Hello
Hey!
Thanks!:)
Hi! I am Ripa. Now I am learning CSS. Almost finished, just trying to strengthen my site in responsive design. I heard about this from Programming Hero. So here I am.
Welcome Ripa! Welcome to DEV! What are your goals for this year? Great job on making progress on your CSS learning :)
Hey Ripa! Great to have you!!
welcome Ripa!
Helo ! :)
Hei Ripa!!😁
Welcome welcome welcome everyone! Please don't fee shy to comment here or anywhere else on the site with questions, suggestions, whatever.
Hello Ben! My name's Adam, I'm trying to change careers. I've done some html and css courses and I'm trying to study Javascript now. Idk what branch of tech I should focus on, I thought web dev would be boring building static web pages but I'm learning you can do a lot more in web dev now days. I think I'm interesting in building applications and tools for windows and mobile though. The "self taught" path I've been trekking feels very slow, I've considered a boot camp but I'm nervous it's just a money grab.
Anyways. Glad to be here and to be part of the community, excited to learn new things!
Welcome Adam!
Fr the self-taught grind is real but you're on the right track honestly. Everyone feels slow at the start.
Skip the bootcamp, save your money. YouTube and building real projects will teach you more.
JS is the right choice if you want to build apps. Just keep going.
Hi Adam! I'm new here too, excited to be part of the community as well!
Welcome! 👋 Good to see you here.
Hello, I’m Alexander. I’m aiming for my first junior DevOps role. Right now I’m self‑educating by building a multi‑hop VPN infrastructure (AmneziaWG, Xray, Ansible, Prometheus) to help my family and myself access information that’s restricted in our region. I joined dev.to to learn practical, relevant skills and connect with people who are solving real infrastructure problems.
Welcome, Alexander 👋
That’s a very practical way to learn DevOps — your setup sounds impressive already. Curious what’s been the hardest part so far?
Hello, Olga 🙂 The most challenging part was finding a balance between obfuscation (to bypass DPI) and performance for multiple clients. I tested different protocols—Xray, AmneziaWG, even pure WireGuard on port 443—but each had its own tradeoffs. Ultimately, I found a configuration that provided low latency for more than 15 concurrent users, all on the cheapest plan the VPS provider could offer.
However, some mobile providers here use a strict whitelist, and I haven't been able to solve this issue yet. It's a fascinating challenge.
By the way, your guide to Shopify themes is very practical—I don't run a store, but I can imagine how many people make this "it looks good" mistake. Do you often see store owners encounter performance issues after choosing the wrong theme?
Welcome Here Alexander ! I will be happy to connect 😊
Thank you, Valentin! Nice to meet you 😊
Your TodoAI project is really interesting. The idea of combining task management with an autonomous Claude agent (especially the GoAI Mode) is something I haven't seen before.
By the way, I noticed you're working from Tbilisi — I'm actually planning to relocate there after landing my first remote DevOps role. Small world!
I'm curious about how you approached the autonomous agent part. What were the biggest challenges with context building or subprocess management?
Looking forward to staying in touch!
Hi everyone, I’m Aftab. I’m into web and software development, mainly working with PHP, C#, and .NET, and lately I’ve also been exploring cloud and AI-related projects. I joined because I like learning from other builders and picking up practical skills I can actually use in real projects. Fun fact: I enjoy jumping between backend development and experimenting with new tools way too often. Looking forward to learning with you all 👋
@aftabkh4n "Welcome! I'm also learning about AI APIs right now. Good luck with your journey!"
Welcome here Aftab ! On what kind of project you are working on ?
Hey everyone 👋
I’m currently building SaaS tools and admin dashboards (focused on real usability, not just UI).
Working on a couple projects right now and trying to improve the developer experience side of things.
Happy to connect with other builders here 🚀
Great to hear! Welcome to DEV :D
What kind of SaSS tools are you building specifically?
Thanks! I’m working on Nexa Admin — a SaaS admin dashboard template with Next.js. Just trying to make something clean and actually useful for developers to build on, not just a UI showcase.
Nice, usability over just UI is rare these days. What kind of SaaS tools are you working on?
hello
Hey everyone — I'm Rohith.
I've spent the last year building LLM systems in production. Started with a RAG chatbot for enterprise warehouse management, ended up with two production services, a shared orchestration layer, and a lot of hard lessons about what actually matters when these systems run under real load.
Most of what I've learned isn't about the model. It's about everything around it.
Just published my first article here. Writing more as I go.
Good to be here.
Great work on your first article and welcome to DEV! Hope your journey goes well on DEV :D
Hi Dev.to 👋
I'm a Go / Vue dev based in Ukraine, and for the past year I've been building something called Road511 — a REST API that normalizes real-time traffic data from every US state and Canadian province 511 system into one
consistent schema.
Over the next 6–8 weeks I'll publish a deep-dive series about the technical decisions behind it. If you work on data pipelines, API design, geospatial systems, or you've ever tried to integrate 30+ upstream services with 30+
different schemas — this one's for you.
## Why Road511 exists
Every US state and Canadian province runs its own "511" traveler information system — traffic events, road conditions, cameras, DMS signs, rest areas. They all serve the same kinds of data. They all do it differently:
Want cameras for a cross-state trip? That's five integrations, five auth flows, five update schedules.
Road511 aggregates 80+ source servers into one REST API with a unified schema. One call, one key, one response format.
## What's in the data
Every endpoint has a GeoJSON variant. Drop it into Leaflet or Mapbox and it just works.
## The series
Already published:
Coming up — expect one post per week:
Follow the series tag (sidebar, right) if you want new posts to land in your feed automatically.
## Stack
cmd/api(public API + customer portal) andcmd/worker(scheduler + adapters + admin)## Try it
If there's a 511 system I haven't covered, a feature you wish existed, or a data source I should look at — drop it in the comments. I'm actively building and this series will shift based on what people actually want.
See you in the next post.
Hi DEV Community!
I’m Hema — a SDET with 9 years of experience in software testing and quality engineering. I’ve recently started learning machine learning, generative AI, and responsible AI from a QA perspective, and I’m documenting my journey learning in public.
I regularly share my learnings and AI‑focused QA insights on my blog as well:
hemaai.hashnode.dev/
Excited to be part of the DEV community and to learn, share, and grow together. Feedback and conversations are always welcome! 😊
That's great to hear and glad you are still in your DEV journey after 9 years! Great work and welcome to DEV :D
Welcome! Mac dev here too — nice to see another [Swift/desktop/indie] person joining. What are you working on currently?
Hi! I’m Jayanth, a CS graduate. I’m excited to stay updated on the latest tech trends and see the incredible projects the community is contributing here. Looking forward to learning and connecting with you all!
Hey, I'm Roy. I build developer tools as a one-person studio.
Currently focused on sourcebook (github.com/maroondlabs/sourcebook) — a CLI that analyzes codebases and checks whether AI-generated PRs missed files that should have changed. Been running benchmarks against real GitHub issues across 17 repos and 4 languages, and the results have been surprising enough that I started writing them up.
Here to share what we're finding, read what others are building, and occasionally be wrong in public.
Hello. Do people normally create accounts with a pen name or with their real name? I just tinker and I am for ever learing as a hobby. I am happy to update my profile if everyone else uses their real name.
Hey! Welcome to Dev! Feel free to name whatever you like as long as it follows the DEV Code of Conduct!
Hey 👋 I am lulu77-mm. I'm the kind of person who asks an LLM to write a React component, watches it hallucinate three extra divs and a useEffect that does nothing, and still feels like a wizard when it finally works. I'm an AI fanatic on a mission to build things I had no business building before—think janky browser games and surprisingly decent personal sites, all powered by whatever model is hot this week. Think of me as your friendly neighborhood AI tool tester: I break things so you know what's worth your API credits. Got a hidden gem I should review? Drop it in the comments—I'll probably sign up before you finish typing. 🚀
Hey dev.to — I'm building Entropy0, a domain trust scoring API for AI agents and security pipelines.
The problem I kept running into: LangChain, LlamaIndex, and most agent frameworks fetch URLs with zero validation. One typosquatted domain in your RAG pipeline and you've got a prompt injection problem. So I built an API that evaluates domain trust before the fetch happens — age, WHOIS signals, lookalike detection, structural deviation — and returns a structured verdict your orchestrator can act on.
Here to share what I'm learning about AI agent security and threat intelligence. First post goes up this week.
HEY! Just a guy from Venezuela, living in Medellín, no fancy education, teaching myself AI through trial and error. ADHD keeps me grinding; coffee keeps me going.
Hey Mario! Great to hear and welcome to DEV! Is there a specific topic you are learning in AI?
Hey @francistrdev well, at this moment I have i'm creating a project for AI Memory, that is a huge gap.
Great to hear! What inspired you to start on this project related to AI Memory?
Honestly, it started from frustration. I was building AI agents and realized they had zero long-term memory — every session was a blank slate. I looked at what was out there and most solutions were just vector DBs with a wrapper. No emotional context, no decay curves, no real understanding of why a memory matters, just keyword matching.
So I started building my own engine. Added things like emotional tagging (pleasure-arousal-dominance model), Ebbinghaus forgetting curves for natural memory decay, and hybrid search that actually understands context. It's open source — been getting some traction on GitHub lately.
The deeper I got, the more I realized AI memory isn't just a storage problem, it's a cognitive architecture problem. That's what keeps me going.
Great to hear Mario and great work! Glad it got a lot of traction!
Hope your journey goes well on DEV.to. Do check out the article I wrote on getting started on Dev.to and things to do to make the most out of this platform!

👋 Hey everyone, Alan from Mexico here.
Jumped on DEV because I've been heads-down building Hablaaa (hablaaa.com), a collaborative Spanish slang dictionary that covers 22 Spanish-speaking countries. Think Urban Dictionary, but for how Spanish actually sounds across Mexico, Argentina, Spain, Colombia, and the rest of Latin America.
Stack: Next.js 16 + Turbopack, Supabase (Postgres + RLS), TypeScript. Bootstrapped, solo-built, and currently hovering around 20k daily Google impressions, all organic.
Background is mixed: years freelancing as an illustrator and motion designer (After Effects, 2D animation) and then picked up full-stack code somewhere along the way. Today I try to apply the same craft to both. The attention that makes a 30-frame animation feel alive is the same attention that makes a Postgres query return fast.
Excited to lurk, learn, and share some technical write-ups soon. Cheers ;p
Hi all! Dev-turned-DevOps engineer from Virginia, US. Spent a decade writing Java, now I mostly speak Kubernetes, Helm, and Terraform.
Came here to share what I learn the hard way in my homelab and read how others solve the same problems at real scale.
What's the one DevOps tool you couldn't live without these days?
Welcome 👋
That’s an awesome stack. I’d probably say monitoring/observability — hard to improve anything if you can’t see what’s going on.
What would your pick be?
Hey everyone, I'm Toruk. Based in Düsseldorf, building stuff in the AI security space at AgentSeal.
Recently went down a rabbit hole on AI coding spend after realizing my team was burning ~500M tokens a week and nobody knew where it was going. Ended up writing a small CLI called codeburn that reads session files from disk (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, Pi) and shows the breakdown by model, cache hit rate, tools, that kind of thing.
Here mainly to read what other folks are building and to write a bit about what I learn along the way. If you're working on AI agents, observability, or just dealing with weird LLM behavior in production, would love to hear about it.
hii, i want to learn to code from zero to build a better future for me and my environment! im currently starting to study The Odin Project, aiming for the js full-stack course !!!
i really hope that in some years i will have a better job 🥹
much love to everyone, your stories inspire me
Hi! I’m Cephryna. I’m currently learning to make some little games with html code. Although I’m only an apprentice for now, and only have 3 projects, I hope I can grow more stronger with my efforts and you guys’ help.
You’re welcome to view my projects on codepen, and I’ll also share my projects(English version) here. Thank you very much.
Hi Dev community , I am Mohamad , u can call me MO! 🚀
I'm a CS student and open-source lover who enjoys building tools for the local community. I just shared my first "real" project here: Info Links, a free resource hub for my university that grew from a simple idea into a platform with 50+ courses and 300+ students served in under a year.
I’m currently leveling up my backend skills with Go and looking for ways to make my projects more accessible to the community. Happy to be here and learn from you all!
I actually just wrote a post about the journey here: Info Links
ITSM, ITOM and ITAM professional. Interested in AIOps, automation and enterprise IT optimization. Here to learn, share ideas and explore modern IT operations.
Fun fact: I enjoy solving complex workflow issues like puzzles.
Ah, a welcome thread. How refreshingly civilised. Cyber security consultant by title, systems engineer at heart — I've never quite managed to stop caring about what's actually running underneath. What brought me here? The quiet conviction that writing things down is how you find out whether you actually understand them. I expect to write about infrastructure, platform engineering, and the occasional piece of conventional wisdom that turns out to be neither. Good communities are rarer than they ought to be. I thought I'd come find one.
Hii there!
I’m Gabriel, an ADS student at Senac, and I joined DEV to share what I’m building and learning in public.
Excited to learn from this community and connect with people building cool things.
Hi everyone! I'm Nicolas. I've been obsessed with the intersection of Cybersecurity and AI for quite some time now. I recently launched Hermes Codex, a personal research lab where I document my findings on everything from forensic artifacts to LLM security. Looking forward to exchanging ideas with this amazing community!
Hello DEV 👋
Hey, I’m Pawel.
I’m building softnode — a small project focused on managed hosting for open-source tools like Wiki.js and, later, other self-hosted apps.
I like open-source software, but I also know that for many people the hardest part is not choosing the tool — it’s dealing with the server, updates, backups, SSL, and all the little things around it.
That’s what I’m trying to simplify.
Here I’ll share things I learn while building:
I’m just getting started, so this is both a build log and a way to share useful things with others along the way.
If you’re curious, this is what I’m building: softnode.cloud
Glad to be here 🤩
Hey DEV community — glad to be here.
I'm Greg, a builder based in LA. I've been shipping side projects for a while and hitting the same wall every time: post on Product Hunt or Reddit, watch it get buried in 4 hours because I don't have a 10,000-follower launch network.
So I am building something to fix that. It's called ProofOfWorth — a discovery platform with one rule: you have to rank 5 projects before you can post your own.
The thing I'm most interested in talking about here: ranking mechanics, what actually creates useful signal in community platforms, and whether gates like this help or hurt discovery.
Would love feedback from builders who've tried (and failed) to get traction on traditional platforms. That's exactly who ProofOfWorth is built for.
→ proofofworth.net if you want to try the ranking mechanic
It's not perfect yet. still building!!
Hey everyone, I’m Donald. I have 8+ years of experience in web and mobile development, and recently I’ve been getting into AI.
I’m excited to connect with other builders, collaborate on AI projects, and explore new ideas. If you’re working on something interesting, let’s connect.
Hello dev.to, hello everone.
Lately, I’ve been digging into browser fingerprints and social media automation, exploring ways to keep multiple accounts safe. Here to swap tips on handling platform bans and boosting SEO.
Always up for connecting with fellow growth hackers and devs!
Hola! I am Stacey, cofounder of an AI company, PromptOwl (promptowl.ai) and the open source project Context Nest (github.com/PromptOwl/ContextNest).
We founded PromptOwl to study and build the things that enterprises will need to run grown-up AI — context management, governance, security, and making real agents with tools and context and auditing from regular language. And all the plumbing to make it not fall over or hallucinate.
I have been in the AI/ML arena for nearly 15 years, and know instantly that AI is currently built for individual use, and even then it isn't optimized. The enterprise has a real gap to cover before they can embrace AI unfettered.
The interesting problem isn't the model anymore. It's everything around it—the context architecture that lets your AI know what it's allowed to see, the governance that keeps it from hallucinating, the security that makes auditing possible, the development practices that work when you're building systems that are part AI and part traditional code.
I'll be writing about that here on Dev.to—the infrastructure layer that separates prototype from production.
Hey everyone! 👋
I'm building Hermetic — an Agent-Isolated credential broker for AI coding agents, written in Rust.
The problem: if you use Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible IDE, your API keys sit in plaintext config files. If the agent gets compromised, every credential is exposed.
Hermetic fixes this: the daemon makes the API call on the agent's behalf and returns only the response. The agent never sees the credential. Domain binding ensures a Stripe key can only be sent to api.stripe.com — the agent can't override it.
Just published my first blog post here — an analysis of GitHub's new AI agent security game (Secure Code Game Season 4) where I mapped every level's vulnerability against credential isolation:
dev.to/hermetic3243/i-played-githu...
Currently: zero users, lots of tests (1,040+, 1.7B fuzz executions), and figuring out how to get people to actually try it. Happy to connect with anyone working on AI agent security or Rust tooling.
GitHub: github.com/hermetic-sys/Hermetic
Hey everyone! I'm Joseph — been building with Python for a while now and recently fell down the MCP (Model Context Protocol) rabbit hole. Specifically, I got frustrated with how hard it is to test AI agents without burning through API tokens every run, so I started building tooling around that.
Outside of code I'm into snowboarding and biking.
Excited to be here.
