How I Got a Job Offer as a Fresher in an AI-Fearing Market — Without LeetCode or Club Leaderships on My Resume
Great Bro!
Thanks Bro!
Great!
Thanks!
Nice that's great !
Hi everyone, I'm Daniel.
Freelance, TypeScript, lots of agent PRs.
I am building Lumpcode, a git-first CLI for long agent campaigns: one context, one branch, one PR, resumable from remote git. Early development, Apache 2.0.
Here for how-tos and for people who are already looping agents instead of chatting them.
github.com/lumpcode/lumpcode
Resumable from the remote means the run survives the process dying. That's the failure I keep hitting: a long run stops halfway and whatever only lived inside the harness is gone.
I got there from the other side on a multi-agent game. No provider session APIs, every call resends the whole history, which sounds wasteful and is the best part, because the history is mine to read or rewrite. Each step's state is saved too, so a failed step just reruns, or I point a different model at it and rerun that one step.
On resume, does the agent get its earlier reasoning back, or only the repo state?
You have 2 ways to resume your cycle depending on your needs :
The unit of work for a lump campaign is a 'context', contexts are intended to not share the same sessions for their runs, but you can use artifacts created from previous contexts for other ones (.md files for example). I use this kind of pattern for my abstraction example. One lump create a md file, that you review and that will be used by another context. This is using the state of the repo to agrement your next context state. Here is the article for the abstraction lumps : dev.to/dyod/turn-a-dupes-report-in...
Resumability of the agent session itself. The lump runs can keep their history and with it the whole session id for your corresponding cli. You can easily reuse a session id for a run (even automatically in the loop config by reading if a previous history exists), and take the same session. Nice for error resumability, or tweaking what an agent has done before merging. I do not recommend this for multi contexts sharing. History is gitignored by default, but nothing prevents you from commiting them if you want, files are isolated by contexts so there will be no conflicts.
The marker commits and the .md handoff both sit in the repo, so a fresh clone on another machine picks up where the last run stopped. That one I get.
The session id is different. Reusing it asks the CLI to find its own transcript, and that lives in the home dir of the machine that ran it, not in the checkout. Commit the history files and another box gets the id without the conversation it points at.
Is that session id only good on the machine that made it, or does Lumpcode keep enough of the run to rebuild it elsewhere?
The session ids by themselves can only be taken back on the machine with the corresponding agent CLI.
But today, my workflow basically is like this without needing a fully recoverable transcript :
If you want a full transcript of what happened on the branch, the history could be used as a commitable transcript but today it is not exactly the intention. The history is only created at the root of the workspace (and not in the worktrees of each lump context), so it will not be commited reliably without some tweaking. I have on my todo an history cleaning because I am not satisfied with it, but with your insights it gives me some ideas to make it easily commitable and usable as a nice transcript too.
Welcome to the community, Daniel! Looping agents with a git-first approach solves a huge pain point for long runs. Excited to see Lumpcode evolve!

Hola!
Hey! I'm Francis. I've been building software for a while, and lately I'm working mostly solo using Claude Code as a daily collaborator rather than just autocomplete. Just shipped a hosted changelog tool called Chngd and posted my first write-up here about the AI drafting pipeline and a Supabase RLS mistake I made along the way. Glad to be here.
Read your writeup. PostgREST sits in front of every table whatever your own server code does, so "I don't use the client library" never meant the table was protected, and the anon key is public on purpose.
You don't need a special security model to find that kind of thing. Point any decent model at your own schema and settings and it turns up whatever got left on defaults. Holes like this are everywhere and we still haven't got used to how easy they are to find now.
Did the alert name the exposure, or did you have to go looking?
Good catch, and you're right, that PostgREST detail is exactly the thing I underestimated at the time. "Not using the client library" was never the protection I thought it was.
Honestly don't remember precisely whether the alert named the table directly or whether I had to go digging in Supabase to pin it down, it's been a couple weeks and I didn't write that detail down at the time (lesson noted for next time). What I do remember is it surfaced through Supabase itself and got fixed from there.
Your broader point lands though, pointing a decent model at your own schema/settings to audit for default-open tables is a genuinely underused move. Might be worth its own post.
Write it. Show the audit prompt itself - people point a model at their code and stop there, and the default-open stuff lives in the settings.

Hey everyone! 👋
After ~10 years directing live gaming products and large-scale multiplayer servers (ARK, Fortnite Creative, Minecraft), I'm currently focusing on multi-agent AI systems, enforcement architecture, and LLM tooling in Python.
Recently open-sourced
loopwardto enforce structural agent boundaries. Always happy to chat about multi-agent orchestration, mechanical constraints, or game dev background!hey guys im uh a bit new to this but i have dabbled with coding in the past i tried to make an app in xcode with chatgpts help of course called ramp finder if you want more details on that id be happy to answer those questions i did take an html class in college but had to drop it right now im taking codeacademys front end engineer career path wish me luck
Welcome to DEV Jj!
im kinda intimidated by the unit sizes im afraid if i bit off more than i can chew
I always lived by the idea that if you are uncomfortable but not dead, you are getting stronger. I bet you will find you learned quite a lot through the process. Just take it one step at a time in bite sized chunks and make sure to give yourself breaks!
Hello and welcome, Jj! creating apps using AI is a very common thing though just a piece of advice: projects never finished. Always plan your next move and improve your project constantly. Good luck!
In the past projects never finished because time. Now never finish because always you can do something else!
Hey DEV 👋 I’m Drew.
I somehow turned “I wonder what’s inside a Fortnite replay file?” into a 🐇 rabbit hole involving game data 🎮, AI agents 🤖, UEFN 🛠️, and now this account. 😂
I’m here to build weird useful things, learn in public 🧠, share what works (and what catches fire 🔥), and meet people doing the same.
What are you building right now? 👀
Replay files are the good kind of rabbit hole. No spec, undocumented binary, and the only thing that knows the format is the game writing it.
Building a social deduction game where LLM bots play against people right now. 24 models across 11 providers, all interchangeable. Most of the work went into keeping a bot on the rules over a long game.
What did the replay format turn out to be good for?
Hey everyone — Bryan from North Carolina. Self-taught since April of this year: started out copy-pasting code from a browser chat with zero understanding, and somewhere along the way it turned into building a live AI receptionist business and a whole accountability harness around my AI (it is not allowed to tell me something works without proof — long story, it's on my profile). Day job by day, building in the margins at night. Joined this week, already smashed two bugs into the Bug Smash challenge. Happy to trade notes with anyone self-taught or anyone trying to make AI agents actually trustworthy — those are my two favorite conversations.
that sounds awesome and I am on the similar journey of hustling on my own during nights.
I honestly never knew I would become so enthralled by every aspect of this. Good luck on your journey, and have a wonderful day!
yeah same same, I am not a developer and I love building it now on my own. BUT, I know that if the startup should be succesfull, there will come a day when some serious dev will take over building it.
The gap between a developer and a determined explorer is closing rapidly. I don't consider myself a developer either, but I’ve learned that if you stay with it, you can accomplish far more than you initially thought possible.
I’m an introvert, and it was genuinely difficult for me to start posting or even showing people my work. But the truth is, we’re often our own harshest critics, and every piece of honest feedback helps us grow. I don’t think you need a “serious dev” to swoop in and take over what you’re building. Keep learning, keep building, and don’t count yourself out. The serious developer you imagine needing someday may be the person you’re becoming right now. its all a state of mind
Yes thats true. However I am actually building developers tool - AI powered NSFW content moderation API and dashboard.
Right now its quite basic as I have only 1 LLM model checking the content, but I definitely need to upgrade to be able to detect multiple categories, able to fine-tune the models, etc. I can do it on my own, I bet that, but the results for devs might be inaccurate. Will see where the future goes :)
Hi, I'm Billy. Eighteen years building software, most recently as CTO of a SaaS startup.
I spend a lot of my time training small language models on a single consumer GPU, and what I like writing about is not the training but the measuring, including the times the measurement contradicts me. Which is often.
The current one plays chess. 142 million parameters, trained from scratch, no fine-tuning. It plays rated games on Lichess and it will take a challenge from anyone: lichess.org/@/philidor-142M
I'll be posting about what it taught me, mostly around evaluation and how easy it is to fool yourself with your own benchmark.
Glad to be here.
Went and read the chess writeup. 98.85% legal sounds high, but one illegal move loses the game, so the masked softmax over legal moves is doing the real work.
I run a long social deduction game where LLMs have to follow rules over a growing event log. I can't touch the sampler on a hosted model, so I do the same thing in the prompt: at each step I paste in only the rules that matter right then, as the last message, and check the answer against the list of allowed options before it counts. That catches a bad answer instead of blocking it.
When the top pick is illegal, is the next legal one usually still decent, or is the model already lost in that position?
Hi all 👋 Braham, backend engineer from Bengaluru.
Most of my career has been Java and Spring. The thing that pushed me into
building tools was getting tired of one question: if I change this endpoint,
what actually breaks? I'm building static analysis that answers it in the
browser — no server, nothing uploaded — and writing up what that constraint
costs you.
Fun fact: the worst bug I shipped this year was my own tool confidently
reporting that an endpoint touched no database, while it quietly ran two
UPDATEs on a background thread. Turns out "found nothing" and "couldn't
look everywhere" are very different sentences.

Hi everyone! 👋 I'm Guillaume Lessard, an independent quantum computing researcher and software architect.
For the past 8 months, I have been completely focused on designing and engineering the entire QECTOR project ecosystem from the ground up. It has evolved into a massive, production-ready framework combining a high-performance Rust core (handling 25+ decoder families), double-precision native NVIDIA CUDA batch processing, and a standalone graphical workbench environment running an autonomous optimization swarm.
I also recently built a specialized, network-free local MCP integration hub for Claude to allow for secure, zero-egress quantum engineering loops, and published our complete theoretical foundation manual on Zenodo.
I joined the DEV community to connect with other backend developers, system architects, and high-performance computing engineers. Excited to be here, share technical deep-dives, and learn from you all! 🚀
Hi everyone! 👋
Happy to be here! I love building fast, client-side tools and digging into performance quirks that usually get ignored.
Fun fact: I spend way too much time staring at Chrome performance waterfalls and cloud egress bills so other devs don't have to. 😅
Excited to connect and learn from this awesome community!

Hi all! 👋 Solo dev here, using this space to write retrospectives on building a game with AI. Less "look at my success," more "here's what I decided and why, in real time." Excited to be here!
Read the genre post. Picking the genre around what your tool can't do instead of around what you like is the whole decision. Auto-battler because combat is automatic and SD can't animate frame by frame.
One thing to watch when you get to generating characters: if the same prompt writes the character and its numbers at once, the cool-sounding ones end up strong. Splitting that into two passes, each starting fresh, did more for me than any rewording.
Are you generating the balance numbers, or simulating them?
Thanks for the tip — the two-pass idea is one I hadn't considered. A cool-sounding name quietly inflating its own stats is exactly the kind of bias I'd have shipped without noticing. Going into the plan.
To your question: simulating, not generating. Plan is a combat sim early (logic only, no art), run matchups thousands of times, tune from there. I trust "what survives 10,000 fights" more than a number a model hands me.
How'd you split the two passes on your end?
looking forward to see more
Hi everyone 👋 I'm Shayan. I've been a full stack engineer for about 7 years now. Always trying to pick up new tech and level up in this career. I'm looking forward to learning a ton from this community (and sharing a few things too)!
Really love how friendly and welcoming dev.to feels. I'm excited to jump into discussions and meet some of you!
Hey everyone, I'm Usman, a developer who builds software.
Most of us can ship a whole app and still get stuck the moment we need a simple graphic. We end up prompting an AI for something we can't describe, because you can't ask for what you can't name.
So I built the thing that removes the describing step. SVG Lab is a free browser editor for making and editing SVGs, no install, no signup to start drawing.
Say hi and tell me what you're building.

Hi everyone 👋
I'm Hubert, a systems engineer from Costa Rica. Most of my career has been .NET work for the public health sector — the kind of environment where the data legally cannot leave the building. So "just call an API" was never on the table for me.
That constraint is what brought me here. I published my first post last week about building a RAG system fully on-premise: no GPU, no cloud, no Docker. Windows Server, Ollama, Qdrant, ASP.NET Core 9. The repo is public if anyone is stuck in a similar box.
I also teach at a public university, and the next thing I want to figure out is how embedding models actually behave with clinical Spanish — most of what I read assumes English.
Fun fact: I write everything in Spanish first and translate it myself. Slower, but the ideas survive better.
If you work with local models under strict data rules, I'd like to hear how you handle it.
Hi all! Rajiv here, software engineer, been writing on my own little site lately instead of scattering thoughts all over the place.
Just posted a write-up on building a Linux container completely by hand, no Docker, no Podman, just raw namespaces + overlayfs + cgroups + veth, purely for the fun of it honestly. If anyone's into Linux internals or homelab stuff, would love for you to check it out and tell me what I missed or got wrong :)

Here to share practical insights and connect with fellow engineers bridging cloud and infrastructure.
Hi DEV community! I'm really happy to be here.
I'm currently building a small browser-based CPS and click speed test.
I expected it to be a simple project at first, but the details around
timing, input handling, and fair results made it much more interesting
than I imagined.
I'm here to learn from other developers, share what I discover, and
connect with people who enjoy building small, useful things for the web.
Looking forward to joining the conversation and learning with you all!
Hello DEV! 👋
I'm a developer and engineering student who likes building things from scratch just to understand how they work underneath.
I'm starting Zero Abstraction — a project where I explore software by removing the abstractions and actually building the things I'm curious about.
My first project is ZAF, a binary file format I built from scratch in C/C++. I had to figure out magic bytes, metadata, directory structures, offsets, binary parsing, and—of course—debug a wonderfully annoying three-byte bug. 😄
I'll be sharing more of these projects here: what I'm building, what breaks, and what I learn along the way.
I've just published my first write-up about ZAF, so if you're interested in low-level programming, C/C++, systems, or simply watching someone figure things out from scratch, feel free to follow along.
Glad to be here! 🚀

Hey all! 👋 Excited to join. I spend most of my time coding web apps and tweaking UI layouts, and I'm looking forward to reading through everyone’s engineering write-ups and sharing some of my own learnings along the way!
Hey everyone, I'm Lukasz, a solo builder from Poland.
Right now I'm building Local Waifu, a desktop AI companion that runs on your own Mac or PC instead of living entirely on someone else's servers. I write the code, fix the bugs, answer support emails, and somehow still try to do marketing too.
I joined DEV because I like reading the honest parts of building software, especially the messy bits between "I have an idea" and "this actually works."
Looking forward to meeting other people building weird things on the internet.

Hello! 👋👋👋
My name is Adam and I am new to Dev.to! I mainly just program as a hobby and I figured I would try something new by joining. I used to work a lot with web technologies and JavaScript but I have really been getting into Rust over the past year or so. I also have a homelab that I tinker with quite a bit.
Hi everyone! I’m Alex. I’m into Python, Telegram bots, SaaS, and automation. I’m here to learn, share what I’m working on, and get better at building useful digital products. Looking forward to meeting people who enjoy experimenting and learning by building.
hey! full-stack dev here, mostly react/node/mongo. also do some project
coordination stuff at work now which has been a fun (and occasionally
chaotic) shift from just writing code all day
been posting a bit here lately, mostly stuff from actual client work -
auth patterns, team reporting habits, that kind of thing. always more
fun writing it up after the fact than living through the debugging at
2am
fun fact: i somehow ended up building a 15-day internal training
program for a new hire once, complete with daily docs and a cheat
sheet. wasn't in my job description, just kind of happened and now i
apparently enjoy documenting things way more than i expected to
what's everyone here working on lately

Hey DEV community! 👋
I'm Sandeep (@sandeep_kahawatta), a full-stack engineer and co-founder based in Colombo, Sri Lanka. 🇱🇰
My path into tech was a bit unconventional. I spent time in the corporate world as a marketing specialist and home loans adviser at Seylan Bank before making the full leap into software engineering back in 2022. I'm currently finishing up my Software Engineering degree at SLIIT.
These days, I spend most of my time building scalable platforms (MERN, Next.js, NestJS, Laravel) and occasionally going deep into the academic side with Graph Neural Networks for urban traffic optimization.
I joined DEV to start "building in public" and sharing the messy reality of engineering. My first few posts will be deep dives into:
Building a bid-based ride-hailing database schema with Prisma & PostgreSQL.
Structuring a modular e-commerce API using NestJS.
Designing a developer portfolio that looks like a vintage newspaper (CSS Grid was fun for this one!).
Really excited to connect with other builders, founders, and anyone who loves talking system architecture. What is everyone else currently building?
Hi everyone! I’m Pouya Shahri. I work across creative technology, web development, interactive systems, and digital creative projects. I recently joined DEV to connect with other builders, learn from how people approach design and engineering problems, and share some of the systems I’ve been working on. Looking forward to being part of the community :)
👋 Hi, I'm Banu
I'm a frontend developer (React/TypeScript) with 2+ years of hands-on experience, currently deepening backend fundamentals (Node.js, Express, Postgres) and building toward fullstack, learning in public as I go.
Right now I'm working on a journaling app that organizes what you write into categories like work, learning, and faith, then turns that into growth analytics over time so instead of just having old entries sitting there, you can actually see patterns in what you're spending your time and energy on. I plan to write about the challenges I encountered whilst developing this project, or what I learnt along the way. Not polished tutorials, just the real process.
Happy to connect, always open to feedback on what I write here.
Hey everyone! I’m Kidus, a software engineer from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
I work mostly across full-stack and backend development, and lately I’ve been especially interested in AI-assisted software development, developer tools, testing, and open source.
I joined DEV to learn from other builders, share what I’m working on, and hopefully contribute back to the community as well.
Fun fact: I recently open-sourced a project called MaruCheck, which explores how we can independently verify AI-generated software instead of letting the same AI both write and judge its own code.
Looking forward to meeting more developers here 👋
Hi everyone,

Hi guys!
I'm new here!
I'm a computer science junior. I gotta be honest; I'm confused asf
I don't know what to dedicate my time to because there's so much to learn and I can't tell which is worth my time. So I joined this community to learn from experienced techies and peers about their experiences and how they are navigating this turbulent market.
Fun fact? Singing is how I calm myself. Unusual, but that's my outlet. I love it, and I think I'm good at it lol. Feel free to reach out!

A developer based in Seoul, currently heavy into vibe coding with AI.
I joined DEV to hang out with other builders, see what everyone is cooking, and stay up to date with where AI tooling is heading.
Lately I've been spending most of my time building frontend apps, experimenting with AI workflows, and shipping cool side projects.
Feel free to stop by my profile, say hi, or share what you're currently working on! Happy to be here 🚀

Hi everyone! 👋
I’m Fabrice, a data and AI consultant with a background in finance, analytics, and business transformation.
I’m here for the All things agentic hackathon organized by Google, where I’m building an autonomous AI CFO for small businesses — a multi-agent finance team that monitors the books, spots issues, follows up with humans when needed, and can take approved actions.
Excited to share what I’m building, learn from the community, and see what everyone else creates. Looking forward to connecting! 🚀

Hi, I'm Vlad - indie developer from Ukraine. Twenty years building
factory and retail systems; now building the opposite: LockMargin,
a local-first financial OS for freelancers. One encrypted SQLite file
on your machine. No cloud, no account, $49 once.
I'll be writing about the unglamorous parts: SQLite over PostgreSQL,
testing encryption without a security team, and what "own your data"
means in practice. First article just went up. Happy to answer anything
about offline-first desktop apps.
HELLOOOOOO DEV.TO FOLKS !

Hey everyone 👋
Muhammad here, co-founder at Vivid Logic. We're a small software team building custom web, mobile, and SaaS products for startups and enterprises across Pakistan, the US, and the UK. Been at it for about 5 years, and currently shipping a couple of our own products alongside client work.
Joined dev.to to share what we've learned building for regulated industries like fintech and healthcare, and to see what others are doing in the same space. Looking forward to reading around.

Hey DEV community! 👋
Software engineer from Ukraine here. I build projects for myself in my spare time: some APIs, tools I need, games to play with friends and whatever catches my curiosity. Recently I decided to stop building in silence and start sharing what I make: to get some feedback from other devs, and honestly hoping to find inspiration for the next projects.
Have a few projects I currently try to host and will share some experience developing them, hope I will find some time to post about them soon.
Glad to meet you all, and who knows, maybe some of us will end up building something together one day)
Hey everyone. I'm Jozef. I work as a Product Manager and I'm currently figuring out how to build my own projects using AI.
I joined to learn from actual devs and see how you all are shipping side projects. Fun fact: I have a 1-year-old daughter, so my entire development process happens in random 45-minute windows when she is finally asleep.
Right now I'm hacking together a content moderation API. Glad to be here.
Hi community! I'm Jesús, from Chile. I build trading bots and write about the real process of doing it — the uncomfortable parts included (yes, my bugs too). What brought me here: I want to honestly document whether a trading bot can actually work, without the usual "get rich quick" hype. Fun fact: this whole thing started because a lying tweet made me so annoyed that I decided to go investigate the truth myself. Glad to be here and learn with you all.
"Hi, my name is Jeremy. I'm working on a vehicle tracking device project using IoT technology. Right now, I’m at the prototyping stage, and I’m looking for feedback on how to improve its reliability and how to scale it. If anyone has experience with IoT or tracking systems, I’d love to hear your thoughts or any resources you can share. Thank you!
Hey there. I'm 34, I live alone with my two dogs, and honestly? I'm scared. I have a CS degree I've never used, $120k of debt that keeps me up at night, and a minimum wage job that barely covers rent. But I'm done being scared. I'm here to build in public—messy code, broken apps, and all. I run to clear my head, bike to feel free, and I'm teaching myself FL Studio because music keeps the darkness away. If you're behind on life, if you feel like you wasted your degree, or if you just need a friend who gets it—you're not alone. Let's figure this out together.
Hey everyone! 👋 I'm Andrii, a hobbyist developer. What brought me
here: I just finished a little side project — an interactive version
of the classic Zebra Puzzle (Einstein's Riddle) — and wanted to start
sharing and reading what others are building here. Looking forward
to being part of the community!
Hi everyone! 👋
