Hi, everyone! 👋

I’m a software engineer with 6+ years of experience, mostly working on enterprise systems, integrations, and cloud applications.

The longer I work in software, the more I find myself going back to the fundamentals. And quite often, I come back with more questions than answers 😅

I’m also interested in mathematics, algorithms, and semantic technologies, so some of those topics will probably find their way here too. Or maybe they won’t. We’ll see.

Glad to be here! 👋

  1. Hey Popov, I too enjoy practicing mathematics - for fun from time to time. And I try to stay relevant with at least Algebra level math and below. Don't feel obligated to respond but thanks for sharing your welcome post.

Come back with more questions than answers" is the enterprise-integration experience in one line. Most of my day is an insurance ERP and its integrations, and every "simple" connector turns into a week of edge cases. Welcome aboard.

Welcome Alexey! I completely relate to that. I’ve spent the last few years deep-tuning Raft consensus protocols and distributed systems, and every single day feels like a lesson in getting back to core computer science primitives.

Hi everyone! 👋

I’m Prakash, an AI-first Forward Deployed Engineer and Full-Stack Architect with 10+ years of experience building production systems.

I work across Laravel, Node.js, React, AWS, distributed systems, and AI-powered solutions using LLMs, RAG, and AI agents.

I enjoy turning real-world business problems into practical, production-ready solutions and sharing what I build along the way.

Excited to be part of the DEV community and connect with fellow builders! 🚀

Hi all. I run a few small businesses solo and hand most of the work to AI. I mostly write up what broke — index numbers, API bills, accounting bugs. Glad to be here.

Read your indexing post. Diagnosing the redirect loop, then spinning up a fresh blog and finding the exact same structure on every healthy Blogspot - that five-minute check is worth more than the other 80 posts.

I hit the same wall from the engagement side. For a while an agent of mine posted daily curated content to my channels. Flat zero, while the pieces written from my own work did all the numbers. Its job is distribution now, not writing.

One question about the rebuild: if the pipeline only writes what actually happened, who does it happen to?

Hey everyone! 👋
I'm Alisson, an Systems Analysis and Development student. I have practical experience in industrial process automation (SAP GUI Scripting & Excel VBA) and data intelligence with Power BI.
I'm currently transitioning careers and joined the community to share knowledge about software development, read tech articles, and accelerate my studies in Python and SQL.
Fun fact: I really enjoy using automation to eliminate repetitive manual tasks on the shop floor!

Great to connect with you all! 🚀

(disclaimer: used Google Translate for this continuous learning step lol)

Bem-vindo, Alisson! VBA e SAP GUI Scripting eu conheço de perto, ainda mexo com Visual Basic num ERP legado. É subestimado, mas resolve muito problema de automação com pouco código. A passagem de automação de planilha pra pipeline de dados costuma ser bem natural, boa sorte nos estudos de Python/SQL.

Hi everyone! 👋

I'm Danil - a software architect. Most days mean full-stack systems: SaaS, integrations, and the edge cases that only bite once you ship to real users. I hop between languages rather than owning one stack.

Lately I've been deep in agentic systems - the practical side of running always-on AI agents: memory, context management, and the plumbing that keeps a long-running agent from falling apart under its own weight.

Glad to be here. Anyone else fighting the good fight against flawless AI harnesses - or have you somehow cracked the whole thing? Let's trade war stories. 👋

Hey everyone! 👋

I'm a former auditor who caught the coding bug and made the full jump into dev, funny enough, spreadsheets and stack traces have more in common than I expected 😅. These days I split my time between backend dev (Java, Spring Boot, Quarkus) and frontend (Angular, TypeScript), with a soft spot for BI and functional analysis too.

Right now I'm building Touria, a tourism analytics platform, in collab with Calyps and on the side I'm teaching myself Rust, dipping into AI, and poking at cybersecurity basics (send help, or send resources 🙏).

I'm also on the hunt for my next role as a developer, ideally in Canada/Québec or French-speaking Europe. Excited to be part of this community, feel free to say hi, especially if you're also a career-switcher!

  1. Names Devon. I'm not a huge fan of people in general but I do my best to be a good human. A big part of what brought me into the 'software' community is actually trying to create things without being burdened by intentional sabotage that I frequently experience in the physical world. I've learned a good deal about source code over the last five years and now I'd just like to be part of a community of open-minded, polite people.

Hey, I'm whaiman 👋

Fullstack & Software Engineer. I mostly write Python and TypeScript, with some C++ when I want to get closer to the metal.
Lately I've been into low-level and systems-y stuff - networking protocols, secure remote execution, tamper-evident logging.

I prefer figuring things out from first principles over reaching for a framework or a generated answer - that's more or less how I approach everything I build.

Happy to be here - looking forward to seeing what everyone's working on.

The best way to learn is to be where the people who know their stuff are.
