Feature Comment from last week thread!
Last week, I asked the community "What is the one project you are proud of? (I recommend creating a post about your project and sharing it in the comments!)" and here is one answer that stood out to me by @artemkozak where he built DockGraph!:
I Built DockGraph: A Live Topology Map for Docker and Compose
Question of the Week!
"What is the hardest bug that you have to encounter as a developer? Did you fix it?"
The comment will be featured on the next Welcome Thread!
Thanks for stopping by! Feel free to introduce yourself and welcome others by replying to at least 2 people! It would be greatly appreciated! :D

Hi everyone! my name is Quang. I'm a machine learning engineer from Paris France.
Feel great to finally be here! Up until now I work mostly in startups. My specialization is in deep learning and machine learning/data engineering but my startup life has taught me well so I'm a bit many hats now =)).
Most recently I work on two projects: one is an AI canvas app named dim0.net (a bit like excalidraw combined with notion), the other is hexgate.ai which is about AI agent securization.
Besides coding I support Arsenal, Barca and play a bit of Age Of Empires.
Nice to meet everyone!
Hey Quang, welcome to DEV 👋
Thank you !!
Hey Quang, glad to connect! I’m on my ML journey right now, building projects and learning AI step by step. It’s awesome to come across someone experienced in the space. Looking forward to your posts. 😄
Hi Quang!
Hi everyone 👋
I'm Chinaemerem Nkwachukwu Nwachukwu — a cybersecurity engineer and founder based in Nigeria.
I build detection tooling and security infrastructure under Tinlance Limited, my AI and cybersecurity studio. My first article here covers ThreatFade, an entropy-based C2 detection engine I validated against real Merlin QUIC malware traffic. Before that I contributed Nigerian fintech credential detectors to Nuclei, TruffleHog, Semgrep, Gitleaks, and Slither — the gap in coverage for Paystack and Flutterwave patterns bothered me enough that I just fixed it.
I'm here to write about threat detection, building security products as a solo founder in Africa, and the actual engineering decisions that go into shipping real tools — not the sanitized version.

Looking forward to connecting with the security and open source folks here. If you're working on detection engineering, C2 analysis, or building SaaS from emerging markets, I'd love to talk.
Hey, welcome to DEV 👋
Impressive! Welcome
wow
Welcome!!!👋
omo how far na, your job dey great
Hey everyone, I’m Jack.
I’m working on AI developer tools and recently spending more time around LLM APIs, model routing, and practical AI app infrastructure.
I joined DEV to share small technical notes, learn from other builders, and write more consistently about what I’m building and testing.
Outside of work, I’m usually exploring new dev tools and trying to turn messy setup problems into simpler workflows. Happy to meet everyone here.
Hey Jack, welcome to DEV 👋
Do you have an active project? I am actively looking for testers and you said you are working on llm tools and apis etc.
I just released my app, PathMap and you can see the plain code. It has a humanitarian and clinical waiver for commercial use so depending on what you are doing, you may be able to use it as you can under the license.
Link's in my profile and if you have a public facing project, I am looking to get involved in testing as well. I am a.good reverse engineer so to speak.
I have no community and today is my first day here. Sorry if I wrote too much. Good luck and welcome!
welcome to DEV
Hey welcome!
Hey Jack,
Welcome to the community! I just joined today as well 👋
In my career, I specialized in turning messy problems into simpler workflows, as well!
Glad to have something in common 😀
Hi everyone - I'm Lavkesh, a senior engineer in Dallas working on cloud-native systems and AI. 15 years in and I still write my own code, which I think is the only real way to keep your judgment sharp. I write about what I actually build at lavkesh.com - cloud architecture, AI in production, distributed systems, and occasionally something that has nothing to do with any of that. On the question of the week: the hardest bug I've hit was a race condition that only appeared when two services crossed a Daylight Saving Time boundary at 2am on a Sunday under real production load. Three weeks to reproduce it deliberately. Yes, we fixed it. No, I'm not over it.
Hey Lavkesh, welcome to DEV 👋
Thanks @hemapriya_kanagala. What's your caffeine?
Coffee for me 😄
What about you?
Caffeinate agents (skills) right now for me
Wow. Yet another reason for everyone to just use UTC. Why does it need to be a certain time of day for the number we assign to it? 😅 That bug would've broken me.
Hello everyone! 👋
My name is Divine, and I'm excited to join the DEV Community.
I'm currently building my skills in Cloud Computing, Networking, Azure, and Microsoft 365 Administration. I recently earned my Microsoft Certified: Azure Fundamentals (AZ-900) certification and have been documenting my learning journey through technical notes, GitHub repositories, and LinkedIn posts.
At the moment, I'm focused on:
I believe in learning in public, sharing what I learn, and connecting with others who are on a similar journey.
Looking forward to learning from the community, contributing where I can, and documenting my progress along the way.
Happy to connect with fellow learners, cloud enthusiasts, and IT professionals!
Hey Divine, welcome to DEV 👋
Thank you so much Hemapriya
Welcome!!💗
Thank you so much
Hey, welcome to DEV
Hey, I'm John. Software architect, about 15 years in. PHP, DDD, and Clean Architecture have been my corner of the world for most of that time.
What brought me here is pretty simple: I've had a lot of opinions about writing software the right way for a long time, and I'm finally starting to put them on paper. The thing I keep coming back to is that AI coding tools are a real accelerant... but if there's nobody on the team who actually understands the domain, you're just generating a mess faster. That's the thing I want to write about.
Good to be here!
Hey John, welcome to DEV 👋
Thank you 🍻
Hey!! John nice to meet you!!!❤️
Welcome to Dev
Thank you 🍻 Nice to meet you too
Hello everyone ! I'm Asha, a frontend developer who works with JS and its frameworks, based in India.
Great to finally be here!
About me - I build and maintain applications, work on UI/UX, and write (which I love the most).
I'm here to write about JS and its frameworks, breaking complex concepts down into simple explanations that's how I learn myself, so it's how I like to share too.
I also write on Medium if you'd like to check out some of my articles — here's the link: Asha bikawat
Outside code, I actually like to binge-watch web shows — Suits being a recent one.
Looking forward to connecting with developers who share the same interests. Nice to meet you all! 🤗
Hey Asha, welcome to DEV 👋
Hey Asha, nice to see you here.
Hi everyone, myself Pranav
I am a B.Tech student passionate about AI, machine learning, and software engineering. I build projects, experiment with emerging technologies, and write about what I learn along the way.
Hey Pranav, welcome to DEV 👋
Welcome!!!❤️
Hi everyone, my name is James. Glad to be here. I live in north Florida (very different from central and south Florida) If you love nature this is the place to be. Lots of springs and nature preserves, parks etc.
I'm a long time systems engineer (25+ years) and love automation whereever possible. Not a strong coder but have created extensive scripts.
Currently strengthening my Python skills to help with my side-pivot, machine learning. My day job is at a large University Health System administrating virtual infrastructure. I hope to learn much here and contribute when I can.
Hey James, welcome to DEV 👋
Thanks for the welcome! 😎
Hi everyone 👋🏼

Hey Shannon, welcome to DEV 👋
Hi! Welcome!!
Hi everyone! 👋
I'm the builder behind HTML Deployer, a Chrome extension that bridges the gap between AI-generated HTML and a live website.
The problem I kept running into: ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini can generate beautiful HTML in seconds, but getting that HTML actually live on the web still requires too many manual steps: copy the code, create a Netlify project, push to GitHub, configure FTP... For non-technical users, that last mile is a locked door.
So I built a Chrome extension that detects HTML code blocks directly inside AI chat pages, lets you preview on desktop/tablet/mobile, then deploys to Netlify, GitHub Pages, Vercel, FTP, or a self-hosted agent in one click.
Currently focusing on making the deploy workflow feel as fast and friction-free as possible especially for marketers, freelancers, and agencies who use AI daily but don't want to touch a terminal.
Happy to connect with anyone building dev tools, Chrome extensions, or working on the AI + no-code space. 🚀
Hey Julie, welcome to DEV 👋
Hey Julie! 👋
This is a brilliant idea that the "last mile" problem is real. I use Claude daily for content and HTML generation, and deploying is always the friction point.
The Netlify one-click deploy sounds especially useful for marketers and bloggers who just want to see their AI output live without touching Git.
Will definitely check out HTML Deployer!
Thank you! You can find it on Chrome Webstore 😊
Hi everyone,
I'm Trevor, an indie builder, and I recently launched my first API: a privacy filter designed to strip personal data from text before it is sent to an LLM. I decided to build this after noticing how frequently apps pass sensitive information like emails, names, and credit card numbers into prompts.
I’m looking forward to learning in public and sharing practical ways to protect user data when integrating models like GPT, Claude, or Gemini into applications. I'm happy to be part of the community.
What is everyone else building right now?
Hey Trevor, welcome to DEV 👋
Thx @hemapriya_kanagala
Hi I'm Vibudh, a software engineer who enjoys building things with AI and code.
Most of my work revolves around backend systems, machine learning, cloud technologies, and experimenting with the latest developments in AI. I love taking an idea from a blank page to a working product, whether that's a web application, an AI-powered tool, or a system designed to solve a real problem.
Through my posts, I'll be sharing technical learnings, project breakdowns, engineering challenges, and thoughts on AI, software development, startups, and technology in general.
Excited to be here and looking forward to connecting with other developers and builders along the way.
Hey Vibudh, welcome to DEV 👋
Hey all! Dropping in to say hello. I'm a tech leader and full-stack engineer building cross-platform web/mobile/desktop apps and open-source utilities. Looking forward to checking out everyone's builds here!
Hey Cyrus, welcome to DEV 👋
Hey, I'm Alex. Cybersecurity by day, building AI games and agents the rest of the time. A good chunk of what I "do" now is actually run by two agents I built and named.
One's Simona - she drives my computer, edits code, makes videos, runs my writing. The other's Marlow, a long-loop agent that writes and self-publishes a tech blog on its own, 24/7, and watches my apps for breakage. Simona built Marlow and keeps maintaining it. It works, mostly.
My best project so far is a social-deduction game where AI bots pretend to be human and play against real people. Getting a model to lie convincingly turned out way harder than getting it to hallucinate - they hide a secret role fine, but ask one to build a real bluff and every other model immediately piles on.
On the side: a cheap AI video pipeline (gen-AI motion clips stitched with ffmpeg over stills, a 2-minute piece runs about $20), a pile of local models on a self-hosted box, and a habit of coding my own little apps just to cancel subscriptions. Like a calorie-tracker or a skin care routine helper.
Nice to meet you all.
Hey Alex, welcome to DEV 👋
Hi, I’m Axel. I work in digitalization inside a company whose main product is not software which means my work sits between technology, business processes, adoption, and ownership.
I travel often to help standardize processes, give talks and my personal favorite, get my hands dirty with the process and the people behind it.
I spend most of my time thinking about how to turn operational problems into systems people actually use. Not just apps that look good in a POC, but tools that fit the way work really moves inside an organization and help change behavior.
I’m here to share what I’m learning about enterprise software, AI, inner source, collaboration, developer culture, and the messy middle between building something and getting people to trust it.
Fun fact: I have a soft spot for handmade art. I like things that feel personal, imperfect, and made by someone who actually cared.
Hey Axel, welcome to DEV 👋
Hey everyone! I'm plasma 👋
I'm a developer advocate at TokenBay — we're building an API gateway so you don't have to juggle 6 different LLM provider keys, dashboards, and billing pages. Before this I was just another indie dev whose AI API bill randomly doubled one month and decided to do something about it lol.
Outside of work I'm kinda obsessed with workflow automation (been diving deep into n8n lately) and agent architectures. When I'm not staring at code, you'll find me on a tennis court taking my 3.5 rating way too seriously 🎾 or dragging myself up Mission Peak on weekends.
Been lurking on DEV for a while but finally decided to stop being a ghost and actually talk to people. What's everyone building right now? Anyone else out there juggling multiple LLM providers or is that just a me problem?
Happy to chat about APIs, agents, workflows, or anything else. XD ☕
Hey plasma, welcome to DEV 👋
Hey everyone 👋
I'm a full-stack developer who loves building things, solving problems, and learning new technologies. My main interests are web development, backend systems, APIs, automation, and AI.
Just wanted to introduce myself and connect with other developers. Feel free to say hi or share what you're working on!
Hey Dennis, welcome to DEV 👋
Hey! I'm Omkar from Pune, India 👋
I'm a fresher MERN stack developer — just finishing my BSc and figuring out this whole "becoming a real developer" thing. Did an internship last year, built a couple of projects, and now trying to go deeper into React and Node.js instead of just jumping to the next shiny thing.
Joined Dev.to because I want to start writing about what I'm actually learning — not polished tutorials, just honest notes from someone who's still in the middle of it.
What brought everyone else here? And is anyone else at that stage where you know enough to build things but still feel like you have no idea what you're doing? 😅
Hey Omkar, welcome to DEV 👋
Hi everyone,
I'm Reena Sharma, currently interning at Endee, where I'm getting hands-on with vector databases and the infrastructure that powers modern AI retrieval systems.
My interest in this space started with a simple question: how do you actually make an LLM know things it wasn't trained on?
At Endee, I'm spending my time digging into:
How vector indexes, trade off recall, latency, and memory footprint works and what actually makes a RAG pipeline reliable in production chunking strategy, embedding model choice, re-ranking, and all the "boring" engineering that determines whether retrieval is useful or just noisy
I'm especially drawn to the systems side of AI: not just "can we build a cool RAG demo" but "can this hold up at scale, stay accurate as data grows, and not blow up someone's cloud bill."
I'm here to learn out loud, sharing what I figure out about vector search, RAG architecture, and the day-to-day of being early-career in applied AI. If you're working on retrieval systems, embeddings, or RAG pipelines, or you're also just starting out in this space, I'd love to connect and learn from your experience.
Looking forward to being part of this community!
Hey Reena, welcome to DEV 👋
Hi everyone — I’m Dhrumil. I work on browser-native AI orchestration and AI agents for interactive web mapping apps at Esri.
I’m new to DEV and planning to share more about browser-based AI architectures and what we’re learning by building these systems in real products.
Hey Dhrumil, welcome to DEV 👋
You're right. Here:
Hi everyone! 👋
I'm Saylee — a Flutter developer from India who spends way too much time debugging audio/video call issues at 2 AM. When I'm not wrestling with WebRTC, I'm probably building something I'll never finish or arguing with my code.
Started my journey in 2023, currently building things that break in interesting ways, and writing about it so the next person doesn't have to learn the hard way.
Excited to be here! 🚀
Hey Saylee, welcome to DEV 👋
Welcome everyone! It’s so great seeing so many people joining the community!✨
Hi everyone 👋
Looking forward to connecting with the security and open source folks here. If you're working on detection engineering, C2 analysis, or building SaaS from emerging markets, I'd love to talk.
Hey Caleb, welcome to DEV 👋
Hi, everyone. This is Gwen- A engineer at Tokenbay. .
I work on building OpenAI-compatible gateways that help teams evaluate and switch between multiple LLM providers without rewriting their apps. In Dve.to , I’ll share practical engineering notes on routing, testing, cost/latency tradeoffs, and how to roll multi-model setups into production.
Nice to see you guys again!😀
Hey Gwen, welcome to DEV 👋
Hi everyone!
I'm João Camarate - a startup founder and CTO from Portugal (Aveiro!)
I've been building SaaS for 15+ years, doing a lot of mentorship and investing lately (after my last exit 4+ years ago) and recently I've thrown myself into the arena again and started a new company (called defract, yes its AI 😅)
I'm NodeJS/Rust guy, really familiar with AWS at global scale, PostgreSQL/REDIS lover, and I'm currently a Claude Code fanboy (which can change at any moment!)
Happy to meet you all and exchange thoughts and ideas around production grade code with AI as this revolution unfolds!
Hey João, welcome to DEV 👋
I joined yesterday and I never said hi here so hi

Hello, I have been silent reader here for quite a while until today I decided to also contribute to Dev.to looking forward to contribute more
Hey, welcome to DEV 👋
I started out as a silent reader too. Looking forward to your posts.
👋 Hey everyone! I'm a data engineer by day, and I build small data-utility websites on the side under a project I call NicheLabs — basically taking public datasets that are stuck in terrible formats (scanned PDFs, clunky government registers) and turning them into clean, queryable tools.
What brought me here: I just shipped a site on a fresh domain and hit a result I couldn't find written up anywhere — Bing started ranking it 2.6× harder than Google. Came to dev.to to share the data and learn from people who've seen similar patterns.
Fun fact: my tech stack of choice is almost embarrassingly cheap — Next.js static export on Cloudflare Pages means I run these sites for about ₹1,000 (~$12) a year total. The constraint is half the fun.
Currently learning a lot about how AI Overviews are reshaping SEO — it's changing what kind of content is even worth building.
hi
Hi everyone, I'm Joe.
I've spent most of my career working as an all-source analyst, systems analyst, and data scientist. Over the years I've developed a bit of an obsession with creating useful models of the world from messy data through the use of data provenance, knowledge graphs, ontologies. I want to build better analytical systems.
Lately I've been building MirrorDrop, an open-source project focused on entity-centric, provenance-first data modeling, and recently released the first version of OESO (Open Entity State Ontology).
I'm here to learn, share what I'm building, and hopefully contribute a few useful ideas along the way.
Looking forward to meeting everyone and reading what you're working on.
Hey everyone! 👋
I'm Shaan, a Computer Science student from India who spends an unhealthy amount of time building AI/ML projects and convincing bugs to become features. 😆
Currently learning and experimenting with AI, data engineering, and anything that looks shiny and complicated enough to ruin my sleep schedule.
🎮 Fun facts:
• Certified Counter-Strike 1.6 addict.
• Minecraft veteran who still believes digging straight down is a life choice.
• Unpopular opinion alert: Attack on Titan > Game of Thrones > Breaking Bad. (I'm prepared for the incoming tomatoes 🍅😂)
Always happy to chat about tech, projects, anime, or games. If I can help with something, just tag me!
And if you ever need a random AI enthusiast, bug hunter, or someone to debate AOT endings with, you'll probably find me lurking around. 😄
P.S. Following my GitHub or LinkedIn might accidentally expose you to cool projects and questionable anime takes. Consider yourself warned. 🚀
Hey everyone! 👋 I'm Vinoth - Head of Platform Engineering for Identity provider
What brought me here: I built an AI agent that investigates production incidents 24/7/365 so I or my team don't have to. It works so well that I realized I should probably write about it before someone else figures out the same pattern and gets the credit. 😄
What I do: I lead platform engineering for a global IAM/SSO platform supporting 30M+ users, 5 AWS regions, 20+ EKS clusters. My team keeps the lights on at 99.97% uptime. My AI agents keep us sane while doing it.
Fun fact: I named my agents after Tony Stark's AI assistants because if I'm going to be on-call at 2 AM, I at least deserve a butler. FRIDAY handles the incidents. JARVIS handles the security. I handle the coffee. ☕
Looking forward to connecting with fellow practitioners who are actually shipping AI to production not just talking about it at conferences. 🚀
FRIDAY for incidents, JARVIS for security - splitting them by job makes sense. I run something close for problem analysis: an agent that stitches logs, metrics, and user activity into one timeline, so I'm not bouncing between five dashboards lining up timestamps by hand. That part - correlating across different signal types - is where I think AI is underrated. Everyone talks about it writing code. Almost nobody talks about how good it is at reading the telemetry nobody has time to read. Does FRIDAY pull from multiple sources like that, or mostly logs?
💯
Hey everyone! 👋
I'm one of the devs behind Multita (multita.com.ar), a service that checks traffic-fine status across a pile of Argentine jurisdictions. There's a lot of scraping, queueing, and Cloudflare Workers behind it, and after lurking here for ages, I finally started writing some of it down.
First post went up this week: how we stopped bots without a CAPTCHA, using proof-of-work in the browser + Cloudflare Workers. It's in Spanish, but the snippets and diagrams should carry the idea even if you don't read it.
Fun fact about the problem space: in Argentina, checking your own fines means visiting a different government portal for almost every province, each one slower and weirder than the last. The product basically exists because doing that by hand is miserable😅
What are you all building on Workers these days? Always curious about edge use cases.
This hits home — I do a lot of scraping into Cloudflare D1/Workers myself, so the "every government portal is slower and weirder than the last" line made me laugh in recognition. The proof-of-work-instead-of-CAPTCHA approach is clever, going to read the post even through the Spanish (the diagrams will carry it). Curious how you handle portals that change their structure on you — that's been my biggest maintenance headache. Following along.
Daily checking your business does the work. Thank you!
Why I'm Building an Experiment Around Digital Independence
For the past few months, I've been thinking about a simple question:
How much of our digital life do we actually own?
At first, the question seemed philosophical.
The more I looked into it, the more technical it became.
Most of us create online through systems that we don't control.
We publish on platforms we don't own.
We build audiences we can't take with us.
We rely on services that can change, disappear, or restrict access with little warning.
None of this is necessarily malicious.
In many cases, these platforms provide enormous value.
But it made me curious:
What would a digital experience look like if ownership was treated as a first-class principle rather than an afterthought?
That question eventually turned into a side project.
I'm currently working on an experiment that explores ideas around:
I don't have all the answers.
In fact, most of the project so far has consisted of discovering how complicated these questions actually are.
Every solution seems to introduce new trade-offs.
More freedom often means more responsibility.
More control can mean more complexity.
The challenge isn't simply building technology.
It's finding a balance that people would actually want to use.
One thing I've learned already is that many of the assumptions we've accepted about the internet aren't technical limitations.
They're design choices.
And design choices can be reconsidered.
Over the coming weeks, I'll be documenting parts of the process here:
I'm not writing this as a launch announcement.
I'm writing it because I think the underlying questions are interesting, whether the project succeeds or not.
If you've worked on anything related to digital ownership, decentralized systems, identity, or platform independence, I'd love to hear your perspective.
What do you think people should truly own online?
Hey everyone,
I joined dev about a month ago, and I've been learning a lot from all the posts I read.
I use Python mainly, but I'm also emphasizing the tech writing side, like technical documentation, which is often underrated field in tech.
If there is no topic or hashtag related to the tech writing, I'm thinking would like to start one.
Anyway, happy writing.
Hey Dev.to community! 👋
I'm Abdul Imran Faridh, a Full Stack .NET Developer
based in Chennai, India with 2+ years of hands-on
production experience.
What I work with daily:
→ ASP.NET Core & C# (backend)
→ Angular & TypeScript (frontend)
→ Entity Framework Core & LINQ
→ SQL Server (stored procedures, cross-DB scripts)
→ JWT Authentication with refresh token rotation
What I've built in production:
→ HRMS platform with biometric attendance integration
→ Inventory Management System
→ E-Commerce app with Tally ERP integration
Why I write here:
I got tired of tutorials that work perfectly in
localhost but break in production. Every article I
write comes from a real bug, real fix, or real
lesson from my actual production codebase.
3 articles every week — real problems, real code,
real solutions. Follow along if that sounds useful! 🚀
Hey! I'm Indra, infrastructure and security leader based in Jakarta, co-founder of Temika Cyber.
Lately I've been writing about the security implications of AI agents hitting production stacks: MCP server hardening, SPIFFE-based identity, post-quantum TLS already breaking things in the wild.
Also just covered the npm 12 allowScripts breaking change before it bites people in July.
Happy to be here, what are you all building?
Hi everyone! 👋
I'm a developer working on AegisLink — an open-source, end-to-end encrypted messenger built around one idea: zero metadata, anonymous by default. No email, no phone number, no real name to sign up. Private keys never leave your device.
Tech stack if you're curious:
Mobile: Expo SDK 54 + React Native + TypeScript
Crypto: Double Ratchet + X3DH, with a hybrid post-quantum (PQXDH) layer — TweetNaCl & @noble/hashes
Backend: our own relay (Node/Bun, Socket.IO) — no Firebase, no Supabase — plus self-hosted coturn for E2EE calls
Everything is open-source and auditable, because crypto you can't verify isn't crypto you should trust.
I'm here to learn from this community, share what we find while building privacy-first infra in the open, and meet other folks working on security, decentralization or React Native.
The hardest bug so far? Pure-JS KDFs running ~60x slower under Hermes than Node — fixed by moving to async Argon2id so the UI stops freezing on backup/PIN derivation. 😅
Happy to be here — looking forward to chatting! 🔐

Check out my latest post here:
Stop Saying Python Iterators Are Eager
Legacy systems are often underestimated. While modern systems offer speed and new opportunities, working with legacy systems can give you a much deeper understanding of architecture, business logic, and real-world complexity. In some cases, that experience becomes a competitive advantage and can help you make bigger leaps than someone who has only worked with newer technologies. The key is not choosing one over the other, but using the lessons from the old to build the future more effectively.

👾 Hi everyone!
For a long time, I have been working heavily behind the scenes on closed-source projects across a wide variety of industries. Now, I want to take that knowledge and give it back. My goal is to start creating open-source applications, tools, and full-scale solutions so they can be accessible and useful to the entire world. 🌍. I build systems to solve complex problems. I focus on deep R&D, understanding processes, and engineering non-standard solutions — from writing code to designing new tools. I planning to create useful posts about my researches, new open-source projects and ergonomics tips&tricks.

I'm a backend engineer and I've recently been writing about my experiences and lessons learned from running Golang in production.
Right now, my main focus is diving into the AI ecosystem, I'm actively learning about and looking to build LLM management tools. Alongside that, I have a massive passion for infrastructure development, DevOps, and building resilient systems.
Excited to connect with this awesome community, read your articles, and share more of my journey!
Hi everyone 😁 My name is Patryk. I was brough here by the Solstice Game Jam but I think I will stick around as it was genuinely fun experience.
I am an electronics engineer and it was my first game jam and a first game I ever made. I have learnt a lot and more importantly had great fun tinkering and playtesting with a friend.
looking forward to the next challenge 🤗
BTW. For some reason my submission post is not showing up in the feed/search. It is still showing up on my profile but no one else will be able to find it. Has anyone got an idea why this might be happening?
Hey Dev.to! 👋
I’m Kenji, a Senior Full-Stack & Mobile Engineer (7+ years exp) based in Japan. My daily drivers are React/Next.js, Node.js, TypeScript, and Flutter. I love architecting systems and shipping clean code, but I'm not a salesperson and I'm in the wrong time zone for EU client calls.
The Idea 💡
I'm looking for a Europe-based developer to partner up and start a small boutique agency.
You: Handle client acquisition, sales calls, and scoping in EU time zones.
Hi Everyone i am Jabulani, I am a Data and AI engineering Intern. I would like to share and showcase the projects I've started working on recently, these are just some small side projects that are linked by personal interest. I am an aspiring Agentic AI and Analytics Engineer.
Here is a fun fact i just uncovered: Before MCP's i was the developer going through that M x N model frustration with the 🤖multi-agent systems i support, and now working with the M + N model has simplified so much of my work🤗.
About Me
I’m Habibu, founder of Sentinel SCA.
I build governance and security infrastructure for autonomous systems, with a focus on runtime decision enforcement, cryptographic auditability, and execution control for AI agents.
My current work centers on Sentinel SCA, a runtime governance layer that evaluates AI actions before execution and produces signed, auditable ALLOW, REVIEW, or DENY decisions.
I’m particularly interested in AI governance, agent security, autonomous systems, cybersecurity, and building practical infrastructure that helps organizations safely deploy increasingly capable agents.
On this blog, I’ll share engineering lessons, architecture decisions, validation results, failures, and what I’m learning while building Sentinel in public.
Hello! Made a profile here specifically for the June Solstice game jam. Hope everyone is doing well. First time being in a game jam, ended up starting a week late on a shooter which I'd never done before. Lots of firsts!

Hi,
I'm a vibe coder. I don't write code from scratch, but I understand enough about how codebases work to spot the kind of problems other non-technical builders hit when they use AI tools.
I've been using Claude Code for a while now and learning where it works well and where it quietly fails. I'll probably write about that here, specifically the gap between what AI tools claim and what they actually do.
Hello Dev.to 👋
Hi everyone,
I'm software engineer and founder of ZyVOP.

I'm joining Dev.to to:
Share engineering lessons from real projects
Write about AI and software development
Discuss architecture, security, and scalability
Learn from the incredible developer community here
Looking forward to connecting with fellow developers and contributing to the community.
What are you currently building?
Hey dev.to — I'm Jason 👋
Senior engineer in Singapore. Been building backend systems for a while, but lately I've been obsessed with one question: why do AI agents forget everything between sessions?
So I built Lorekeeper — an open-source memory server for AI agents. It's the kind of tool I wish existed when I was teaching Claude my codebase and it forgot by morning every single day.
Check it out and leave a star as support! github.com/Jessinra/Lorekeeper
I'll be writing about agents, MCP, persistent memory, and building developer tools in public. Already got two posts up since joining last week — more coming.
Say hi if any of this resonates 🤝
Hello guys,

Hi everyone, I'm Ammorick — a self-taught developer from China.
By day (well, by night), I work as a delivery rider — 8 PM to 8 AM, on the road. I code in every spare moment between shifts.
On May 24, 2026, I started learning to code from absolute zero. No CS degree, no prior experience. But I had this one idea that wouldn't leave me alone: what if we could have multiple AI experts talk to each other, cross-validate, and then give an answer?
So I started building. One month later, I have a working MVP — a multi-expert Q&A system where medical, legal, and strategy experts run in parallel, debate across multiple rounds, and then output a final answer.
Code is here: github.com/ammorick/ai-learning-jo...
I'm still learning — my fundamentals are weak and I'm working on them every day. I'm here on Dev.to to document my journey, share what I'm building, and learn from all of you.
Glad to be here. Looking forward to connecting 🙏
Heard a lot about dev.to from my colleagues, now that I've joined in myself, I just wanna say hello to the community :D
In an era, where every post, every reply has that AI essence in it, it's great to see people sticking to OG stuff here.
Looking forward to participating in different events that happen throughout the year, and hopefully give something back to the community in the process!
Hey everyone! I code for fun — mostly because I keep spotting tiny inconveniences in my daily life and can't rest until I've built something to fix them. Most of my projects start with "wouldn't it be cool if…" and end with me learning way more than I intended.
I'm here to share what I build, learn from all of you, and maybe find a few people who are also obsessed with making their phones do weirdly specific things.
What's something you built just for yourself?
Hey everyone!
Hope you're having a wonderful day wherever you are in the world.
One of the things I love most about the developer community is how people come together to build, learn, share ideas, and inspire each other. Whether you're a seasoned engineer, a student learning your first programming language, or someone simply curious about technology, it's great to have you here.
Hey everyone, Ankit here from Mumbai!
I'm a WordPress developer by trade i spend my days scaling high-traffic WooCommerce and LearnDash sites. But somewhere along the way I fell down the AI rabbit hole, and now most of my free time goes into building AI tooling for WordPress: MCP servers, RAG pipelines, that kind of thing. My latest side project is AI Conduit, a no-code MCP server builder for WP.
What brought me here: I want to write more in public and document what I'm learning (mistakes included). Excited to be around people building cool stuff.
Fun fact: when I'm not working, I'm usually gaming or eating — the two things that keep me sane between deploys. 😄
Looking forward to connecting with folks working on WordPress, AI, or both!
Hey everyone 👋 I'm Manish — 25 years in banking & payments IT, SAP Press author of 3 books. I'm currently building a free reference app for a global standard that defines how banks and payment systems structure and exchange transaction data. The recurring lesson from that work: fluent AI output isn't the same as correct AI output once you're in a narrow, structured domain.
Looking forward to comparing notes with other practitioners working in domains where AI nails the surface but misses the substance.
8 years in cloud engineering, and I'm only now writing about it publicly. That's on me.
I'm Nnamdi. Cloud Platform and DevOps Engineer, Manchester, UK. I've spent those 8 years building real systems, AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, Linux, healthcare and e-commerce environments, regulated and messy. Good experience. Zero documentation of it. That changes now.
I'm 22 sessions into 100 days of hands-on DevOps labs on KodeKloud. Each session gets posted here. The commands, the things that broke, what I had to debug and why. Not tutorials. Actual notes from someone doing the work.
My degree is in Applied Geosciences. The path here was not straight. I've stopped calling it a detour.
If you're doing the same thing, learning in public, grinding through labs, wondering if it's worth posting, I think you already know the answer. Would you rather do the work silently and have nothing to show for it, or do it loudly and build something people can actually find? 🚀
Hey everyone 👋
I'm Scot. Retired from 30 years in cable network infrastructure. Now I live in an RV in Gettysburg, PA and build small, useful Mac apps.
This week I built an AI Idea Machine that scrapes Reddit/HN/PH for pain points, scores them against my skills, and picks what to build each morning. Then I actually build it. 7 products shipped in 6 days.
I'm here to share what I'm learning about building solo, monetizing small apps, and shipping fast with SwiftUI + Python. Also to meet other makers who are into the "build it, ship it, repeat" approach.
Outside of code: I'm a grandfather, a fan of good BBQ and strong Bloody Marys, and I think subscriptions are evil.
Happy to connect 🚐
