Welcome everyone to DEV! We are glad you decide to join us!
As mention before for many welcome threads before me, I will make my introduction at Welcome Thread v400! I made a promise to @javz that I will do this (though forgot the reason why lol).
In the meantime, feel free to visit my guide on dev.to!
Get Started on Dev.to! A Beginner's Guide to Engage with the Community! 💡
I will see you all next week there! In the meantime, what brings you to DEV?
Welcome welcome everyone!
Hi, I'm Guillermo, Head of Technology at Werk. We're building an AI assistant that keeps the work of teams on the move organized from their voice notes and photos. I'll be writing about model-agnostic harnesses, LLM routing and testing agents. Happy to be here.
Welcome to news members on DEV!
Hi everyone! I'm Saad Ahmed, a Full-Stack Software Engineer primarily working with PHP, Laravel, backend systems, APIs, automation, and web application architecture.
I also build open-source projects, and recently released Corevia 2.0, a modular PHP application runtime and full-stack framework focused on durable workflows, modular architecture, realtime systems, and cross-language interoperability.
I'm here to connect with other developers, learn from the community, share what I'm building, and contribute wherever I can.
Looking forward to meeting everyone.
Welcome! If you're just getting started, the thing that helped me most was picking one small side project and writing about the problems, not the finished result. The messy parts tend to get the most replies.
For the first week, I'd suggest hanging out in the tags you actually use, commenting on one or two posts a day. It's slower than posting a lot, but people remember the folks who show up in the comments.
Hi everyone! I'm Ahmad, a senior software engineer with 14+ years building SaaS platforms end to end. These days I'm focused on AI agents, LLM retrieval and the systems that make them reliable. I just published my first post here, about why markdown plans break when you run multiple AI agents at once, and I'd love to hear how others coordinate their agents. Glad to be here!
Welcome! If you're coming from notebooks, my advice is to write about one thing you found surprising rather than a full tutorial. People reply more to "this took me two days and here's why" than to another intro post.
Also don't be afraid to post the messy version. Half the value of writing here is figuring out what you actually did.
Welcome! If you're into security or infra, one thing that goes a long way: when you post about a tool or a finding, include the exact commands or config. People here are practical and will happily discuss specifics.
And don't be discouraged if the first post gets few reads. The second and third usually do better.
Welcome! For mobile specifically, I'd say pick one platform first and get comfortable with it before going cross-platform. The shared code is easier once you know what each side expects.
And there's a real #flutter and #mobile crowd here who actually answer questions about layout bugs and build failures. Post the error message and you'll usually get an honest answer.
Welcome! If writing feels hard at first, start with a short "what I learned this week" post. It's low pressure, and it creates the habit of finishing things.
Also, hang around the tags you actually use. Being a consistent commenter early on is the easiest way to be part of the community rather than posting into the void.
Welcome! A practical tip: write the title last. I used to start with the title and then force the post to fit it, which made everything read like a tutorial. Starting from the problem I hit made the writing much more natural.
Also, the #devops tag here is small enough that good posts get seen.
Welcome! One thing that helped me early on: don't try to learn Kubernetes by reading about it. Break a small cluster on purpose and fix it. The parts that confuse people most are the same parts that make sense the moment something fails.
Also, the #kubernetes tag here is friendly to "I broke this, here's the error" posts. Those get great answers.
Welcome! If you're coming from notebooks, the first genuinely useful thing to write about is the gap between the two: what broke when you moved from a notebook to something deployed. That post helps more people than another pandas intro.
Also, the #machinelearning tag here is small enough that a specific question usually gets a real answer.
A small thing that helped me early: comment on two posts before writing your first one. The replies teach you what this place actually likes, and by the time you write, the blank page is a lot less scary.
I broke my first PR by changing a CSS variable that half the app quietly depended on. What I remember isn't the fix, it's that someone took twenty minutes to explain why my change looked safe in the diff but wasn't. That conversation is the reason I still review other people's CSS by grepping for the variable name first.
If you're new here: ask the "why did you do it this way" questions loudly. In my experience nobody minds, and the answers are the actual content of this site.
Hi everyone! I'm Weston, building high-performance ingestion middleware and asynchronous synchronization pipelines for home service trade platforms like ServiceTitan and Jobber. Glad to be here and dive into the architecture side of things.
Hey everyone!
I'm Neha, a software engineer with 7+ years of experience, mainly working with React, TypeScript, and Node.js.
I enjoy working on complex web applications, especially frontend architecture, state management, debugging, and performance.
I've just joined DEV and published my first article, "Why Building a Reliable Calendar UI Is Harder Than It Looks." It shares a few lessons from working with scheduling interfaces, date handling, and frontend reliability.
If you're interested, here's the article:

Happy to hear how others approach similar challenges. Looking forward to connecting with the community!
Hi. My small obsession is the cost of a finished task rather than a finished call: retries, cache, human review, all of it in the same place. Mostly Python and log parsing.
Curious what people here count as "done" when they evaluate an agent run
Hello, I am Pratik. I am an AI developer. I am trying to find the best tools to add to my AI coding setup. But its hard to find a gem in the pile of AI slop. Thought I would create something of my own with what I want. I would love some pain points that everyone faces in AI coding...!
