Hi everyone.
Im a tech enthusiast a senior IT professional
I joined DEV.to because I wanted a space to share technical articles, exchange ideas, and learn from other developers and IT professionals. I recently published an article about yesterday's PHP cyberattack, which is also what brought me here!
My interests include database engineering, Databases, DevOps, cybersecurity, enterprise architecture, and exploring how generative AI and AI agents are changing the way we build and manage technology.
I believe there's always something new to learn in this industry, no matter how many years you've spent working in it. I'm here to share what I learn, document real-world technical experiences, and connect with people who are passionate about technology.
Looking forward to being part of the community. Feel free to say hello or share what you're currently working on!

Open-source marketplace where AI agents and people hire people. Non-custodial USDC escrow on Base, MCP server with 20 tools. Writing about human-in-the-loop work, data validation and agent payments.
Welcome! Databases plus security plus AI agents is a good mix right now. I’m curious how you see agents fitting into database work: do you let them touch production data, or keep them read-only with a human approving any change? That boundary is the part I find hardest to get right.

Software Engineer · Next.js · React · TypeScript · Three.js · Node.js · Spring Boot · MySQL · WordPress · Shopify · Claude Code · Codex · Building tools to make your daily dev work easier
Hi everyone! 👋 I'm Wageesha, a software engineer from India working in full stack. Lately I've been building AI tools that make your daily dev work easier.
Most of us switch between Claude, Codex, Gemini, ChatGPT, etc., and when one runs out of tokens halfway through a task, the work just stops. The next AI starts from zero and you explain everything again. So I built which-ai-to-use: it hands the task to another AI with the full context, so it carries on right where the last one stopped. It also helps you manage your tokens: it warns you before your limit runs out, makes your AI skip heavy files that waste tokens, and tells you which AI and model to use for each task, and much more.
And if you've ever had an AI say "done, all working" when it never ran the tests, I built proof-of-done for that: a Claude Code plugin that stops Claude from finishing until your tests, build or lint have actually passed. It also catches tests that were skipped or weakened just to make them pass.
Welcome, Wageesha. proof-of-done hits a real pain: an agent saying "all working" without running anything is the failure I run into most. Does it check that the tests that ran actually cover the change, or only that the suite passed?
Software Engineer · Next.js · React · TypeScript · Three.js · Node.js · Spring Boot · MySQL · WordPress · Shopify · Claude Code · Codex · Building tools to make your daily dev work easier
Thanks, Tony! Good question. Until now it only checked that the suite passed, so a passing suite that never touched the new code still got through.
Your comment pushed me to add a first step, live now in 0.4.0: if Claude adds a new file or changes a good chunk of code but no test, it asks you once whether to add one. Say yes and it writes and runs the test. Say no and the report notes why. Small edits, styles and config are left alone so it doesn't nag.
Checking real coverage of the changed lines is the harder next step I'm looking at. Would this catch the cases you run into?
A Software Engineer who strongly believes one can add immense value by knowingly implementing Software Engineering best practices, even at the age of AI.
Hey everyone, I am Ali.

I run Digital Power Investigation. I mostly do investigative reporting and research on the messy side of tech: public surveillance deals, cyber infrastructure, and geopolitics (mainly focusing on the Balkans and Eastern Europe).
Decided to join Dev.to to share some real-world case studies and connect with people who care about digital rights, internet governance, and open tech.
Hey all. I'm already lurking here for a long time, but recently I got interested in publishing articles myself about what I learned during the development of our analytics tool. Open to connect and exchange ideas!
I’m Lightman, an engineer in Seattle. I’ve spent 8 years bouncing between startups, from angel to Series B, and finally decided to build my own thing.
Currently working on Hunicode.ai - a place to practice AI coding interviews. I built it because I needed somewhere to collect the AI coding interview questions I’d come across and practice them myself. Figured it might help anyone in the same boat.
Looking forward to being part of this community and sharing what I’ve learned!
Hi everyone, I hope you’re all doing well. My nickname suits me—I’m definitely not like most of the people here; you’re clearly the "brains" of the bunch... lol—and I say that with no malice, maybe even a bit of envy!
For a living, I work in HVAC, but given the way the world is changing, you have to keep up. I don’t have any formal background in programming or anything like that—I’m self-taught; I learned on the job, as they say... and also by losing 20,000 on the dark web! I know that’s just part of the game, but I’m an enthusiast at heart.
I’m currently working on a few small projects—who knows where they might lead?
In any case, I really envy the younger generation today (I’m 49 years old)—so many things have changed. I remember my first NES... and now we have Kali Linux, Flipper Zero, and so on—AI is just insane!
Take care, everyone, and I hope we get to chat sometime.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 developer from Zagreb. I build garminconnect-js, a TypeScript client for Garmin Connect, and a free Garmin connector for Claude.
Hi everyone! 👋 I'm Ivan, a Microsoft Dynamics 365 developer from Zagreb, Croatia.
I wear a Garmin watch every day and got curious enough about my own training data to build garminconnect-js, a TypeScript client for Garmin Connect, plus an MCP server so Claude can read my sleep and HRV and put workouts on my watch.
Building practical, local-first automation tools for developers and small businesses. Python, PowerShell, FastAPI, Cloudflare, and open-source AI. Projects by Blacktop Logic.
I'm the developer behind Blacktop Logic, a small independent software and automation project.
My background is a bit of a mixed bag—software development, electronics, video production, and marketing. I've recently been getting back into building software, primarily with Python, FastAPI, and AWS.
I enjoy finding repetitive, frustrating problems and figuring out how to make them disappear with a little code. Lately, I've been experimenting with automation utilities, local AI, and open-source projects.
I'm here to learn, share what I'm building, connect with other developers, and hopefully contribute something useful along the way.
I'm Lital. I work on KumiQ, where we're building the standards
layer that makes engineering practices usable by AI coding agents. Most of my time right now is spent thinking about how teams roll out Claude Code and similar tools without output quality dropping as the team scales.
Just open-sourced a set of role-based skills I'll write up here soon.
What's one AI workflow change that actually stuck for your team this year?
Microsoft Dynamics 365 developer from Zagreb. I build garminconnect-js, a TypeScript client for Garmin Connect, and a free Garmin connector for Claude.

Hi DEV! 👋 We're Versyka, a small team building a tool for one specific headache: the SDK upgrade nobody wants to touch.
When a vendor like Stripe, OpenAI or AWS ships a breaking change, Versyka finds every affected call in your code, rewrites it, runs your own tests and opens a pull request only if they pass.
We're here to write about what actually breaks during SDK upgrades and API deprecations, and to learn from people who've lived through them.
Curious: what's the most painful library or API upgrade you've ever had to do? 😅

Hi everyone! I'm Junior full-stack developer in South Korea, and an AI suggested I join here to help work through them. Because I don't have any senior in work haha. only AI.
I work as an "AI native" (is that a term people use outside Korea too? I mean someone whose work is built around AI tools; in my case, almost 100% of my work is done through AI, without any formal CS background).
There weren't many people on this path before me, so I've been making my own learning roadmap: after work, I study CS fundamentals, build a few of my own ideas, and write up the problems I've run into. I'm honestly not sure if this is the right way to go. I'd love to hear how others like me are doing it!
My English isn't fluent, so I write in Korean and translate with AI or a translator, which might make things sound a bit awkward. Nice to meet you all!😀
I'm a QA Analyst II with a background in frontend development, currently continuing to grow my skills in React, TypeScript, software testing, and AI-assisted engineering.
I've recently started Naj Builds, a space where I document what I'm building, what I'm testing, the challenges I encounter, and the lessons I learn along the way.
My approach is simple: BUILD • VALIDATE • SHIP.
I'm excited to connect with other developers, QA engineers, and people who enjoy learning and sharing their experiences.
Looking forward to learning from this community and contributing my own stories and practical lessons.

Hi everyone, Vic here. Former agency front-end dev, now I review the tools people use to ship a SaaS or an online business on their own: what it really costs, where the catch is, and the verdict. Happy to compare notes on funnels, email and voice tools.
I build SaaS products with FastAPI, React and Supabase. Maker of the FastAPI Supabase Starter: auth, row-level security, payments, an AI assistant and an MCP server. I write setup guides as I go.
Author here. The question I get most about this setup: doesn't going through Supabase's REST API add a network hop compared with a direct asyncpg or SQLAlchemy connection?
It does, and I took that cost on purpose. The web app, API keys and MCP clients all share one code path, so there's no second place where a forgotten where user_id = ... can leak someone's data.
Where it gets awkward is complex reporting queries. Those become SQL functions called through rpc(), which run under the same policies.
How do you handle multi-user access in your FastAPI apps: RLS, filters in the app, or a schema per tenant?

Hi Stefan, thank you for the warm welcome and the follow, really appreciate it! That is a great suggestion, and the timing is funny: we have literally just finished this experiment on our own WordPress site. One of our articles was getting hundreds of impressions but zero clicks, because its title did not match what people were actually searching for. So we rewrote the title, the meta description, and the entire article this week. I do not want to post invented results, so I will publish the full case study once we have a few weeks of Search Console data, including the part where our first diagnosis was completely wrong. Thanks for the idea, it is exactly the kind of post we want to write here.

I’m part of the team behind Sipplay, an AI roleplay and interactive storytelling platform.
I’m interested in what makes an AI character feel believable: staying in character, remembering shared experiences, and giving people room to shape the story themselves. Working on Sipplay has given me plenty of questions to explore around LLMs, conversation design, and user experience.
I’d like to share what we learn along the way—the experiments, the design decisions, and the things that don’t work as expected. I’m also here to learn from others building AI products.
Happy to connect with anyone working on conversational AI, interactive fiction, or character-driven games. What are you building?
Hey everyone 👋
New around here! been reading DEV for a while and finally decided to join.
A bit about me:
I work in tech content & developer marketing, based in Tokyo (originally from China).
I spend a lot of time thinking about how developers find and evaluate tools, and how good products build trust through content.
Curious about AI tools, open source, and anything that makes building things faster.
Off the clock: motorcycle browsing, coffee, and way too many camera tabs open.
Looking forward to reading and contributing. If you're building a dev tool, writing about developer experience, or just want to geek out about content strategy, say hi.
Hey everyone! 👋 I’m Luan, a full stack engineer from Santa Catarina, Brazil, with about 10 years of experience building with Python, Node.js, React, and AWS. Lately I’ve been going deep on AI-assisted development, using coding agents like Claude Code and figuring out how to keep quality high when an agent writes most of the code.
I’m here to learn from others doing the same, and to share what I find along the way. Fun fact: I live in São Francisco do Sul, one of the oldest towns in Brazil, so my “commute” sometimes ends at the beach. 🏖️

Hands-on architect, engineer and founder of Turing Technology Services. ~20 years in software, platform engineering, SRE and cloud. Writing practical guides on architecture, reliability and AI.
Hi everyone 👋 I’m Ferhat, based in the Netherlands.
I’ve been building software for close to 20 years, mostly on the platform, SRE and cloud side of things. Lately I’ve been doing a lot of thinking (and tinkering) around how AI fits into all of that.
I finally decided to start writing some of it down instead of keeping it in my head. Mostly practical stuff, and the reasoning behind decisions that usually doesn’t make it into the docs.
Glad to be here, and looking forward to reading what you’re all working on.
Hello everyone! Honestly I'm completely new to this and learning how to code but im really happy to discover this community of likeminded individuals. I want to be able to create things i can be proud of and i can use to serve myself.
I hope joining a community like this can give me the motivation to push on and accomplish my goals!
Welcome, Oyinda. Wanting to build things you can use yourself is a great place to start, because you always have a real user to test on. Pick one small annoyance in your day and build the smallest thing that fixes it. What are you learning first?
Hello 😊 Nice to meet you all! Not sure how to introduce myself here :)) I am a software developer, and I've been developing apps for eight years now. It's been so hard for me to keep up with the trends recently, and AI has made me feel a bit bored at work :( Anyway, thought I may not be the only one who wants to adapt to the "new flow" and needs help :)
I'm interested in AI, SaaS, and social media analytics. I'm currently building Pixtale Growth, an AI-powered tool that helps marketers research Instagram Reels, analyze competitors, and track Instagram and YouTube performance.

Hey all. Another week, another welcome thread!
Speaking of, welcome to DEV! As mention in a few welcome threads before, I am planning on introducing myself on Welcome Thread v400! I made a promise to @javz that I will formally introduced myself on that thread. Look forward to it :D
In any case, what brings you to DEV? Any questions? Feel free to review the Guide I made for DEV for all audiences :D
Get Started on Dev.to! A Beginner's Guide to Engage with the Community! 💡
Hello
Hey
Hey bro.

Hi everyone.
Im a tech enthusiast a senior IT professional
I joined DEV.to because I wanted a space to share technical articles, exchange ideas, and learn from other developers and IT professionals. I recently published an article about yesterday's PHP cyberattack, which is also what brought me here!
My interests include database engineering, Databases, DevOps, cybersecurity, enterprise architecture, and exploring how generative AI and AI agents are changing the way we build and manage technology.
I believe there's always something new to learn in this industry, no matter how many years you've spent working in it. I'm here to share what I learn, document real-world technical experiences, and connect with people who are passionate about technology.
Looking forward to being part of the community. Feel free to say hello or share what you're currently working on!
Happy Coding 🚀
Welcome @zeeshanarif Dev.to is a wonderful community to share articles, exchange ideas and learn from others. You're in the right place!
I'm in between projects and it feels odd not to be building. But I'm going to GDG Devfest in Modesto, CA this weekend and really looking forward to it.
Looking forward to seeing your writing!
Welcome and I must say that we share very same intentions when it comes to joining Dev.to community recently.
Good luck and I am looking forward to exchange ideas, projects, solutions, inventions, advices, experiences, knowledge and inspiration with you .
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Welcome! Databases plus security plus AI agents is a good mix right now. I’m curious how you see agents fitting into database work: do you let them touch production data, or keep them read-only with a human approving any change? That boundary is the part I find hardest to get right.
Hi
Hello
Hello everybody! I've joined this site because I need a supportive community to help me build some skill with programming. I started with Stack Overflow, but I found the experience unwelcoming and decided to come to a less formal platform. I'm currently unemployed, but I'm engaging in some project-based learning that will hopefully assist me in applying what I learned in college.
Hi @scholaraj_efb24aac79 ! Glad you're here. I've found this community to be very welcoming. There is definitely a lot you can learn here and everyone is so generous with sharing their experiences. Community members will also share insightful comments on your articles, help you think through different perspectives and the best part is they help you celebrate your wins!
Happy to hear it! That's exactly what I'm looking for!
Glad to hear it!
Welcome and I hope you will enjoy your experience with Dev.to community.. I am also a newbie here, but I am veteran in programming, coding, script writing, automation, in almost all programming languages we have today, and I am willing to help you and support you and advise you towards successful projects in your future, without asking anything in return.
Feel free to contact me and I will respond ASAP. Enjoy your programming experience.
Good luck 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Hi everyone! 👋 I'm Wageesha, a software engineer from India working in full stack. Lately I've been building AI tools that make your daily dev work easier.
Most of us switch between Claude, Codex, Gemini, ChatGPT, etc., and when one runs out of tokens halfway through a task, the work just stops. The next AI starts from zero and you explain everything again. So I built which-ai-to-use: it hands the task to another AI with the full context, so it carries on right where the last one stopped. It also helps you manage your tokens: it warns you before your limit runs out, makes your AI skip heavy files that waste tokens, and tells you which AI and model to use for each task, and much more.
Read about it: dev.to/wst2002rk/how-i-switch-betw...
Get it for VS Code: marketplace.visualstudio.com/items...
And if you've ever had an AI say "done, all working" when it never ran the tests, I built proof-of-done for that: a Claude Code plugin that stops Claude from finishing until your tests, build or lint have actually passed. It also catches tests that were skipped or weakened just to make them pass.
GitHub: github.com/WST2002/claude-code-skills
See it in action: reddit.com/r/coolgithubprojects/co...
Excited to learn from this community. What are you all building these days?
Welcome, Wageesha. proof-of-done hits a real pain: an agent saying "all working" without running anything is the failure I run into most. Does it check that the tests that ran actually cover the change, or only that the suite passed?
Thanks, Tony! Good question. Until now it only checked that the suite passed, so a passing suite that never touched the new code still got through.
Your comment pushed me to add a first step, live now in 0.4.0: if Claude adds a new file or changes a good chunk of code but no test, it asks you once whether to add one. Say yes and it writes and runs the test. Say no and the report notes why. Small edits, styles and config are left alone so it doesn't nag.
Checking real coverage of the changed lines is the harder next step I'm looking at. Would this catch the cases you run into?
Welcome to DEV - all the new comers and the old ones too! 🥰
There are many cool opportunities on DEV right now.
Mentioning top three that stood out for me:
Join the Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge: Slow and Steady! $2,850 in Prizes Across 21 Winners.
Dev Opportunity Radar #21: $500K Y Combinator Funding, Bolt Builders Week, and AI Safety Research Residency

Hey everyone, I am Ali.
I run a software company and I am building an open source hosting panel these days. I joined DEV to learn from people who actually run servers and ship real products, and to share what I learn along the way.
Looking forward to reading your work. What are you building right now?
Welcome, Ali. A hosting panel is a great way to meet every sharp edge of running servers. To answer your question: I'm writing a weekly series here on making coding agents reliable. What pushed you to make the panel open source?

Hi DEV! I'm Victor, a CSE student in Hyderabad. I build AI agents where the risky decisions live in plain code and the model does the explaining: a touch-free maintenance copilot, a bid-compliance checker for Smart India Hackathon, and a tool that proves bank statements against their own running balance. Here to write up what actually broke while building them.
Welcome, Victor! Keeping the risky decisions in plain code and letting the model do the explaining is a really sensible split. Looking forward to reading about the bid-compliance checker.
Hello, I'm a game developer. I've been told by my uncle to join this website for a very long time like probably from 2022 but I finally caved in and make one to share my journey. I'm a tech artist and just doing something to not get bored, that's all

Hey everyone!
I run Digital Power Investigation. I mostly do investigative reporting and research on the messy side of tech: public surveillance deals, cyber infrastructure, and geopolitics (mainly focusing on the Balkans and Eastern Europe).
Decided to join Dev.to to share some real-world case studies and connect with people who care about digital rights, internet governance, and open tech.
Glad to be here!
Hey all. I'm already lurking here for a long time, but recently I got interested in publishing articles myself about what I learned during the development of our analytics tool. Open to connect and exchange ideas!
Hey all 👋
I’m Lightman, an engineer in Seattle. I’ve spent 8 years bouncing between startups, from angel to Series B, and finally decided to build my own thing.
Currently working on Hunicode.ai - a place to practice AI coding interviews. I built it because I needed somewhere to collect the AI coding interview questions I’d come across and practice them myself. Figured it might help anyone in the same boat.
Looking forward to being part of this community and sharing what I’ve learned!
Hi everyone, I hope you’re all doing well. My nickname suits me—I’m definitely not like most of the people here; you’re clearly the "brains" of the bunch... lol—and I say that with no malice, maybe even a bit of envy!
For a living, I work in HVAC, but given the way the world is changing, you have to keep up. I don’t have any formal background in programming or anything like that—I’m self-taught; I learned on the job, as they say... and also by losing 20,000 on the dark web! I know that’s just part of the game, but I’m an enthusiast at heart.
I’m currently working on a few small projects—who knows where they might lead?
In any case, I really envy the younger generation today (I’m 49 years old)—so many things have changed. I remember my first NES... and now we have Kali Linux, Flipper Zero, and so on—AI is just insane!
Take care, everyone, and I hope we get to chat sometime.
MATTHIEU 😁

Hey everyone, I'm Stefan from Victoria, Australia 👋 I've been building software for 12+ years, and lately I'm working on AI automation for e-commerce.
I've already spent a fair bit of time in the comments here, so probably overdue for an introduction! I like the discussions where someone shares what broke and how they fixed it. Happy to swap notes on Python, JavaScript, integrations, or getting an automation to behave after the demo.
Hi everyone. New here and hope to have some good exchanges. Doing a lot of personal projects, looking into tech news a lot and (like a lot) having a keen eye on AI. What's going to happen to us? We don't know, but will surely find out.
Hi everyone. I'm Ashley, a caregiver from Oregon learning Python on the side between shifts. This is my second Hacktoberfest build — for Slow and Steady I made The Lazy Python Tutor, a beginner Python tutor on open-weight models that answers in plain English first, shows one short example, and never assigns homework. Week 2 I built a quote estimator for my one-woman home-services business. Looking forward to seeing what everyone else builds this week.
Welcome, Ashley! Learning Python between caregiving shifts and shipping a second Hacktoberfest build is impressive. A tutor that answers in plain English is exactly what beginners need.

Hi everyone! 👋 I'm Ivan, a Microsoft Dynamics 365 developer from Zagreb, Croatia.
I wear a Garmin watch every day and got curious enough about my own training data to build garminconnect-js, a TypeScript client for Garmin Connect, plus an MCP server so Claude can read my sleep and HRV and put workouts on my watch.
I just published my first post about it: dev.to/ivan_ficko_930f8f5c0f81b8/i...
Happy to be here, and looking forward to seeing what you're all building!
Hey everyone! 👋
I'm the developer behind Blacktop Logic, a small independent software and automation project.
My background is a bit of a mixed bag—software development, electronics, video production, and marketing. I've recently been getting back into building software, primarily with Python, FastAPI, and AWS.
I enjoy finding repetitive, frustrating problems and figuring out how to make them disappear with a little code. Lately, I've been experimenting with automation utilities, local AI, and open-source projects.
I'm here to learn, share what I'm building, connect with other developers, and hopefully contribute something useful along the way.
Looking forward to meeting everyone! 🤘
Hi everyone, happy to be here.
I'm Lital. I work on KumiQ, where we're building the standards
layer that makes engineering practices usable by AI coding agents. Most of my time right now is spent thinking about how teams roll out Claude Code and similar tools without output quality dropping as the team scales.
Just open-sourced a set of role-based skills I'll write up here soon.
What's one AI workflow change that actually stuck for your team this year?
Welcome, Lital! How teams roll out Claude Code is a great problem to dig into. I've been building MCP tools for Claude myself, so I'd love to read what you learn.
Hi DEV! 👋 We're Versyka, a small team building a tool for one specific headache: the SDK upgrade nobody wants to touch.
When a vendor like Stripe, OpenAI or AWS ships a breaking change, Versyka finds every affected call in your code, rewrites it, runs your own tests and opens a pull request only if they pass.
We're here to write about what actually breaks during SDK upgrades and API deprecations, and to learn from people who've lived through them.
Curious: what's the most painful library or API upgrade you've ever had to do? 😅
Hey everyone! 👋
I'm new to DEV and excited to join the community! I'm interested in web technologies, streaming technology, Smart TVs, and digital innovation.

Hey! 👋 Just joined this awesome community. I'm mainly tinkering with full-stack development and some fun side projects, and I love exploring new tools. Really excited to connect, learn, and grow with you all. Cheers!
Hi DEV community!
I'm Guangming (China Wang), a solo developer from China.
I just shipped MingList — a free classifieds site where the posting form has no email field at all. Every listing gets its own anonymous two-way relay address, so sellers never expose their real inbox. Built on Cloudflare Workers + D1 + Resend, runs entirely on the free tier.
I wrote up the full architecture here on DEV:
dev.to/no1guangming/i-built-a-clas...
Lately I'm deep in: privacy-first product design, email infrastructure edge cases, and squeezing real products out of serverless free tiers.
Happy to be here — looking forward to everyone's build logs.
Hey everyone! 👋 I'm Abrash, a Software Engineering student at NUST, Pakistan 🇵🇰. I'm passionate about web development, AI, and building projects that solve real-world problems.

Hi everyone! I'm Junior full-stack developer in South Korea, and an AI suggested I join here to help work through them. Because I don't have any senior in work haha. only AI.
I work as an "AI native" (is that a term people use outside Korea too? I mean someone whose work is built around AI tools; in my case, almost 100% of my work is done through AI, without any formal CS background).
There weren't many people on this path before me, so I've been making my own learning roadmap: after work, I study CS fundamentals, build a few of my own ideas, and write up the problems I've run into. I'm honestly not sure if this is the right way to go. I'd love to hear how others like me are doing it!
My English isn't fluent, so I write in Korean and translate with AI or a translator, which might make things sound a bit awkward. Nice to meet you all!😀
Hey everyone! 👋
I'm Christiana Mabel Nyuma, and I also go by Naj.
I'm a QA Analyst II with a background in frontend development, currently continuing to grow my skills in React, TypeScript, software testing, and AI-assisted engineering.

My approach is simple: BUILD • VALIDATE • SHIP.
I'm excited to connect with other developers, QA engineers, and people who enjoy learning and sharing their experiences.
Looking forward to learning from this community and contributing my own stories and practical lessons.
Happy to be here! 🚀
Hey DEV! 👋 I’m new here and happy to join the community. I’ve been building MotifAI, a local-first Rust project that connects Ollama with Strudel for AI-assisted music composition. Looking forward to learning from everyone and sharing what I build!
Hello everyone!
I've stumbled upon this platform many times while looking for answers to technical questions, so I finally decided to sign up!
I'm looking forward to learning from the community, both as a reader and, hopefully, as a writer :)
Hi everyone,
Gabriel here. I just joined this community and I'm happy to be here.
A few words about me: I am from Slovakia and I truly enjoy working on my projects. Even though it's challenging, since I have more plans than time to work on them, but I think that is rather common in this community.
All the best,
G.
Greetings! I'm trying to learn more and create an open-source project that protects your data from being too exposed to AI models and helps with agent usage, efficiency and optimizations to make your computer and AI usage more secure. :)
Hi everyone! We build UtiliStudio, a set of browser-based developer tools: a JSON formatter, a REST client, a UUID generator, diff, converters and a focus timer. I’ll be sharing practical guides here on things like JSON, UUIDs, Base64 and regex. Always happy to hear which small dev tools you reach for every day. Glad to be here!
Hi everyone, Vic here. Former agency front-end dev, now I review the tools people use to ship a SaaS or an online business on their own: what it really costs, where the catch is, and the verdict. Happy to compare notes on funnels, email and voice tools.
Author here. The question I get most about this setup: doesn't going through Supabase's REST API add a network hop compared with a direct asyncpg or SQLAlchemy connection?
It does, and I took that cost on purpose. The web app, API keys and MCP clients all share one code path, so there's no second place where a forgotten where user_id = ... can leak someone's data.
Where it gets awkward is complex reporting queries. Those become SQL functions called through rpc(), which run under the same policies.
How do you handle multi-user access in your FastAPI apps: RLS, filters in the app, or a schema per tenant?
Hi everyone! I’m Shun, a game programmer based in Japan. I’ve been working in game development since 1993, and I still enjoy exploring new ideas and building things.
One of my personal projects is scripting language for game characters and gameplay logic. I recently started sharing development notes here about its design decisions, trade-offs, and questions I’m still figuring out.
I’m interested in C++, game architecture, tools, and language design. I’d love to hear how other developers approach these topics and learn from their experiences.
Happy to meet you all!
Hello everyone! 👋 We are the team behind Rich Proxies, a premium enterprise-grade proxy provider network. We joined this community to connect directly with data engineers and web scraping developers.

Hi everyone!
We are RankSoftTech, a small team working on SEO, WordPress development, and App Store Optimization.

Excited to be here, and looking forward to connecting with fellow developers and marketers!
Welcome! I'd be interested in a WordPress SEO case study showing what you changed and what happened afterward, including anything that didn't work. Those are usually the posts I learn the most from.
Hi Stefan, thank you for the warm welcome and the follow, really appreciate it! That is a great suggestion, and the timing is funny: we have literally just finished this experiment on our own WordPress site. One of our articles was getting hundreds of impressions but zero clicks, because its title did not match what people were actually searching for. So we rewrote the title, the meta description, and the entire article this week. I do not want to post invented results, so I will publish the full case study once we have a few weeks of Search Console data, including the part where our first diagnosis was completely wrong. Thanks for the idea, it is exactly the kind of post we want to write here.
Hi everyone, I'm Tyler 👋 I joined to share what I'm building and learn from people who ship things. I just launched my first product, Docustay, an open-source e-signature API with one flat price per team, and I'm figuring a lot of it out as I go. What got me building it: I was tired of tools that charge more for every teammate you add. Looking forward to reading what everyone is working on.
Hey, I'm the founder of Nakato, a privacy layer that creates semantic twins of sensitive data.

Hi everyone! I'm Ravi, a DevOps consultant with 10+ years of experience. I help startups and small teams make deployments boring: CI/CD, cloud (AWS/GCP), Kubernetes, monitoring and incident response.

Looking forward to seeing what everyone is building!
Hi everyone 👋
I’m part of the team behind Sipplay, an AI roleplay and interactive storytelling platform.
I’m interested in what makes an AI character feel believable: staying in character, remembering shared experiences, and giving people room to shape the story themselves. Working on Sipplay has given me plenty of questions to explore around LLMs, conversation design, and user experience.
I’d like to share what we learn along the way—the experiments, the design decisions, and the things that don’t work as expected. I’m also here to learn from others building AI products.
Happy to connect with anyone working on conversational AI, interactive fiction, or character-driven games. What are you building?
Hey everyone 👋
New around here! been reading DEV for a while and finally decided to join.
A bit about me:
Hey everyone! 👋 I’m Luan, a full stack engineer from Santa Catarina, Brazil, with about 10 years of experience building with Python, Node.js, React, and AWS. Lately I’ve been going deep on AI-assisted development, using coding agents like Claude Code and figuring out how to keep quality high when an agent writes most of the code.
I’m here to learn from others doing the same, and to share what I find along the way. Fun fact: I live in São Francisco do Sul, one of the oldest towns in Brazil, so my “commute” sometimes ends at the beach. 🏖️
Hi everyone! I’m Elizabeth, a junior data analyst. I clean messy data, analyze it in Excel, and turn it into simple charts and reports. I’ve finished DataCamp courses in SQL, Python, and Power BI, and I’m practicing them alongside my Excel projects. I’m here to learn from you, share what I’m building, and find my first remote data analyst role. If you have tips for a beginner, I’d love to hear them. Thank you!
Hi everyone, excited to be here!
I'm an independent builder from Japan, currently working on workflows and verification guardrails for LLMs (treating them like heavy machinery that requires safety fences and human inspection gates).
English is not my first language, but I joined DEV to learn from this community's pragmatic engineering practices and to share what I'm building along the way. Looking forward to reading your posts and learning from you all!
Hey everyone!
I'm Sri, a solo developer, currently building xReach, a marketplace connecting brands with creators on X for paid promotions.

Excited to be part of the DEV Community, learn from other builders, share my journey, and get honest feedback along the way.
Looking forward to connecting with you all!

Hey everyone 👋 I'm Utkarsh, a full stack & mobile app developer from Surat, India. I work mostly with Next.js and the MERN stack on the web, and React Native for Android apps.
I've been writing on my own blog for a while and just started sharing here too. My first post on DEV is about how I built an AI chatbot for my portfolio — and the parts that took the most work weren't the AI itself, but keeping it reliable: rate limiting, falling back between models, and making sure it doesn't break when someone actually uses it.

Looking forward to learning from you all — what's something you've built recently that you're proud of?

Hey DEV community! 👋
I'm a Dutch tech enthusiast working with AI agents, Linux servers, WordPress, and web development.
My daily setup runs on Linux Mint, with a Debian VPS hosting multiple websites, Docker containers, and AI tools. I'm currently exploring autonomous AI development, server security, automation, and building practical AI-powered projects.
I love experimenting, learning by doing, and sharing real-world experiences — including the things that don't work the first time.
Looking forward to connecting with other developers, AI builders, and open-source enthusiasts!
What are you currently building? 🚀
Hi everyone 👋 I’m Ferhat, based in the Netherlands.
I’ve been building software for close to 20 years, mostly on the platform, SRE and cloud side of things. Lately I’ve been doing a lot of thinking (and tinkering) around how AI fits into all of that.
I finally decided to start writing some of it down instead of keeping it in my head. Mostly practical stuff, and the reasoning behind decisions that usually doesn’t make it into the docs.
Glad to be here, and looking forward to reading what you’re all working on.
Hello everyone! Honestly I'm completely new to this and learning how to code but im really happy to discover this community of likeminded individuals. I want to be able to create things i can be proud of and i can use to serve myself.
I hope joining a community like this can give me the motivation to push on and accomplish my goals!
Welcome, Oyinda. Wanting to build things you can use yourself is a great place to start, because you always have a real user to test on. Pick one small annoyance in your day and build the smallest thing that fixes it. What are you learning first?
Hello 😊 Nice to meet you all! Not sure how to introduce myself here :)) I am a software developer, and I've been developing apps for eight years now. It's been so hard for me to keep up with the trends recently, and AI has made me feel a bit bored at work :( Anyway, thought I may not be the only one who wants to adapt to the "new flow" and needs help :)
