Hey everyone! 👋

I’m Craig (from Marowa Labs). I’m a bioinformatics student and developer building WorkContext - an open-source, AI-powered productivity workspace built with Next.js 16, TypeScript, Express, Prisma, and PostgreSQL.

I joined DEV to connect with other builders, share what I'm learning around real-time collaboration (Yjs/CRDTs) and local/BYOK AI models, and collaborate with folks interested in open source.

Excited to be here and check out what everyone else is building! 🚀

Hey Craig! Welcome to dev.to and hope you are well. How did you hear about dev.to and is bioinformatics harder than CS in your opinion?

Hey Francis! Thanks for the warm welcome. I actually found out about dev.to through a Google search while looking for programming tutorials. Personally, I do think bioinformatics can be harder than pure CS. You have to master data structures and algorithms, but also deeply understand complex biological systems and genetics at the same time. It feels like balancing two major degrees!

Welcome here Craig!

Don't hesitate to follow some tags like

#typescript

Optional static type-checking for JavaScript.

#nextjs

Next.js gives you hybrid static and server rendering, TypeScript support, smart bundling, route pre-fetching, and more. No config needed.

#prisma

Next-generation Node.js and TypeScript ORM

#postgresql

I love using Prisma ORM for my projects! 💜

Thanks, Thomas! That is a stellar stack. I'm a huge fan of Prisma and Next.js myself for building fast applications. What kind of projects are you working on with Prisma lately?

Hi community!

I'm Thorin. I've spent the last several years building agentic AI systems for a genomics research platform used by scientists worldwide, most recently a multi-agent pipeline (orchestrator, planner, six specialist subagents) that automates work my small team used to do by hand.

My stack is mostly Python: Pydantic AI, Django, MCP and some distributed systems (Celery/RabbitMQ) underneath it all. I also run SkyPilot, a social scheduling tool.

Right now I'm migrating that server to the new stateless MCP SDK, experimenting with LoRA fine-tuning on Gemma 4, and writing up what I learn along the way at tmtabor.io.

I joined to swap notes with other people building in the agentic space. I'm excited to see what everyone's working on!

Hey Thorin, in that six-subagent pipeline, when one subagent goes off the rails mid-run, is that the orchestrator's job to catch, or do the specialists self-check?

Each subagent gets a validation step that tests whether the artifact it produced is valid on its own. The orchestrator then gets to further decide whether that artifact is valid when combined with the artifacts produced by the other agents.

Take the manifest agent for example. It's internal validation step checks whether the file it produces is a valid manifest (correct syntax, all required keys present, matches the input spec). Areference to the artifact is then passed back to the orchestrator which validates that is manifest matches what was produced by the other agents (the parameters listed in the manifest have to match the ones used by the wrapper script, etc.)

Hi everyone! 👋

I'm a Full Stack Software Developer who enjoys building web applications with C# and ASP.NET Core.

Lately, I've been focusing on building my own SaaS product called NamelessMenu, a QR menu platform that helps restaurants easily create and manage digital menus. It's been an exciting journey because I've been learning not only about software development but also about SEO, SaaS marketing, and growing a product from scratch.

I'm looking forward to learning from the community, sharing my experiences, and connecting with other developers who are building products of their own.

Happy to be here! 🚀
