im harish, from a small village in india
Welcome, Harish! Great to have you here. What are you working on or hoping to learn? Plenty of friendly people around to point you at good resources.
Hello Harish, nice to meet you, I am Andrei and like you joined the dev.to Community just now 🎉
Welcome Harish!
hola, yo soy de el salvador
nice to meet you
I’m Kael, from Singapore.
I mostly build tools for stock research and backtesting. Lately I’ve been working on
volas, a super-fast, Rust-backed, pandas-like DataFrame for OHLCV data, which has 254 built-in technical indicators. 😃I’m here to learn from people working with Python, Rust, data engineering, and market data tools. Nice to meet everyone.
hello,Kael.Welcome to dev.
Hi all, I'm Scott from central Wisconsin, USA, and I just joined today. As you'll see if you look at my profile, I build WordPress websites for a living. Any of you who build websites, WordPress or not, knows that creating a good website requires many, many skills. So I thought, what better place to learn about a wide variety of topics, and that's how I ended up on dev.to.
Hey everyone! Senior sysadmin here. Just deployed my lightweight open-source behavioral network-socket monitor to GitHub. Excited to join the community and looking forward to sharing ideas and reviewing codebase architectures with you all!
Welcome! A lightweight behavioral socket monitor is a great niche to own, the kind of thing you end up reaching for constantly once it exists. What pushed you to build it from scratch rather than wire up existing tooling? Always good to see more people shipping open source here.
cool, how's going? I am starting with open source project as well, good to see more open source devs here.
Amazing!
Coolll
Hey everyone! I'm Amer, an IT and Network Infrastructure expert. I've been in the tech field since 1998, focusing on network maintenance, hardware, and recently, cybersecurity. I'm excited to join the DEV community, connect with fellow developers, and share insights from my long journey in tech. Looking forward to learning from you all! 🙂
Welcome @icoreux ! Dev is a great and welcoming community. Looking forward to reading about your journey!
👋 Hi everyone! Excited to be here!
I'm a developer interested in AI, Computer Vision, and Automation. I enjoy building practical AI applications and sharing what I learn along the way. Most of my current work revolves around Oglas AI, where I'm focused on applying AI to real business use cases.
Looking forward to learning from the community and contributing through articles and discussions. 🚀
Hey Oglas! Welcome to DEV! Looking forward to read your first article!
Same here - Would like to read your post
helloo
hi
Welcome! Best of luck, mate!!
👋 Hey DEV! Solo dev here — just started shipping small, single-purpose CLIs and figured I'd say hi.
Two so far, both MIT + on npm:
npx grokscope demo(no key needed to try it).Also just posted my first article here — what grokscope turned up digging into Bun vs Node. Excited to be around people who build things 👋
Hey Christo. Welcome to the community. 😊
These projects looks amazing. I would love to try them. Can you share lessons from your projects that you learned while building them.
Awesome to have you here and have a great time.😉
Thanks Konark, that means a lot 🙏
Biggest one: my tests were lying to me. Both had a full green test suite, but a couple of real bugs only turned up when I actually ran them against the live API — gemcatch was quietly sticking the prompt at the top of its own answers, and the free Gemini tier drops your result after 24h if nothing grabs it in time. I don't trust a green checkmark until I've done one real round-trip now.
Also learned to keep deps light the hard way — a native SQLite dependency blew up CI on one older Node + Windows combo, so when I added a cache to the other tool I kept it to a plain file with zero native deps.
One design thing too: make it runnable with no setup. grokscope is bring-your-own-key with a small per-query cost, so I added
npx grokscope demo— replays a real recorded run so you can see what it does before signing up for anything.Both are still pretty new so I'm finding rough edges as I go — if you try either, I'd genuinely love to hear what breaks!
hello! I'm a mid-level software engineer. Came here just so that I can learn in public. Distilling down my knowledge of stuff I've worked on is a pretty great way to get new insights myself and I don't do it often enough. Lets see if I can keep it up on this account 😄
Hello @doubletime Learning in public here at Dev has been epic!
hello
Hi everyone! I’m a software engineer focused on production AI applications, Java backend systems, and business process automation.
I enjoy building practical tools that connect modern AI capabilities with existing business systems and operational workflows. I’m also exploring Microsoft Dynamics 365, Power Platform, and new approaches to modernizing business applications.
I joined DEV to share what I’m building, write honestly about engineering with AI tools, and learn from other developers working on real-world systems.
Hey Richard. Welcome to the community. 😊
What's your daily AI tool or an AI workflow that you have created for yourself? Looking forward for your articles and learning from them.
Have a fantastic time exploring!
Hey everyone! I'm Jay, 24 years old from Munich, Germany.
I'm building APIs on the side — currently running a validation toolkit on RapidAPI (IBAN, email, phone, VAT, password breach-check and more). Also into trading and building my own AI dashboard.
Always happy to connect with other builders and developers. Looking forward to the community!
Hey Jonas. Welcome to the community. 😊
Wow, an API builder. Truly honored to meet you. What's your favorite API that you have build or used that have blown you away.
Awesome to have you here and have a great time here.😉
Hey everyone! 👋
I'm Vishal, a software developer with 3+ years of experience and the solo founder of
VIGILANTE, a free GitHub-based accountability tool that helps developers build a consistent daily shipping habit.I'm here to learn, stay up to date with the latest technologies, and connect with fellow developers who enjoy building cool things.
I also love talking about software engineering, side projects, productivity, GitHub, and developer tooling. If you're working on something interesting or have questions about any of those topics, feel free to reach out. I'd be happy to help however I can.
And if building coding consistency is something you struggle with, give
VIGILANTEa try. I'd love to hear your feedback and learn how it can be improved for developers like you.Looking forward to learning and building together! 🚀
Hey Vishal. Welcome to the community. 😊
VIGILANTE feels amazing. I'm feeling like I'm secretly Batman. What was your biggest struggle while building VIGILANTE.
Awesome to have you here and have a great time here.😉
Hi everyone,
I'm excited to join the DEV Community!
I've created two posts on dev.io to share, and am looking forward to discussing them with you all. I have 25+ years of experience in software engineering, AI/ML, data analytics, and technical leadership. Recently, I've been exploring how Large Language Models (LLMs) can help solve real-world software engineering challenges, such as Jira backlog analysis, project management, and developer productivity.
I'm currently writing about practical AI applications, prompt engineering, RAG, and LLM evaluation, and I look forward to sharing what I learn while learning from this amazing community. Comments and feedback are always welcome.
Outside of coding, I enjoy mentoring, continuous learning, and building projects that bridge AI research with practical engineering. Looking forward to connecting with fellow developers. Thanks for having me!
Hey K Gann. Welcome to the community. 😊
Which is the best AI software that you feel caught your attention and you enjoyed using it. Like WisperFlow or any other. What are the key lesson that you have learned about AI.
Awesome to have you here and have a great time here.😉
