Hi there!
I'm Ramazan and I'm here to learn more and to share with you some of my insights! I love diving deep into the modern Frontend techniques and features. So, I hope that you'll enjoy reading my articles Especially I'm keen on Atomic and modern CSS!
I'm happy to join the team and can't wait to explore more!
UPD: here is my first article!
How to combine utilities and handwritten styles in Atomic CSS?
Ramazan Maksyutov ・ Jan 28
Hey Ramazan. Welcome to the community! There is a lot of great resources here to improve your Front-end skills! Any projects you are currently working on?
In any case, welcome to dev.to!
Thank you very much!
Yep, there is one! I'm currently working in mlut team. I help to build this great Atomic CSS toolkit and just right now I'm making some new features for our sandbox!
This looks awesome!
I took a look at the repository as well and there is a lot of traction (200+ stars!). How did it get a lot of traction? What is your experience like working in the mlut team?
I'm really happy that you enjoyed it! Thank you!
It's actually the fruit of many hours (more than 1000) of our work. We took part in many conferences and presented our product in many places and the public loved it ^_^
The experience of working here is great! I've faced many non-trivial tasks and learned a lot of interesting technologies! It's like the best working experience for me.
Glad you are having a positive experience! I am looking to contribute to open source in the future. Are you contributing as an open source or are you an employee at mlut. I am interesting in joining you guys in the future and was wondering about if there is a process of being part of the team :D
Actually, I'm a freelance developer and now I'm working on two projects in mlut for salary: the landing and the sandbox which I mentioned before. But I loved the instrument itself! I even made some contributions to it's core and regularly use it in my practice!
And as for you joining our team - it's a great idea! If you want to get more information about this, you can contact the product's founder on X or through his github.
And, of course, you can share your ideas in the issues or in the discussions of our product!
Thank you for your attention to our work!
No problem! Will take a look in the future! Looking forward to see your development and journey on Dev.to!
Greetings, Ramazan. Welcome to the DEV Community. I'm slowly reconnecting with web development myself, though I haven't looked into modern techniques in regard to CSS - Flexbox Froggy and Grid Garden is the level I'm at right now! Look forward to hearing more about your experiences!
Thank your very much!
By the way, I've already published one article! I forgot to attach to my comment, but now it is there. I'll be happy to read your feedback and thoughts!
Hope you'll enjoy reading it ^_^
Thank you for the heads-up, Ramazan! I’ve read the post, really enjoyed it, and left a comment there as well - looking forward to reading more of your work in the future!
Hey everyone I’m Ariel. I’m an engineering manager in AppSec, currently building in the AI devtools space (agent workflows + guardrails/governance) and shipping open-source experiments on the side. Here to learn, share what works (and what breaks), and meet others building for dev teams.
Curious: what are you all using today to reliably test/evaluate coding agents (beyond “it seems to work”)?
Hi Ariel, thanks for opening this conversation. Your post touches on something that’s increasingly important as agent workflows move from experimental to production-grade: how do we evaluate reliability in a way that’s meaningful, repeatable, and actionable?
The “it seems to work” threshold is a familiar trap. It’s easy to get excited when an agent completes a task, but without structured evaluation, we risk overestimating robustness and underestimating edge cases. I’ve seen this play out in both small prototypes and larger systems—what works in one context can quietly fail in another.
Here are a few approaches I’ve found useful or seen others explore:
Scenario-based testing
Rather than isolated unit tests, I’ve seen value in designing full-stack scenarios that mimic real developer workflows. These might include debugging a broken pipeline, refactoring a legacy module, or generating tests for a complex edge case. The goal is to surface how agents handle ambiguity, context-switching, and partial information.
Behavioral metrics
Beyond pass/fail outcomes, tracking agent behavior can reveal deeper patterns. Metrics like tool usage efficiency, recovery from failure, and prompt adherence help diagnose reliability. For example, does the agent retry intelligently when blocked? Does it stay on task or drift?
Human-in-the-loop scoring
Structured feedback from developers—especially those using agents in real workflows—can be invaluable. Rubric-based scoring (clarity, correctness, helpfulness) or guided pair sessions where a dev annotates the agent’s decisions can expose subtle issues that automated tests miss.
Guardrails as diagnostics
Since you’re working on governance, I’d be curious how you use guardrails not just for safety, but for insight. Tracking which guardrails trigger most often can highlight weak spots in reasoning or prompt design. It’s a way to turn constraints into feedback loops.
Longitudinal regression suites
Agents evolve quickly, especially with prompt tuning or model updates. Running weekly or nightly regression tests across a fixed set of tasks helps catch silent degradations. It’s not glamorous, but it’s saved teams from shipping broken behavior more than once.
Would love to hear more about the open-source experiments you’re working on, especially if any are geared toward evaluation tooling. There’s a real need for frameworks that go beyond benchmarks and help us understand not just whether agents succeed, but how and why.
Thanks again for starting this thread. Looking forward to seeing where the conversation goes.
Welcome Ramazan and thanks for writing.
Hi Ramazan, welcome aboard!
Great to have you on the team. Your enthusiasm is really refreshing, and we’re excited to discover your insights on modern Frontend. Atomic CSS and modern approaches are fascinating topics, so I’m sure your articles will resonate well here.
Looking forward to reading your first article and exchanging more with you. Once again, welcome to the team!
Hi Ben!
Thank you very much for your warming words. I will try my best to share my insights with you in a best way! By the way, there is already one article which you read now ^_^
Looking forward to reading about your insights!
Yo Ramazan! Congrats on the first article!
I just joined today as well. See you around in the feed!
Thank you, mate!
My congrats to you as well! I'll be happy to meet you somewhere here!
Welcome Ramazan, as you focus on frontend and styling, and I focus on backend and architecture, we can collaborate and make something above the sea!
I am a full-stack developer, and I was captivated by CSS while reading this article.
HTML and CSS create the most beautiful user interfaces.
Welcome welcome! We encourage everyone to find a post they're appreciative of and leave a comment just to say thanks. It goes a long way.
I’m here on the DEV Community to share my knowledge and experience in .NET and software development.
Hi!
I’m Elkanah Cole go by the name Elktrum. I’m not good in typing English Grammar I hope you all understand.
I’m looking forward to learn more about modern Web design and getting more skillful in frameworks. I hope I can find a lot of guidance and help from this forum.
Hi Elkanah, welcome to DEV — and thank you for introducing yourself so openly. It’s great to see your enthusiasm for learning modern web design and improving your skills with frameworks. That kind of curiosity and drive is exactly what makes this community special.
Don’t worry about grammar — you’ve communicated your goals clearly, and that’s what matters most. Everyone here is learning something, and many of us are working across languages, tools, and disciplines. What counts is your willingness to grow, ask questions, and share your journey.
If you’re exploring modern web design, I’d recommend starting with a few key areas:
Responsive layout techniques (Flexbox and Grid)
Component-based frameworks like React, Vue, or Svelte
Styling systems (CSS modules, Tailwind, or SCSS)
Accessibility and performance best practices
Even small projects can teach a lot. Try building a personal homepage, a portfolio, or a simple blog layout. Each step will help you understand how design and development work together.
Feel free to ask questions, share your progress, or even post code snippets for feedback. There are many people here who are happy to help — whether it’s with technical advice or just encouragement.
Looking forward to seeing your first posts and watching your skills grow. You’re in the right place, and your journey is just beginning. Welcome again, and keep going.

Hello Elkanah! Welcome onboard!
Hi Elkanah! Welcome to DEV!
Your english is already so good, you've got nothing to worry about (≧︶≦))(￣▽￣ )ゞ
I often make projects and write about them, usually related to web design and frameworks! Would love to witness your growth!
Hey Elktrum! Welcome to the dev community!
Glad you are learning more on Web Design. What is your current goal for this year? Any projects you are currently building?
Welcome again! :)
Welcome to the community here at DEV, Elktrum. Always nice to see new faces here! Do you have any framework in mind? Either way, you'll find lots of welcoming people and great posts here!
Yes! I’m currently learning React. Trying to build a social media web application.
Sounds great! Hope you plan to share updates here on DEV?
Sure will do. Thank you all for having me.
You're more than welcome. Glad to have you onboard!
Welcome to DEV, Elktrum. There's a lot help and information on DEV.
Welcome Elktrum, what framework are you interested in?
Warm greetings to all.
I am Chou Steven from Cameroon.
It is a pleasure joining this community as it will go a long way in promoting skills and knowledge sharing. I am more of a Python guy, but I'm also interested in many other domains like AI, Javascript, full stack web dev in general, etc...
Ok, catch you latter fam.
Welcome to the DEV Community, Chou. I'm sure you find a lovely home here. As a fellow Pythonista, very much looking forward to your sharing more about your own experience in the future!
Hi,
I'm Heather (aka PeeperFrog). I was an old school embedded systems designer (back in C days). I had a web design company back around 2000 and have done lots of odds and sods since. I started working with AI agents a year ago and have found some things missing, so I'm coding again.
I built an MCP server to let my Claude Desktop create images, convert them to webp and upload them to WordPress. (gemini-image-mcp)
I'm working on a version that accesses other models too, predicts cost, and can pick the best model for a given job.
This was my first post:
dev.to/heather_scott_721dc030b71/b...
Greetings, Heather. Welcome to the community here at DEV. I read the other day that NASA still uses C and why they do so - found it extremely interesting.
Loved your first post, by the way - looking forward to reading more.
Heather - C programming ability is such a solid skill to have - C is everywhere and in everything. Welcome.
Hi,
I'm Ty and decided to join to learn some new things and want to give my insights or even more questions in return. I am an Azure Cloud Engineer and have been pushed into the IaC space in my job so want to find a place where I can gain translations from the various teams I deal with in my projects. I am in the process of now deploying from code using Terraform From Git Repos with hints of YAML.
My goal is to gain a deeper understanding of the whole process to then be able to pass it on to hopefully help others who were once in my shoes.
Nice to meet you all.
Welcome to the community here at DEV, Ty! I really like your goal of learning deeply and then passing that knowledge on - that mindset always makes communities better. I don’t have hands-on experience with Azure or IaC myself, but I’m looking forward to hearing more in the future!
Hey Richard,
The passing of knowledge also has a selfish edge to it I have to admit. Once the knowledge is passed I get to learn something new. What is your background? I'm sure you got something to exchange.
Too true, Ty. As for myself, computer hobbyist for longer than I'd care to admit. Tried writing my first text adventure game with a program called The Quill back in the 80s, got into IRC scripting by modifying an IRC bot in the 90s. Bounched on and off programming ever since. Had a solid foundation a few years back but didn't continue with it - hence me joining DEV this year.
Currently working through freeCodecamp and posting about my journey, somewhat for the "selfish edge" you allure to - it keeps my learning "honest" for want of a better word. If I help other people along the way, I'm honoured to have done so!
Hey Ty! Hope you are well. Welcome to the Dev community! Glad you join to learn and expanding your skills.
Are you planning on posting any developments you have made as a Azure Cloud Engineer and the process?
In any case, welcome aboard!
Thanks for the warm welcome Francis, I plan to write a few basic articles and I would love feedback. I can take this to create some documentation for the junior engineers if it makes sense to someone with no experience I hope it will benefit the juniors will a little bit more experience.
Sounds good! Very helpful to write documentation for others to understand! Look forward to seeing it!
Well my plan was to start from scratch as I had been having discussions and found there are so many little things we do install and troubleshoot that we don't account for until you have to do it again from scratch so my thoughts were to start with a basic set up of what is required with a little history on the side for context.
Hi Ty, welcome to DEV. Your post reflects a solid mix of curiosity, professional growth, and a desire to give back — which makes it a great fit for this community.
Being pushed into Infrastructure as Code can feel overwhelming at first, especially when you’re bridging between teams with different tooling, expectations, and terminology. But it sounds like you’re already approaching it the right way: hands-on deployment, Git integration, and YAML orchestration are all key pieces of the puzzle.
If you’re working with Terraform from Git repos, one thing that might help is setting up clear module boundaries and versioning strategies early. It makes collaboration smoother and reduces surprises when multiple teams contribute to shared infrastructure. YAML often comes into play with CI/CD pipelines or Kubernetes manifests, so if you’re integrating those, it’s worth mapping out how your IaC flow interacts with runtime configuration.
Also, since you’re in Azure, I’d recommend exploring how Terraform handles state management with remote backends like Azure Storage, and how you can use service principals or workload identities for secure automation. These details can make a big difference when scaling deployments or handing off ownership.
Your goal to understand the full process and help others is exactly what makes this space valuable. Looking forward to seeing your insights and questions — and to learning from your experience as you go deeper into the IaC world.

Hi Bingkahu,
I definitely have considered a lot of these points in regards to state and storage. One thing I have thought about is storing state files for dev test and prod to start to isolate each environment. Create our repos with modules for all the infrastructure we wish to create and as we mature version all our code. I'm sure there are many things I missed out but we are still young in this journey so definitely would love to discus and learn. For now it's just the baby steps and it will show I'm the articles I create. Look forward to having more discussions like this that get me thinking outside the box of how to proceed forward.
Nice to meet you Ty. Welcome to the DEV community.
Hello Ty and welcome,
Nice, I am also working with AKS/Terraform, I gladly learn from any directions or how to say. Hopefully we may see any articles posted by you.
Thanks for the warm welcome I have only used AKS very sparingly lol. So would love to pick up some tips. I actually have written a small article I will post soon I just need to tweak a few things and I will be good to go. I will have a look for any AKS articles you have written and will gladly extract what I can from them
Hello Dev community.
I’m currently obsessing over C++ performance optimization and low-level engineering. My goal is to write about making code go fast—specifically cache-friendly development. Looking forward to learning from you all and sharing my first post soon.
If you’re into systems programming or fintech-level performance, let’s connect
Hey Engin! Welcome to DEV! Looking forward to reading your blogs, would love to learn about fintech level performance!
Hi Engin, welcome to DEV — and thank you for such a focused and exciting introduction. Your passion for C++ performance optimization and low-level engineering really stands out, and it’s great to see someone diving deep into cache-friendly development. That kind of work is both challenging and incredibly rewarding, especially when it comes to pushing the boundaries of what modern systems can do.
There’s a lot of interest in this space, but not nearly enough clear writing or shared insight around the practical side of optimization — especially when it comes to memory access patterns, cache line alignment, and the subtle trade-offs between readability and raw speed. If your upcoming posts explore those areas, I think they’ll be a huge asset to the community.
I’d love to hear more about the kinds of systems you’re targeting. Are you working on high-frequency trading infrastructure, embedded systems, or something else entirely? Fintech-level performance suggests tight latency budgets and aggressive throughput goals — which often means tuning not just code, but compilers, linkers, and even hardware affinity.
Also curious how you approach benchmarking and profiling. Do you lean on tools like perf, VTune, or Cachegrind? Or do you prefer custom instrumentation and microbenchmarking frameworks? There’s a lot of nuance in interpreting results, especially when chasing nanoseconds across different architectures.
Looking forward to your first post — and to seeing how your work evolves. If you ever want to bounce ideas around or share drafts for feedback, I’d be glad to read and respond. Welcome again, and thanks for bringing such a sharp focus to the community.
— bingkahu
Hey Engin. Hope you are well. Welcome to the community! What projects are you currently working on in C++ specifically when it comes to code optimization.
Hi, I'm looking into memory pool and cache friendly development :)
That's great! Looking forward to see your development :D
Welcome, Engin!
Always great to see low-level engineers here. I'm just starting out here as well (posting about Python tools). Let's connect!
Welcome to the community here at DEV, Engin. What first attracted you to C++? Very much looking forward to hearing more about your own experiences!
I've been using C++ for over 5 years now. I started with embedded and low-level programming during my university years, and I've been writing in C and C++ ever since. To be honest, I don't really remember how I transitioned to C++, but I initially started with C to build my own LiDAR :D
That's quite the journey, Engin. A nice and logical transition too! Look forward to reading more about your experiences with C++ in the future. Again, welcome!
Hi!
I am Gomez and I am here to learn if Vibe is the new thing? I love coding and wonder where AI will take us. Right now I feel I am stuck somewhere in the middle. It great yet it feels like a illusion because it must be like living in a simulation.
I am currently working on a small personal project that give me little hope after some frustration with social media with its endless feed of content. :D
Hey Gomez! Hope you are doing well. Welcome to the Dev.to Community.
Really quick, you are talking about Vibe Coding. If so, it is a new thing, but that depends on if you want to go straight on Vibe Coding or using AI as your mentor.
I recommend using AI as your mentor (such as not giving the full code and only provide hints). That way, you won't really lose your programming skills. I just treat AI as a good google search. Better than going link to link just to find answers.
What project are you working on specifically by the way? Any plans this year? Hope your journey goes well :D
Hi francis, Thank you.
I am working on a project where you write a note and make it drift like in a ocean and then someone will "find" it and can decide to reply and let it drift again or pass it so it will arrive to the next person.
If you ask why? It because it feel more personal, imagine a message in a bottle. I was scrolling other social media sites and it just feel like a machine or how to explain, so I thought this may feel more human.
That's a really creative idea! I would love to see it! Are you planning on posting here on your development of your project? I bet a lot of people in this community would give you great feedback!
Thank you! I am planning to share the process here as I go.
If you're curious, the project lives at driftya.com it's very early, but I'd love any thoughts. :)
Sounds great! Will look into it in the future. GL on your journey!
Welcome to DEV, Gomez.
thanks
Hi Gomez, welcome to DEV. Your post really resonates — especially the part about feeling stuck somewhere in the middle. That’s a familiar place for many of us, especially when we’re navigating fast-moving technologies and trying to make sense of what’s real, what’s hype, and what’s actually useful.
Your reflection on social media and the endless feed is honest and important. It’s easy to get overwhelmed or feel disconnected when everything is optimized for attention rather than depth. Working on a personal project, even a small one, can be a powerful way to reclaim focus and rediscover what makes coding meaningful. It’s not just about building something — it’s about building something that matters to you.
As for your question about “Vibe,” I think it’s worth exploring what that means to you. Whether it’s a new tool, a design philosophy, or just a shift in how people connect online, the fact that you’re asking shows you’re tuned into the cultural side of tech, not just the technical. That’s valuable.
Keep going with your project. Even if it’s slow or frustrating at times, it’s yours — and that makes it worth finishing. Looking forward to hearing more about what you’re building and how it evolves.
— bingkahu
I am glad I am not the only one having this thoughts. Thank you.
Greetings, Niclas, and welcome to the DEV Community! As @francistrdev mentioned, I’d encourage you to use AI as a mentor at this stage of your journey - with the caveat that it will get things wrong sometimes. Focus on building a strong foundation with the fundamentals, even if they seem a bit boring at first!
Thanks, I am leaning in that direction.
Brilliant! May I wish you the very best of luck, and hope to hear more about your journey!
Thanks, sure I am working on a draft on some good things I have learnt using vibe condig so far.
Great! Look forward to seeing the post(s)!
Hi all 👋
I work on building and deploying SaaS MVPs end-to-end (full-stack + DevOps).
These days I’m mostly focused on clean infra, CI/CD, and automations with n8n — helping solo founders ship faster and avoid production headaches.
Excited to connect and learn from everyone here 🙂
Welcome to DEV, James. There's lots to learn in the community.
Hi James, welcome to DEV. Your focus on clean infrastructure, CI/CD, and automation for solo founders is spot-on — especially in the MVP space where speed and reliability often compete for attention. It’s great to see someone thinking end-to-end, not just about shipping features but about making the entire pipeline sustainable.
n8n is a powerful choice for automation, and it’s refreshing to see it mentioned outside the usual enterprise contexts. Curious how you’re integrating it — are you using it for deployment triggers, notifications, or something more custom? There’s a lot of potential in combining low-code workflows with full-stack engineering, especially when the goal is to reduce friction for small teams or solo builders.
Also interested in your approach to “clean infra.” Are you leaning toward declarative provisioning (e.g. Terraform, Pulumi), container orchestration, or something more bespoke? The term can mean different things depending on the scale and goals, but it always points toward clarity, reproducibility, and minimal surprises — which is exactly what solo founders need when they’re juggling product, ops, and growth.
Looking forward to seeing more of your insights and learning from your experience. Thanks for joining and sharing your work.
— bingkahu
Greetings, James. Welcome to the DEV Community. I know you'll find a lot of liked-minded folks with interests and knowledge similar to your own here. Look forward to hearing more about your experiences!
Hey James! Hope you are doing well. Welcome!
What is one of the MVPs you are working on specifically? Regardless, welcome again!
Thank you. @francistrdev.
I am working on developing AI Inbound/Outbound Agent using Telnyx + 11 lab's + OpenAI Api..
If you are interested, I am very happy.
Sounds awesome! Looking forward to your development here :)
Hi Dev family. My name is Daniel and I am here to conect and share my amazing experiences with you all. Also looking foward to learn from those who know more than me. I am a full stack engineer and I build games with pygame as a hobby.
Here's more about me. Read my introductry Articele (It's very fun)
HOW I BECAME SUPERMAN
Daniel Possible Kwabi ・ Jan 29
Hey Daniel. Welcome to the community! Also a Full-Stack Dev here too! Currently honing my skills in that area along with learning AI integrating. Will read to your introduction article as well! What things have you built in pygame so far?
Regardless, welcome aboard!
Just the normal standard stuff but with some touches of innovation along the line. Snake....(standard stuff). And there's the ones where I like to innovate. Type racers, Soccer Pong(I made pygong into soccer pong). I tried something with squid game red light green light trying to mix the logic up with cars....
But I want to work on my next project where I want to recreate the bricks game we(well I) used to play as kids. It had the games in A, B, C, D.... 99999 in 1.
Hi Daniel, welcome to DEV. Your introduction and your “HOW I BECAME SUPERMAN” post are a breath of fresh air — full of personality, reflection, and genuine passion for the craft. It’s rare to see someone trace their journey with such honesty and imagination, and it’s clear that your path into tech has been shaped by curiosity, ambition, and a deep love for building.
Your story captures something many developers feel but don’t always articulate: the way childhood dreams evolve into technical pursuits, and how each phase — whether it’s wanting to fly planes or peek into NASA — leaves a mark on how we approach problem-solving today. That sense of wonder is still alive in your work, especially in the way you describe building games with Pygame and exploring the math behind it all.
Doing that without a full engine like Unity or Unreal shows real dedication. It’s not just about the tools — it’s about understanding the mechanics, the loops, the drawing routines, and the logic that makes everything tick. That kind of hands-on experience builds intuition, and it’s clear you’re not just coding — you’re learning how systems behave.
It’s also great to hear you’re part of a remote team solving real-world problems. That transition from passion projects to professional impact is something many developers aspire to, and your story shows it’s possible to get there while staying true to your creative roots.
Looking forward to reading more of your posts and seeing what you build next. Thanks for sharing your journey — and welcome again.
— bingkahu
I'm glad you find my post orignal and delightful
Greeting, Daniel. Welcome to this wonderful community that is DEV! Thanks for linking your first post - which I've bookmarked for later. I've not looked into Pygame yet, as a Pythonista, it is on my list - perhaps you'll post more about your experiences with it at some point?
Yes, I plan on sharing my experiences with pygame as well.
Great! Look forward to reading about those!
Hi devs, i am currently beginning my career in this field.
i am a 3rd year Btech stud from india(southern part) and just like everyone i chose this field for money but only when i entered my sophomore year i got exposed to my core subjects, since i had no idea what is CSE, they taught the foundational things so i got amazed by the historical/generational wisdom of how this field slowly evolved from starting - at this point i am just fascinated from the workings and mechanism and slowly developed a connection towards embedded systems(since they are the core things in CSE field at that point). Naturally, I am a philosophical person so instead of getting familiar with the concepts like a usual person would proceed(tutorial/coding/practicing), i started connecting dots from what i know - i used read more philosophical books like Kybalion(my "must read" suggestion) in which they clearly mentioned the 7 principles that make up and operate the universe and u will understand what is universe itself, i am clearly in a different sanctum at that point - so while entering the CSE filed this unusual combo made me crazy and i started making up things.... let me end this crazy yap, so yes guys the philosophy of universe and CSE inclined me towards the AI and superintelligence and also i am great lover of FOSS since the idea of mutual trading of work is amazing and i am always curious to trade knowledge, work, and i am kinda that utopia person... so guide me please i am complete new to this field and feeling lost , not to mention it is recent that i started doing than overthinking things
Hey Jaiguruu. Hope you are well. Welcome to the community!
I was wondering what are your current goals as of now? I tend to take it one step at a time and start simple when it comes to overthinking.
Regardless, welcome!
Thank you Francis, as of now I am currently planning to contribute to open source projects and skill up parallelly for interview in on-campus which I will be facing in 6 months
Excited to travel along with you all!!
That sounds great! Good luck on interview prep btw!
Hi Jaiguruu, welcome to DEV. Your post is one of the most unique and heartfelt introductions I’ve read in a long time. The way you’ve connected your philosophical interests with your journey into Computer Science and Engineering shows a depth of curiosity that goes far beyond surface-level learning. That kind of perspective — blending systems thinking with metaphysical inquiry — can lead to truly original insights.
It’s completely normal to feel lost when entering a field as vast and layered as CSE. The important thing is that you’ve moved from passive interest to active exploration. You’re no longer just thinking — you’re starting to build, experiment, and connect ideas. That shift matters.
Your interest in embedded systems is a great starting point. They sit at the intersection of hardware and software, and they force you to think about constraints, efficiency, and real-world impact. If you’re drawn to foundational mechanisms, embedded work will teach you how systems behave at their most elemental level.
The philosophical lens you bring — especially ideas from the Kybalion — can offer a refreshing way to interpret computing principles. Concepts like polarity, rhythm, and correspondence might seem abstract, but they echo in areas like signal processing, logic design, and even machine learning. You don’t need to abandon that lens; just balance it with hands-on practice.
Since you’re interested in AI and superintelligence, I’d suggest starting with:
Basic Python programming and data structures
Introductory machine learning (scikit-learn, TensorFlow, or PyTorch)
Open-source projects that welcome beginners (check out GitHub issues labeled “good first issue”)
And since you love FOSS, contributing to documentation, translations, or small bug fixes is a great way to get involved while learning. The spirit of mutual exchange you described — trading knowledge and work — is exactly what open-source thrives on.
You’re not alone in feeling overwhelmed. But you’re asking the right questions, and you’re clearly driven by something deeper than just career goals. That’s a strength. Keep building, keep reading, and keep connecting the dots. Your path doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s.
Looking forward to seeing what you create and how your ideas evolve.
— bingkahu
Thanks for your insight on my vision bingkahu, i feel refreshed from ur hope and not mention u contributed a big log to my fire
Hey, Jaiguruu! Welcome to the community here at DEV. Your mix of philosophy and tech is super interesting - it’s cool to see someone thinking about the "big picture" while diving into CSE. I really appreciate your love for FOSS too! Excited to see what you build!
Thank you Richard, I will continue working on my projects now on, I felt lost but even a small appreciation from a human is enough to fuel, and I love to work in community. I never had chance to work in community but even a small humanly appreciation matters a lot to me.
Once again, thank you Richard Pascoe!!
You're more than welcome and I know I speak for many here at DEV in that we all look forward to reading more about your journey. The very best of luck, Jaiguruu!
Hey Dev.to! 👋

I’m all about diving headfirst into the ever-changing tech landscape—let’s be real, the entire tech world is shifting at an insane pace right now. What I’m hyped about most? Building AI applications powered by databases.
AI tech is evolving day by day, and the AI infrastructure behind it is transforming just as fast. I’m here to soak up knowledge, swap insights with all of you, and dig into the nitty-gritty of this super exciting intersection.
Hoping for a legendary journey here, make tons of new developer friends, and share all the cool stuff I pick up along the way.
Let’s build, learn, and grow together!
Hello Echo! Glad you join the Dev community!
Agree more about how the world is changing in tech! I am also into AI along with being a Full Stack Dev. Any projects you are currently working on? Welcome again!
Thanks for the warm welcome, Fransic! Great to connect with you here. I've been working on building my personal RAG system powered by an AI database lately. I'm also experimenting with some cool new features using AI databases, similar to what Clawdbot does. As you know, this kind of project has blown up recently. I'd love to hear your thoughts and any advice you might have! :)
I actually briefly mention about Clawdbot in my Monthly Report for Jan. The overview is great but a great security risk since it is basically taking over your whole computer. Regardless, I think that is a great idea you have. Never mess with an Database with AI in it in particular. What database are you using?
Hi Echo, welcome to DEV. Your energy and clarity come through immediately — it’s great to see someone diving into the fast-moving intersection of AI and databases with such focus and enthusiasm. That space is evolving rapidly, and it’s one of the most promising areas for building tools that are both intelligent and grounded in real-world data.
The way you framed it — AI infrastructure transforming alongside the models themselves — is exactly right. It’s not just about what the models can do, but how we feed them, store context, retrieve relevance, and maintain performance at scale. Databases aren’t just backends anymore — they’re becoming active participants in the intelligence loop.
Would love to hear more about the kinds of applications you’re building. Are you working with vector databases, hybrid search, or something more transactional? And how do you approach the balance between experimentation and stability when the tech stack shifts so quickly?
Your intent to learn, share, and connect is exactly what makes this community thrive. Looking forward to seeing your posts, hearing your insights, and watching your journey unfold.

Hi everyone! I’m an indie developer building my own small products. I love taking new AI capabilities and turning them into practical tools that solve real problems I see in the community, so more people can actually use them in daily work.
The speed of AI progress honestly amazes me—it’s pushing me to learn faster, experiment more, and ship more often. If you’re also building with AI, I’d love to hear what you’re working on and what’s been the most surprising part of the journey for you.
(Also happy to connect and exchange ideas—say hi!)
Hi renomeeai, welcome to DEV. Your introduction captures the spirit of indie development with clarity and purpose — building small, practical tools that actually help people is one of the most impactful ways to contribute to the tech ecosystem. It’s great to see someone focused not just on experimentation, but on usefulness.
The pace of progress in this space is definitely intense, and your response — learning faster, shipping more often — is exactly what makes indie builders so agile. There’s something powerful about being able to spot a need, prototype a solution, and release it without waiting for permission or scale. That kind of momentum builds real value.
Would be curious to hear more about the kinds of problems you’re solving. Are you focusing on productivity tools, developer workflows, or something more niche? And how do you decide which capabilities are worth integrating — especially when new models and APIs are dropping almost weekly?
Also appreciate your openness to exchanging ideas. The solo dev journey can be isolating at times, but conversations like this help surface patterns, challenges, and unexpected wins. Looking forward to seeing what you build next and learning from your process.

Hey renomeeai. Hope you are well. Welcome to the community! I am into AI development as well and currently honing my skills as a Full Stack Dev. I am currently working on a chrome extension that utilizes Image classification to detect AI images, though there is a lot of work needed to be done (Prob not use image classification and use other methods). What projects are you working on? Regardless, hope your journey goes well :D
Hey! My name is Ade! I'm a full-stack developer with over 15 years of experience. I'm excited to learn from everyone and to share knowledge that could be helpful with the community. I'm just looking to spend time with like-minded people. I'm based in Las Vegas. Excited to be here!
Hi Ade, welcome to DEV. It’s great to have someone with your depth of experience joining the conversation. Fifteen years in full-stack development is no small journey — and the fact that you’re still excited to learn and share says a lot about your mindset and generosity.
Spending time with like-minded people is one of the best ways to stay sharp and inspired, especially in a field that evolves as quickly as ours. Whether it’s new patterns in backend architecture, emerging frontend frameworks, or the ever-shifting landscape of DevOps and cloud tooling, there’s always something to explore — and your perspective will be valuable to others navigating those changes.
If you’re based in Las Vegas and working remotely or locally, I’d be curious to hear what kinds of projects you’ve enjoyed most recently. Are you leaning more toward product development, platform engineering, or something else entirely? And how do you balance the technical with the human — mentoring, collaboration, and community?
Looking forward to learning from your insights and seeing how you engage with the threads here. Thanks for joining and for being open to both teaching and learning.
— bingkahu
Welcome to the DEV Community, Adebayo. That's some years of experience you have! I would love to hear more about your journey in the weeks and months ahead. I'm sure you'll find many liked-minded people here!
Thanks! Yeah, I'm excited to get to know more people! I looked at your profile. It looks like you're really diving into Python! How has that been going?
I'm actually doing more HTML at the moment, through freeCodeCamp. Python remains close to my heart though as it's the language that got me coding again a few years back. I joined DEV this year because I was letting everything I had learnt up until that point disappear - something had to be done! So, posting here keeps my learning consistent at least.
I will be posting more Python-related stuff soon though - have a few projects in mind, like a web scraping project so I can see how many clear nights I average here at home (used to be an amateur astronomer).
Again, looking forward to hearing more about your own experiences. Nice to meet you!
Hey Adebayo. Hope you are well. Welcome to the Dev Community. What is your favorite part of being a Full-stack developer? I am also a Full Stack Dev, but still a newbie. Regardless, welcome!
Hey! Thank you! How long have you been programming for?
I would say my favorite part is that when you're building the front end and back end, and you're in charge of architectural decisions, it's much easier to move at high velocity because you don't have to coordinate as much. For example, if you only do frontend or backend, you're constantly going back and forth between the frontend or backend developers.
Also, understanding what's going on across all aspects of the development cycle makes it easier to work with teams.
That's great! Started programming around 2020, then slowly worked my way up. Decided to go full-stack recently, so barely any projects set up as of now. Appreciate it!
Hi, I'm Sean, great to be here! I'm working on a few exciting things - a mobile documentation app for developers, and a NVIDIA-Inception backed research project for GPU-accelerated data compression. Looking to connect with other builders and founders!
Hi Sean, welcome to DEV. Your projects sound genuinely exciting — especially the combination of a mobile documentation app and a GPU-accelerated data compression initiative backed by NVIDIA Inception. That’s a rare mix of practical tooling and deep technical research, and it’s great to see someone bridging those worlds.
The mobile documentation app feels especially timely. Developers are increasingly working across devices and contexts, and having fast, intuitive access to docs — whether for APIs, internal systems, or open-source libraries — can make a huge difference in productivity. Curious how you’re approaching offline support, search indexing, and formatting consistency across platforms.
As for the data compression project, GPU acceleration opens up fascinating possibilities. Whether you’re working with scientific datasets, media pipelines, or real-time analytics, the ability to compress and decompress at speed can unlock new workflows. Would love to hear more about the algorithms you’re exploring and how you’re balancing throughput with fidelity.
Looking forward to seeing your posts and learning from your journey. Thanks for joining and for bringing such a sharp builder mindset to the community.

Hey Sean! Hope you are well. Welcome to the Dev community! Looks like you having a great start on this platform with some posts you made!
Can you tell me more about "NVIDIA-Inception backed research project for GPU-accelerated data compression". Sounds pretty interesting.
Welcome again!
Hello everyone 👋
I just joined DEV and wanted to properly introduce myself.
I am rdbhvr.
I’m a Linux user and open-source contributor who cares a lot about clarity, minimalism, and documentation that actually helps people. Lately, I’ve been spending time around tiling window managers, CLI tools, and projects where the documentation often lags far behind the code.
One of the things I’m currently involved in is improving and organizing community-driven documentation — especially for projects that are powerful but under-documented. I strongly believe that good docs are a form of accessibility, and that open source doesn’t grow without lowering the entry barrier for contributors.
Most importantly, of all, I am a student and I actively self learn many things. I am new to this community. Willing to contribute, get contributions and reshape the entire digital realms with projects useful to the society. Felt this as too lengthy? This is my default style and I always prefer depth over breadth.
Hope I will have a nice journey with my fellow devs.
Hi rdbhvr, welcome to DEV. Your introduction is a standout — not just for its clarity and depth, but for the values it reflects. The emphasis on minimalism, accessibility, and documentation that actually helps people is something many developers care about but few articulate as well as you have.
Your work around tiling window managers and CLI tools already places you in a space where precision and user control matter deeply. These tools often attract power users, but they can also intimidate newcomers — which makes your focus on improving documentation especially important. Good docs aren’t just a convenience; they’re a gateway. They lower the barrier to entry, preserve community knowledge, and make powerful tools usable by more people.
It’s also great to hear you’re a student and actively self-learning. That combination of curiosity and initiative is exactly what drives open-source forward. Whether you’re contributing code, organizing docs, or just asking thoughtful questions, you’re already shaping the digital space in meaningful ways.
Your writing style — preferring depth over breadth — is a strength. It invites real conversation and shows that you’re not here for surface-level engagement. Looking forward to seeing your contributions and learning from your perspective. You’re in the right place, and your journey is just beginning.
— bingkahu
Hello to you too, rdbhvr! Welcome to the DEV Community! As someone just venturing into Linux and looking to contribute within open source, I very much look forward to hearing more about your journey and experiences!
I believe documentation is a good way to get into open source, is it not? Now I am gaining more confidence writing here at DEV, I might consider it - soon!
Thanks for the verbose intro, by the way - it's appreciated!
Thank you very much. Yeah. I love documentation because most of the things in the internet world is sparse, I feel that something is missing, underdocumented for example. If you are a linux user, you know the bspwm window manager, it is powerful, but lacks a good documentation, usually most powerful features of its functionality are undermined. So I am currently writing a documentation on it.

Hey rdbhvr! Welcome to the Dev Community. I appreciate your formal introduction here!
Seems like you are learning a lot as a student! A lot of resources here to improve on your journey! Anything particular you enjoy so far as a Open source contributor?
Yeah. Actually. Contributing to other projects gives me three things
Hi Dev Community!

Hey,
Toby here, joined for learning purposes. Focusing on WEB DEV.
Pleased to join the team, hopefully, I will learn more than just what I came for.
Welcome to the community!
You just made one of the best decisions of your life. There are so many talented writers here, you're gonna get overwhelmed - guaranteed.
Hey Toby! Welcome to dev.to! Any specific you are learning in Web Dev (React, Tailwind CSS, etc)?
Again, Welcome!
I'm currently learning React
Welcome to the community here at DEV, Toby. As others have said, you've made a great choice. Plenty of members here at all different stages of their learning journey.
( Warning: bad grammar ahead! )
Hye im Hana, a complete novice here. Im delighted to be stumbled upon this amazing community. Im planning to pursue a degree in data science with completely zero knowledge, not even from computer science background.
I hope by joining this community will widen my horizon towards the amazing AMAZING tech world. Im in my mid 20s and i feel bad abt myself for taking it too long before joining this side of the globe. I hope i can still make it and be as good as yall. For now i feel alienated bcs of all the jargons thrown here n there. But, I'll try my best to keep up until everytg here will make sense just from A glance!
Looking forward to this eye-opening journey ^^
Greetings, Hana! It’s great that you’ve decided to join the DEV Community. Being in your mid-20s and just starting your journey - don’t be too hard on yourself. I have decades on you, and I still feel like a newbie!
You’ll find many welcoming and knowledgeable folks here, and I’m sure you’ll feel right at home soon enough.
Hey Hana! Welcome to the community! As @richardpascoe mentions, you will find your place here with people that share similar experiences as you! Also, it's never too late, I am also in my mid 20s as well and I recently joined! Again, welcome!
Hi everyone!
I'm excited to join the community!
I love to build and share open-source utilities. Just published my first article here! It's about a tool I built to convert legacy FB2 e-books into clean Markdown (perfect for feeding into LLMs or RAG pipelines).
I'm here to learn, share, and grow alongside other builders. If you're into Python, AI, or just love solving problems with code - let's connect!
Building a Custom FB2 Converter for LLMs
Fit Happens ML ・ Jan 29
Hi Fit Happens ML, welcome to DEV. Your introduction and first article already show a strong sense of purpose — building open-source utilities that solve real problems is one of the most direct and generous ways to contribute to the developer community. The FB2-to-Markdown converter is a great example: it’s niche, practical, and clearly designed with downstream use cases in mind.
The fact that you’re thinking about LLMs and RAG pipelines while working with legacy formats shows a thoughtful approach to data preparation. It’s easy to overlook how much friction comes from messy inputs, and tools like yours help bridge that gap. Markdown is a clean, portable format, and converting older e-book structures into something usable for modern NLP workflows is a smart move.
Also appreciate your mindset around learning, sharing, and growing alongside other builders. That kind of openness makes collaboration easier and more rewarding. Would be curious to hear more about your process — how you identify problems worth solving, how you scope utility tools, and how you balance polish with speed when shipping.
Looking forward to reading your article in full and seeing what you build next. Thanks for joining and for contributing something useful right out of the gate.
— bingkahu
Hey! Welcome to the community!
Your article seems interesting! I am also into Python and AI. Currently on learning and honing my skills in Full Stack and AI development! Any goals for this year?
In any case, welcome!
Greetings, Fit Happens. Welcome to the DEV Community. As a fellow Pythonista myself, I look forward to hearing more about your journey and reading more posts to boot. I've bookmarked your first one to read later!
Hi everyone 👋
I’m a software crafter specializing in Blazor, React, TypeScript, C#, and .NET. I care deeply about DDD, Clean Architecture, and writing code future-me won’t hate.
Currently learning Blazor Hybrid and .NET MAUI—because apparently I enjoy living on the edge of Microsoft’s roadmap.
I’m into AI, open source, modern web applications, and web design that respects both users and developers.
Spicy opinions (served gently):
Frameworks don’t save bad design
Clean code beats clever code every time
“We’ll refactor later” is a lie we tell ourselves
Happy to be here—let’s build cool stuff and argue politely about architecture.
Hi Tino, welcome to DEV. Your intro hits a rare balance — sharp technical focus, strong architectural values, and a clear sense of humor. That last line about arguing politely over architecture is exactly the kind of energy that keeps this space constructive and fun.
Your stack and interests suggest you’re operating at the intersection of frontend precision and backend clarity. Blazor Hybrid and .NET MAUI are bold choices — especially given how fast Microsoft’s roadmap shifts — but they also offer a lot of potential for unified experiences across platforms. Curious how you’re finding the trade-offs between performance, tooling maturity, and long-term maintainability.
Your “spicy opinions” are refreshingly honest. The one about frameworks not saving bad design is especially resonant. It’s easy to get caught up in tooling trends, but without a solid foundation — clear boundaries, thoughtful abstractions, and a shared understanding of purpose — even the best framework becomes a liability. And yes, “we’ll refactor later” is often just a polite way of saying “we won’t.”
If you’re deep into DDD and Clean Architecture, I’d love to hear how you approach layering in real-world projects. Do you lean toward strict separation (e.g. hexagonal architecture) or take a more pragmatic stance depending on team size and delivery pressure? And how do you balance future-me friendliness with onboarding clarity for others?
Looking forward to seeing your posts and joining a few of those polite architecture debates. Thanks for bringing such a clear voice to the community.
— bingkahu
Welcome to the DEV Community, Tino. Quite the intro - I like it! Some of those technologies flew right over my head - I must admit - but very curious to read more about your journey and experiences with them!
Thx, Richard. Will post stuff about my journey here when I think it's relevant.
Great, Tino - no pressure but look forward to reading more about your journey in time!
Hey Tino. Welcome aboard! Also into AI and Open Source as well! What is your favorite thing you build if you don't mind me asking? Welcome again!
Happy to be here and thank you to all who want to learn and grow together!!!
Hey Rik! Welcome to dev.to!
Any projects you are currently working on? I notice that you are working on "Family media content request system for the family media server" on your profile. Can you tell me more about that project?
Welcome again!
Thanks! So the long and the short is that my family only use verbal or SMS to have me respond to what media I have........always starting out "Hey is the media server still running" so wanted to build almost like a ticket system to allow self inquiry of what content is available but also a method to request media
Ohhh I see! That seems like an interesting idea. What technologies are you using to build this (React, HTML, CSS, etc)?
Welcome to DEV, Rik. Do you have any particular areas of interest? Programming? Web development? Either way, you'll find a warm and welcoming home here!
Just want to build..............always grow and learn quicker when you do it with your own hands.......however help and tools always make it less painful and a much quicker way to get to realization
Sounds great, Rik. Wish you well on your journey! You'll find plenty of resources and like-minded people here at DEV.
Hey folks 👋
I’m a full-stack developer currently learning more about AI-native development—especially agentic workflows and real-world automation. I enjoy clean architecture, backend systems, and experimenting with new ideas. Looking forward to learning from you all!

Thanks @richardpascoe
Hi everyone! 👋
I'm Tiger, a developer passionate about DevOps and self-hosting. I joined the community to share what I've learned about optimizing engineering workflows and to learn from all of you.
Currently, I'm working on a tool called Velovol to help teams distribute self-hosted development environments (kind of like an on-prem alternative to Codespaces).
Looking forward to connecting with fellow builders and DevOps enthusiasts! Happy coding! 🚀
Welcome to the DEV Community, Tiger. Oh, self hosting - nice! This is the year I am hoping to fully migrate from Big Tech, so looking at any and all self hosting options myself. Velovol sounds extremely interesting, hope you decide to post about it here!
Hi, my name is Bobbie George Burton and I am a Dev from the UK. I am 37 years old and so far I have self taught myself everything I know about software development. I learnt and conquered my 1st project at the age of 21. In which I rooted and installed a TWRP recovery to my lg cookie android phone ! I then went on to install both a lineageos/clickworkmod custom rom to try both firmwares out. Since then I've been hooked on the technological advancements powering the world to this today. I especially am intrigued, excited about web3 development. Blockchain technologies, NFT's, crypto, Dapps, Metaverses, Gamefi. I am hyped about EVERYTHING going down in the dev world right about now aha :/ I will contribute towards any project/ challenge I am able to ! Wanna know the best thing about me? I am not qualified nor certified pofficially as a dev, I have no portfolio as yet ! I am currently studying on codecademy to become a front-end engineer. BUT... I am self taught and am skilled 🙂
Welcome to the DEV community, Bobbie! As @francistrdev mentioned, that’s a very impressive journey you’ve had. I’m self-taught myself, though nowhere near your level - yet!
One of my goals this year is to migrate away from Big Tech, and I’ve always felt my mobile phone would be the sticking point, so I’m still looking into "de-Googling" myself.
Best of luck with your journey at Codecademy - I’m currently working through freeCodeCamp myself!
Hey Bobbie. Welcome to the community! Very impressive journey you have so far as a self-taught developer! Not a lot of people can have that consistency and dedication into learning something. What goals do you have planned? Any projects you are currently working on now? Hope your journey continues to strive!
Hello! I’m a developer who loves breaking down programs to see how they work under the hood. Currently mastering C/C++ and looking to contribute to open-source projects. I’m here to learn, make friends, and find my next challenge in the industry (internships/jobs).
Greetings, 70rn4d0. Welcome to the DEV Community. I'm a Pythonista myself but would be very interested in hearing more about your journey, especially your love for breaking down programs and your desire to contribute to open-source.
Hi Richard! Thanks for the warm welcome, This 'low-level' journey taught me that I don't just want to be a programmer who completes tasks; I want to be a 'Computer Architect' who understands every byte of the engine.
I’m currently applying this to a project called ft_transcendence where I’m handling security and infrastructure,
I think open-source is the best way to move from 'student' to 'professional.' I’m looking for projects where I can help with performance or security. Looking forward to connecting more with you here!
Hi everyone!
I am currently searching for new opportunities and would love to be part of a developer community. My goal is to gain hands-on experience, learn from others, and deeply understand the world of development through collaboration and shared knowledge.

Hey everyone 👋 glad to be here.
One thing that’s been on my mind lately is the paradox around AI and programming. There’s a lot of noise about “AI replacing developers,” but I think that framing misses what actually makes developers valuable.
For me, the role is shifting more toward architecture than output. Code generation isn’t the end of programming — it’s a new substrate. Just like when we learned new languages, frameworks, or paradigms, AI is another tool to reason with, not a replacement to reason for us.
What I’d encourage other developers to do is adopt AI the same way we adopt any new tech: experimentally. Treat it as a testbed. Use it to explore new syntax, simulate edge cases, compare approaches across languages, and stress-test assumptions. Not just “generate code,” but study the behavior of the code it generates.
The real opportunity isn’t using AI like a consumer (chatbots, copy-paste answers), but using it like a developer — building small sandboxes, probing different layers of a system, running thought experiments, and learning faster than we could alone.
All the tools are already here. What matters is how we engage with them.
Looking forward to learning from everyone here.
Hey everyone! 👋
I'm Abilash, a maker focused on building simple, privacy-first tools.
Just published my first post here: How I Built a Privacy-First vCard QR Code Generator (No Backend Required)
I built a free tool that generates vCard QR codes entirely client-side — no accounts, no subscriptions, no data collection. Everything runs in your browser.
Excited to connect with other builders here. Always happy to chat about privacy-first development, static sites, or monetizing side projects without recurring subscriptions.
See you around! 🚀

Hi gang. I am Ben. I'm a full stack engineer based in Glasgow, Scotland.
I work with JavaScript and typescript, and I do a fair amount of home lab projects with a few different languages on a Linux server.
Looking forward to getting to know some more folk in the industry, and seeing what projects are on the go.
Evening, Benjamin, and welcome to the community here at DEV. I'm sure you'll feel right at home here.
Very interested in hearing more about your home lab projects - hope you feel able to post about them in the weeks and months ahead.
Hey everyone.. I’m Mohit, just a dev trying to stay consistent and ship small things without overthinking. I write code, break things, fix them, repeat. Excited to be here and learn from all of you!
Welcome to the DEV Community, Mohit. A lovely mindset you have there, which has no doubt served you well on your development journey. Looking forward to you sharing some of those same experiences with us all!
Hey everyone — I spend most of my time thinking about how AI agents get access to live data.
I’m particularly interested in reducing tool sprawl and unnecessary layers between models and the data they need (for cost, latency, and sanity).
Looking forward to learning from what people are building here.
Hello everyone,
I'm Luis and I'm from Southern California. I'm currently beginning to transition into the tech industry, I'm learning JavaScript at the moment and having fun. I look forward to working and talking with many of you. Feel free to shoot me a message!
Greetings, Luis! There are plenty of JavaScript enthusiasts here, so you should feel right at home in no time. Welcome to the DEV Community!

Hey everyone, how’s it going.....
I’m Ashfaque from Mumbai. Right now I’m juggling DSA, MERN, and my sanity 😄
I’m not an expert (yet), but I am motivated and love collaborating on projects.
Got an idea? A rough concept? A “bro, what if…, thought?
Let’s build something cool together 🔥
Hello, Ashfaque! Indeed, that is quite the juggling act you have going on there! Regardless, welcome to DEV and I hope you find a lovely home here!
I'm David I write about why modern systems fail in quiet, preventable ways.
Not because of missing tools but because old trust assumptions outlive the systems they were built for.
My focus: identity, CI/CD, observability, and architectural drift.
📌 Start with the pinned post.
Why Modern Architectures Keep Failing Security Reviews (It’s Not a Tools Problem)
While sometimes it feels we are lost in codes, I am here to congregate with those who understand how that feels like. Or am I alone in that regards? Hello Void! :D
I am New here btw :)
Void no more! Welcome! What projects are you working on?
Danish ERP system. What about you?
Nice! Trying to plan out my next full stack app for my portfolio and working on a chrome extension.
Welcome to the community, LOE. Know that you've found a lovely home here at DEV. Looking forward to hearing more about your projects, as and when you can share!
Thank you Richard for the warm welcome :)
Love this initiative—creating a space that actually encourages people to speak up and connect is always a win. 👋
I think prompts like this lower the barrier for newcomers and make the community feel human instead of intimidating.
Personally, I’m here to keep learning, sharing practical dev experiences, and picking up different perspectives along the way.
It’d be great to see people not just introduce themselves, but also jump into each other’s journeys with questions or small bits of advice.
Looking forward to reading the comments and welcoming some fresh faces into the mix!
Hi there,

safe ways to use estimated 1RM (training max, RPE/RIR, etc.)
Hello there!
I'm Norkie. I'm building with AI tools and currently working on a few side projects. Most of what I build sits at the intersection of developer tools and AI. I like shipping things, documenting the process, and figuring things out in public. Here to share what I'm learning and learn from you.
Hi all! 👋
I like building things, breaking things, and learning how to build them better.
Mostly working with TypeScript and React, into both frontend and backend, and always thinking about the next side project.
Happy to share what I learn along the way and learn from you all too!
What tech are you enjoying working with the most lately?

Hello!
I'm kokogo.
I asked Claude, "Where have all the great developers gone?" and he pointed to the developer forum and replied, "They're all here."
Looking around, I was truly impressed by the vibrant atmosphere of this community.
I'm currently developing an IDE-style trading platform inspired by OpenClaw. Its most notable feature is that all its features work perfectly in a "sandbox" environment.
The platform uses the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to analyze and summarize real-time news from 32 countries. It supports global markets and employs a unique approach that doesn't use charts at all.
I love unusual ideas. Haha. I even built a side-loading blackjack counting app. I'm a bit of a nerd.
I'm still learning, but I hope to quietly follow in the footsteps of those who have made great contributions in this field before me.
I'm thrilled to be joining you!
Hi everyone! I’m Zahra, a Software Engineering student currently in my 6th semester. I’ve spent the last few months diving deep into Machine Learning, and I’m excited to start studying Natural Language Processing (NLP) next semester!
So far, I’ve worked on CCTV weapon detection, which taught me a lot about computer vision. Now, I’m looking ahead to my Final Year Project (FYP) and want to build something that truly stands out to recruiters and international master programs.
To the seniors in the community: What is one real-world problem you see in the industry right now that could be solved using a combination of NLP and ML? I’d love to hear your advice on what makes a project 'gold' for a resume!
