Hi everyone! Just joined dev.to after spending some time lurking around anonymously. I will be sharing my thoughts on software development and backend. I’ve been working as a backend developer for about 2 years. I majored in game development, so I may occasionally write about that too. I’ve just published my first post here, appreciate hearing your thoughts on it.

Looking forward to connect with fellow developers here.

Got it. Where are you from? is it difficult to learn this language?

I'm from Indonesia. I think it's relatively easy, it's known for simple syntax. If you come from a language that is designed for OOP, it would require some adaptation.

Welcome! What do you use for game development? I've played around with Godot and GDScript and really liked it. Are you working on any games right now?

I mainly use Unity, so it's C#. I am currently not working on games, but I just learned to make games with lua recently. Maybe Godot next, heard it can also use C#.

Nice! Yeah, Godot can use C#. Definitely check it out when you find your way back to game dev. I wish I had more time for it.

Hello everyone. I'm new to the forum. I was looking for a forum like this. Thanks to GPT, I found you. A little bit about me. I'm from Germany, I'm 48 years old, and I'm not a programmer. I'm trying to write programs with the help of Windsurf and various AIs, even though I don't know anything about coding—absolutely nothing. But it's somewhat doable, depending on the AI's coding skills. Anyway, I'm happy to be here.

Hi Nikolay,
I don’t work in the software industry, so unfortunately I can’t tell you much about the market in Germany.
However, I’d recommend checking out some specialized job boards for programmers — for example:
• DEVjobs.de – devjobs.de/
• Get-in-IT – get-in-it.de/
• GermanTechJobs – germantechjobs.de/
• BerlinStartupJobs – berlinstartupjobs.com/
• Jobvector – jobvector.de/

You can also find many suitable offers on larger platforms such as:
• StepStone – stepstone.de/
• Indeed – de.indeed.com/
• LinkedIn – linkedin.com/jobs/
• Stellenanzeigen.de – stellenanzeigen.de/

Maybe you’ll find something there that fits you well.

I’m Nikolay, a 4th-year student and a frontend developer specializing in React — though I also work as a full‑stack developer. I really enjoy building cool projects, learning new technologies, and sharing ideas with other developers.
I’m looking to make new friends who are also passionate about programming. If anyone wants to chat more about web development or tech in general, feel free to message me here — or we can talk on Telegram (t.me/Vesely_Kolyanchik) or WhatsApp 😊

Hello community! I've started working on a solution that will enable developers to build AI systems compliant with various legal frameworks (such as EU AI Act), certifications (such as ISO42001). Will be sharing various insights I gain, as well as educational content.

Hey everyone!

I'm Daniel, and I work in DevRel at Xano. My path here was weird. I started in Industrial and Organizational Psychology, discovered NoCode tools three years ago, and shipped my first mobile app in 30 days. That experience is where it started and completely changed my career trajectory.
I got obsessed with building and went from no-code to low-code (Flutter) and now I'm deep in all things GenAI, Agents, MCP, and AI-assisted development. I ended up quitting my job, freelancing for a year doing everything from code reviews to helping engineering teams adopt modern tooling, and eventually landed at Xano (one of my favorite tools hired me, which still feels surreal).
Right now I'm building SessionBridge an AI memory platform that works across Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, etc. Shipped the first version in 3 days and learning a ton about what AI memory actually needs to be. Turns out RAG isn't memory, and the hard problems are all backend problems.

I'm here to share what I'm learning about building AI products fast, backend patterns for AI agents, and most importantly helping others pivot into tech and reinvent themselves. Excited to be part of this community and sorry I don't know how to keep these short! lol

Hello everyonešŸ‘‹

I’m Majdi ZLITNI a developer from Tunisia who’s passionate about building cool, real-world software that actually helps people.
You can check out a bit more about me on my website
or connect with me on LinkedIn

I began my journey in automation engineering, but I’ve always had a deep love for software development especially .NET, React, and everything TypeScript. These days, I’m learning by building projects and apps that blend backend logic with great user experiences.

I really enjoy connecting with others whether you’re just starting out or deep into your career to share ideas, struggles, and small wins.

Hi there, I've been working as a backend dev for two years now after transitioning from journalism to software development. My key language is go (golang). I started publishing articles to share things I've been working on and someone said I should be here instead of medium :) so here I am. I am currently based in Brazil.

Hey folks, I’m Juno.
Self-taught full-stack dev with ~30 years in the trenches, mostly in C# and JavaScript. I build distributed systems with a big focus on maintainability, clarity, fault tolerance, observability, and making hard things usable. Right now I’m especially interested in civic tech, event-driven architecture, and user experience beyond the screen.

Latest project: Nudges, a Kafka-powered SMS marketing platform built from scratch with .NET, GraphQL, Terraform, and Keycloak.
Here to share ideas, swap build stories, and maybe learn a thing or two from all of you.

Question for anyone: Would you read posts covering more of the "why" behind systems architecture and code rather than the "how?"
