
last months I'm studying AI stuff to become proficient in this field. One hour ago I published an article that talks about my last mini-project and first project with langchain.
Glad to be here!!!
Hello everyone, I’m Anukalp Pandey from Nepal, a Computer Science graduate.
I am currently contributing to open-source organizations like OWASP and Apache, starting with bug fixes and documentation improvements. I have a good understanding of Java, Python, and Networking, and I am currently learning Operating Systems, Data Structures & Algorithms, and System Design.
Happy to be here and looking forward to contributing more and exploring opportunities for contributions or job roles.
Hi Anukalp. Welcome to the community ! 😊
Any tips for a beginner open source contributer? Which organization to start from.
Have a great time here.🫡
Hello Konark,
If you are college student then i suggest that go to gosc website and see the latest organization particapated in the gsoc and grab the organization from there and start contribution like documentation improvement, small bug fix and try to understand there code base so later it will help to get chance to paricapate in gsoc and it's really fantastic idea for future and also see that which organization have good community interact with them and try to understand there need before fork any organization or contribute according to you skills. I hope it will help you.....If you need any further idea or help then feel free to ask.
Thank you.
Wow, such valuable insights. Thank you Anukalp. Keep sharing your open source journey. Looking forward for your articles.
Hey everyone 👋
I’m building BuildBaseKit — a collection of production-ready Spring Boot boilerplates.
Right now I’m focused on solving one problem:
making deployment and setup actually simple for developers.
Recently shipped a file server boilerplate that runs in minutes on a VPS.
Curious — what’s the most annoying part of deploying your projects?
Hey everyone! 👋
I'm a full-stack dev and infrastructure tinkerer based in Singapore. I spend most of my time building internal tools, wrestling with API integrations, and lately—obsessing over LLM cost efficiency.
What brought me here: I kept running into the same frustrating payment friction when trying to test new AI APIs from regions where PayPal isn't always smooth. Instead of just complaining, I ended up building a tiny prepaid proxy wrapper to solve my own problem (classic dev move, right?).
I'm here to learn how others are handling global payment layers for AI services, and to share what I've learned about the trade-offs between convenience, cost, and data privacy when using third-party API gateways.
Fun fact: I once debugged a production outage caused by a misconfigured
base_urlat 2 AM. Now I have trust issues with copy-pasting endpoints.Looking forward to reading everyone's intros and swapping war stories! If you've ever been stuck on a "minimum $5 top-up" wall, let's commiserate. ☕
Hey Dev.to — I'm Femi, and I Build Things That Matter
My name is Femi Adedayo. I'm an AI Software Engineer, Automation Specialist, and Founder who believes the best software isn't just functional; it's purposeful.
By day (and most nights), I'm the Founder and CEO of Hgray AI Automation Agency, where we help businesses eliminate manual work and scale through intelligent automation and AI-powered software. I'm a verified n8n creator, and I love shipping production-ready systems that genuinely change how businesses operate.
I also co-founded Pearmedica, a healthcare AI platform building clinical decision support and medical intelligence infrastructure for African markets. And yes, I run Kaabo Lounge, a restaurant, café, and cocktail bar in Woolwich, London. Life is multidimensional. 😄
What I'm building right now:
One project I'm especially excited about is RAG-Forge, an open-source, framework-agnostic CLI toolkit that scaffolds production-grade RAG pipelines with evaluation baked in from day one, not bolted on after deployment. Think of it as create-next-app for RAG. The killer feature is
rag-forge audit, which you can run against any existing RAG pipeline to instantly get an HTML health report scored against a built-in RAG Maturity Model (RMM-0 through RMM-5), surfacing chunking issues, retrieval gaps, and hallucination risks. It also ships with MCP server support and a native n8n workflow template, because that's the ecosystem I live in.What I'll be writing about:
If you're working in AI, automation, RAG, or healthtech, drop a comment or connect. Let's build something worth building. 🚀

Welcome to Dev.to Javier!
Hey! I'm Felix 👋
Software developer with 10 years. Currently most interested in the intersection of browser tooling and AI-assisted development.
I recently built an open-source project called Inspecto — a browser-first frontend workflow tool. The idea is simple: start from the webpage, precisely locate the source code, and seamlessly hand off context to your AI assistant. No DevTools, no manual file searching, no copy-pasting context. You click it on the page, the AI knows where to fix it.
Excited to join the DEV community! Happy to chat about AI tooling, developer experience, or dev workflows. 🙌
Hi Felix. Welcome to the community ! 😊
Inspecto seems pretty handy and useful. Something that was always wanted. Thanks for building such an awesome project. I would love to use it.
Have a great time here.🫡
Hi Konark! Thanks so much for the warm welcome and the kind words! 😊
I'm thrilled to hear that Inspecto resonates with you. If you end up giving it a spin, I'd absolutely love to hear your thoughts or any feedback you might have.
Thanks again, and enjoy the pizza! 🍕🙌
Hey! 👋 I'm Albert — Indie creator and UI Developer.
These days: building premium, plug-and-play UI widgets using pure Vanilla HTML/CSS/JS. Zero dependencies, instant load times, and easy integration for agencies and B2B SaaS.
I focus on creating micro-tools (like ROI calculators) that actually save developers hours of work and boost landing page conversions. No bloated frameworks, just clean code ready for production.
Glad to be here!
Hi Albert! I like your ideas!
Thank you! I invite you to look at my posts!
Hey everyone, I’m Mihai.
My background is in frontend & UI (6 years), and full stack development (2 years), and lately I’ve been spending a lot more time at the intersection of software, automation, and marketing systems.
What brought me here is probably the same thing pushing a lot of devs lately: trying to understand how technical work, AI, and business value fit together now that the barrier to building is getting lower.
Right now I’m especially interested in automation, lead-gen systems, content workflows, and how developers can think beyond just shipping features.
Fun fact: I’m the kind of person who would rather spend 20 hours building a system than pay $5 for a tool, even when that is clearly the worse decision.
Happy to connect with people building useful tools or thinking through similar shifts.

Hi everyone! I’ve been a "ghost" reader of Dev.to for a while, but I finally decided to jump in and join the conversation.
I’m the CMO at The Good Shell, and I know what you’re thinking: "Wait, a marketer on Dev.to? Is she going to talk about funnel conversion and lead magnets?"
Not exactly.
I’m obsessed with the bridge between Engineering and Growth. I’ve spent the last few years realizing that the best SEO strategy in the world is useless if the site is slow, the server is misconfigured, or the hydration strategy is killing the user experience.

Hello all.
I'm an Instrument Technician by Trade, currently earning a living by leveraging my Electronics/Programming/Design skills to build cool new products and prototypes for my clients as a Freelancer.
In my off time, I like to build open source hardware and software solutions and share them with the world.
Hi. Welcome to the community ! 😊
Wow Instrument Technician sounds like a really fancy job. Any cool products that you thought wouldn't worked but was loved by client?
Have a great time here.🫡
I suppose one that comes to mind from back in the day, when I was still working as an Instrument Tech in the Oil & Gas Industry...
We were using a product called DataTaker DT50, built by an Australian company (now bought out by Thermo Fisher Scientific) and it used a proprietary scripting language to program it.
Building Data Acquisition systems with this product was time consuming and extremely annoying due to the products limited memory, processing power, and cryptic scripting language.
I took one of the devices home, along with an accompanying Industrial Touch Screen and in my spare time, figured out that the Touch Screen had ample memory and processing to spare and that the touch screen could actually be hacked to send program scripts to the DataTaker module.
I ended up coding a generic Data Acquisition System that the end user could setup in the field, adding only the types of sensors they needed and the HMI would automatically morph into a display that worked with that specific "recipe" AND send the program to gather the data on the DT50 data logger itself.
This setup eliminated the need to program custom scripts for each device and project, and could instead just be setup by a field employee with no programming experience.
When I had it completed, I showed it to my supervisor who called in the department lead from the head office. After viewing the setup, he insisted on paying me for all the time I spent on it, and distributed the system to every field office. I was pretty stoked!
A few years ago I ran into my old supervisor and he told me they were still using it years and years later and that when that specific model of data logger was EOL, they bought a bunch to hold in inventory so they could continue using the system.
All I wanted to do, by taking the system home and messing with it, was to get good enough not to embarrass myself from my lack of scripting knowledge and experience with the product line... and I ended up creating the standard that everyone relied on and used.
Whenever I have "Imposter Syndrome" type thoughts that I'm not good enough, or I'm not smart enough to make something work, I use the memory of this experience to power through and get s**t done!
Wow, really impressive story. Your story is quite inspiring. You already are enough and an amazing person to work with. Don't think you aren't good enough. You are far far better than anyone in your field. Keep it up and keep breaking and building amazing stuff.
Have a great time here.

Hi Bukky. Welcome to the community ! 😊
Wow nice. What was the best things you liked your previous sector? and which sector you wanna explore in tech like web dev, mobile, web3?
Have a great time here.🫡
Hi Konark,
Thank You, One thing, I liked in my previous sector was that one big part of it was the constant application of new ideas, and innovative ways of growing the sector, this from menu changes and adapting it to current clientele, and also consumer and how they are tailored to changing styles.
for the tech sector, I am actually interested in app development and how robust can they made to be able to speak to different software software and platforms
Wow, your previous sector seems impressive. Nice have a great time building and breaking apps. Looking forward for your articles on your journey of app development.

Hi, I am Mustafa. I have strong passion for solving real-life problems with micro-apps but I have never got the chance of getting myself educated formally in this field. So prefer to learn by myself. Built some apps as hobby project. I can assure you those are not toy projects and fairly complex. I am currently working on a personal project that I have been working for 11 months and invested on an average 6 hours a day. I get motivated by seeing what talented Devs are doing. That guides me here. Consider me a noob with sheer thirst of learning something new. I will share a very small tool with you soon that I believe may accelerate Wpf development through structured signals.
Glad to be here.
