Hi,
I’m Abhishek, a software developer with expertise in .NET and Angular. I’ve worked on SaaS-based products such as CRM and HRMS solutions for clients, gaining experience in building practical software for real-world business needs.
Going forward, I want to explore and build more innovative and scalable SaaS products that solve real-world problems. I’m currently expanding my skills in AI, Generative AI, and RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), to integrate these technologies into SaaS products to create smarter, more advanced, and useful features.
I’m excited to share my learning, experiments, projects, and development journey with the community.
hi,
Hi charleseze322
Great
Hello
Hello everyone
I'm a teacher from Palestine who loves tech. I'm not a coder myself but i have a desire to learn and build apps that suit my own use cases. And since i can't really code and don't have the time to learn i've went down the ai coding route. I'm always ready for advice. Nice to meet you all .
Apps that suit your own use cases is the category where this actually works. Which project you pick first matters more than the coding, though. I have a home automation setup I built this way and have never read a line of its code - fine, because when it breaks I flip the switch by hand. Anything where a bad result costs me something, I still end up reading what the model wrote.
Start with something where a bug is only annoying. What are you building first?
I am building a site for wife that documents her 'antique' items for her 'store'. She needs something to track storage location and history. I hope to have this ready for her by the time I reach the upswing of awesome.
That sounds interesting , building a physical tracking app would be very helpful for her for sure. And the history function i think would be good , maybe create a tag system to make things easier to manage. Also a storage location history , in case something goes missing you will have information at every storage location it has ever been at.
I agree, having something personalized to your own use case and fits your vision is the best category where coding using ai works best. It doesn't have to be perfect and you can make it fit your use case perfectly if you give yourself enough time to actually use the app you're building and debug it. However, bugs can be hard to debug for noncoders like me and ai isn't at the stage where there won't be any bugs or errors in the outcome. I've made a small dictionary app where students can upload a pdf/doc/txt file to the app and it would auto translate every English word into Arabic with English meaning, synonyms and antonyms. I'm also building a personal media library app (but that's a pretty huge app I've been building for the past six months.). Honestly , speaking the biggest friction i have with coding using ai is the structures ai build the app on. It seems that ai always uses the easiest or shortest path which may not mean the best approach or structure to build an app on. I've faced this with the library app I'm making and right now I'm in the middle of redoing the structure of the app. Being a non-coder means i don't know the terms or the structures best suited for the apps i'm building and ai is doing a really bad job at giving advice in this regards. So I've learnt my lesson for future apps i plan to make, first research the structure to build upon and map things out correctly.
I'm also curious about automation , i haven't done it outside of the apps I've built so far. I've heard a lot of people talk about creating a workflow for coding which i haven't done yet. What's the a home automation setup you made ? And how did you build it ?
I don't really use automations for coding. Claude Code is a good level of automation for me out of the box. My monitoring are about monitoring, and some routines. My loop agent checks the logs of my apps in prod, collects user metrics, checks API budgets and other thing. Then it lets me know in Telegram.
Hi everyone! 👋
I'm Andrew, building PromptSpend, an open-source LLM cost calculator that tries to get the actual arithmetic right (compounding chat history, cache-write costs, promotional pricing that expires, that kind of thing), backed by a catalog that re-checks itself against vendors every morning.
Just published my first piece here, about the specific ways pricing calculators like mine get the number wrong, including one we got wrong ourselves, in public, on our own product.
Excited to be part of the community and see what everyone's building.
Publishing the one your own tool got wrong is rare. The gap I keep hitting sits upstream of the arithmetic though - you cannot know the output length before the call. I track cost per call on a side project that runs a lot of models, and on thinking models about 60% of billed output turns out to be reasoning, roughly a 2.5x multiplier over the visible answer, and it moves run to run.
So I stopped projecting single requests and bound the session instead: models are banded by effective output price, and the band decides how much can run. Does PromptSpend take a reasoning estimate from the user, or carry a per-model multiplier?
Good question, and the honest answer is user-supplied, not a per-model default. PromptSpend has a reasoning-multiplier field, defaults to 1x, that you set yourself — it bills output at round(output_tokens x multiplier). The model catalog only flags whether a model has hidden reasoning at all, a boolean, not how much; the multiplier isn't derived from anything because there's no published per-model figure to derive it from, and it swings run to run like you said. Your 2.5x number is a genuinely useful data point, closer to a real per-model default than what's in there today, which is just 1x until someone moves the slider.
PromptSpend sounds really useful, especially with how messy LLM pricing has become.
I really like that you're sharing where the calculator itself got things wrong too. That kind of transparency makes technical projects way more interesting to follow.
I'll definitely check it out 👀
Thanks, Abhiix0! Appreciate you reading through the calculator's own mistakes too — that was almost the part I cut, but it's the part that actually matters. Let me know if you hit anything weird once you try it.
Glad you kept that part in—it definitely gives great context. I’ll run some tests with it soon and let you know if anything pops up. Cheers!
Hello, everyone! 👋
I’m Asada Shinsaku, a software engineer who loves coding—sometimes more than my code loves compiling.
I’m really happy to be here. This community already feels warm and welcoming, and I’m looking forward to meeting you, seeing what you’re building, and sharing the occasional debugging headache.
I hope we can support one another, help our projects grow, and celebrate those rare, magical moments when everything works on the first try.
Thanks for having me. I’m excited to be part of the community!
Haha, "sometimes more than my code loves compiling" is painfully relatable 😂
Welcome! Looking forward to seeing what you're building too. Hopefully we get more of those magical "works on the first try" moments than debugging headaches here 🚀
Thank you for your kindness.
I hope we can discuss more work matters in the future.
Thank you once again.
Welcome! I'm new here too.
Thank you! ♥️
Hey Asada, welcome! Excited to see what you build and share here! 🙌
Hi, I'm Robert, and I'm a software engineer. I'm here to engage with the community around the stuff I'm prototyping - which is currently Tauric Studio, a Tiled-compatible map editing tool for game developers.
Hello, colleagues!
Glad to be part of this friendly community of enthusiasts.
I've already published an article here about my debugging tool for coding agents. I hope you found it useful. Giving agents X-ray vision—that was worth all the effort.
And now I have some big ideas. I've been searching for a long time and found a way to provide agents with information in the most convenient format. But that's the topic of the next article. I just finished it and am about to publish it. Enjoy!
Hey everyone! I'm Abrham from Ethiopia.
I'm a developer who loves building creative projects and learning new things.
Outside of coding, I'm a huge movie fan -- I love getting lost in a good story, discussing plot twists with friends, and discovering new perspectives.
I'm always up for a great conversation and love learning something new from every person I meet.
Nice to meet you all!
Hey everyone, I'm Peter. I'm building PDFHaul, a free browser-based PDF toolkit, solo.
Most of what I've been deep in lately is PDF parsing and table extraction, which turns out to be a much harder problem than it looks once you get past simple bordered tables. I recently shipped an MCP server for it too, bcrypt-hashed API keys, JWT, SSRF prevention, idempotency keys, the works, which taught me more about the edge cases of letting AI agents touch real files than I expected going in.
Happy to talk PDFs, document processing, MCP, or the general chaos of building something solo on nights and weekends. Looking forward to seeing what people here are working on.
Hi everyone! 👋
I'm a frontend developer working mainly with JavaScript.
Recently I've been building RollDate, an open-source, dependency-free JavaScript date picker focused on scroll-first interaction.

Looking forward to reading your posts and meeting other developers! 🚀
hey welcome
Hey guys! ~
I’m Valentine, a solo founder building MORPHOICES — an AI-powered product development system for turning scattered ideas into structured, launch-ready digital products.
What brought me here is a problem I keep running into while building: context gets lost as work moves between tools and stages.
Research lives somewhere.
Decisions end up in docs.
Implementation happens somewhere else.
Then a few weeks later, you’re trying to remember ''why'' you made a particular decision in the first place.
I’m exploring how AI can work inside a system that keeps those connections intact — from research and decisions through validation, planning, and execution.
I’m still learning a lot about product architecture, AI workflows, and what actually makes these systems useful in practice.
Looking forward to learning from everyone here and meeting other builders. 👋

Hey everyone!
I’m Syed, a developer who’s been getting more into AI lately, mostly by building side projects and figuring things out as I go. Joined Dev.to to learn from what others are building, share a few things along the way, and hopefully meet some cool people here✌️
Hi everyone! 👋
I'm Leoncio from the Philippines. I work with Python automation, web scraping, data pipelines, and AI-assisted workflows.
Recently, I've been building practical tools around web data extraction and business automation, including Apify Actors and small systems designed to reduce repetitive manual work. I'm especially interested in turning real-world workflows into reliable, maintainable software.
I'm here on DEV to keep learning, document what I discover while building, and learn from developers working on automation, AI, backend systems, and data engineering.
Looking forward to meeting fellow builders and sharing what I learn along the way! 🚀
Hi everyone,
I am Seth, a graduate student, and most of what I build is a re-implementation of something which already exists, since rebuilding systems seems to be the only reliable way that I have found to learn which parts of its design are actually load-bearing.
What I worked on most recently is a Kubernetes API server in Node that the real
kubectltalks to unmodified, a macOS browser (Swift, onWKWebView) that holds a memory budget you give it the way a game engine holds a frame budget, a web crawler that implements the B25 algorithm, and a benchmark that ranks language models on catching liars in a game of Mafia instead of on win rate.What keeps me interested is that the failure is never in the part I expect. I priced a hibernated browser tab at 32 KB in simulation; real WebKit charges 39 MB. My web crawler's rate limiter measured itself as enforcing a perfect five-second delay while the host on the other end was receiving a hundred requests at once. However, in both cases every component was correct and the composition was wrong, which is hard to catch from inside a single process.
I have been documenting most of my findings from my projects at sethwheeler.dev, and cross-posting my findings here. Glad to be here.
Hi everyone! 👋
I'm an engineer and independent researcher. I recently built a lightweight, local-first RSS reader to bypass Reddit's strict unauthenticated API rate limits (using a combined "hot" feed workaround).

Hey everyone 👋 I'm Alireza — I've been building full-stack web apps for about 8 years now, mostly PHP/Laravel on the backend with TypeScript/Next.js on the frontend. Over the years that's meant a pretty wide mix of work: enterprise software for Iran's Construction Engineering Organization, core contributions to Rahmam LMS, and running my own e-commerce store, Hoogallery, which I built from scratch and still operate.
Lately I've been on a bit of a deep-dive: rewriting Hoogallery's backend from Laravel to NestJS, not because it needed rewriting, but because I wanted to really understand NestJS properly, and there's no better way than rebuilding something real, business logic and all. I'll probably end up posting about that here — the architecture decisions, the things that don't translate cleanly between frameworks, that kind of thing.
Happy to be here, looking forward to seeing what everyone's building.
Hey everyone! I'm Aarush Karak — a high school software developer from Toronto, Canada, focused on spatial computing, AI, and full-stack development.

Hi everyone,
I'm Juraj, a solo developer based in Ireland. I spent the last few months building devdigest, a daily email digest that pulls from around 120 dev news sources and uses an LLM to filter and rank stories per subscriber, so you get 15 to 20 you actually care about instead of the firehose.
The part I did not expect to sink time into: I read the terms of service and robots.txt for every single source before adding it. That turned into my first post here, if anyone is curious what that landscape looks like across 120 publishers.
What I'm learning right now is the uncomfortable half of building something solo - shipping it is maybe 20% of the work, and getting anyone to look at it is the other 80%. Very much still figuring that one out.
Good to be here.
Hi everyone! 👋
I'm a Java backend developer with a strong interest in building practical, scalable software for real-world applications.
Recently, I've been focusing on:
I'm currently working on a few open-source projects around Java enterprise development and AI-powered applications.
One thing I'm especially interested in is exploring how AI can be integrated into traditional enterprise software in a practical way — not just demos, but tools and architectures that developers can actually build on.
I'm joining DEV because I want to learn from other developers, share what I'm building, and write about some of the technical decisions and lessons I encounter along the way.
My first technical article will be about how I structure RBAC in a Spring Boot application, including roles, permissions, and how to keep authorization logic maintainable as an application grows.
I'm looking forward to connecting with other developers interested in Java, Spring Boot, backend architecture, and AI. 🚀

Hey everyone, Carl here. I build fast, static content sites in vanilla PHP and syndicate them to Pinterest. I just open-sourced a small piece of that: syndikit-pin, a zero-dependency library that turns a photo and a title into a Pinterest pin. I'm here to share what I learn building in plain PHP with no frameworks, and to pick up tricks from all of you. Fun fact: I run my whole stack with no terminal, just a browser and cPanel, which forces some creative solutions. Glad to be aboard.
welcome Carl i hope u have a great time here
Hi DEV Community! I’m Wenlin, the operator of CoinTrailHub. I write beginner-friendly content about blockchain, stablecoins, wallet security, Web3 and tokenized real-world assets. Glad to be here and looking forward to learning from the community.
Hey everyone 👋 Happy to finally be here.
I'm an AI music creator — I spend most of my days turning text prompts and lyrics into songs with an AI music generator, then editing them into something I'd actually want to listen to. My background isn't traditional music production; I got here by being endlessly curious about what these tools can and can't do, and just... not stopping.
Why DEV.to? Honestly, I've been lurking for a while and kept noticing that the people here explain how things work, not just that they work. As someone who lives on the creative side of AI but keeps bumping into the technical side (prompt structure, audio formats, little automation scripts to save myself time), this feels like the right room to learn in — and eventually give back to.
One thing I find genuinely fascinating: how much a tiny change to a prompt can swing the whole mood of a track. "lofi, rainy night, 85 BPM" and "lofi, rainy night, 85 BPM, slightly out of tune" produce two completely different feelings. It's turned me into someone who takes notes on adjectives. I now have a document that is, unironically, just a curated list of moods.
Looking forward to reading, asking questions, and sharing what I learn along the way. Nice to meet you all!
Hi,

Hi everyone, I’m Rubén, based in Spain. I’m building Partle, an open catalog of products sold by physical hardware stores, with an API and an MCP server so AI assistants can search it.
Right now I’m facing the usual chicken-and-egg problem. I need users to make the site useful to sellers, but I also need sellers and their products to give users a reason to come.
My idea is to start by giving hardware shops free exposure through the catalog. If that helps bring in the first sellers, the users may follow. I’m here to learn from people who have built marketplaces or worked on practical AI and open data projects

Hi everyone! 👋
I’m new to the DEV Community and excited to dive in! Currently learning and working on expanding my coding skills. Looking forward to connecting with everyone and learning from all your experiences!
Hey everyone, I'm Nikita! Excited to finally join the community.
My background is a bit of an unconventional mix, but here we are: a degree in Robotics & Mechatronics, diving into AI fundamentals since 2014, and moving through ML, cognitive science, and Big Data along the way.
My strong suits are mind mapping and cross-disciplinary thinking—connecting dots between different fields. And yes, not gonna lie, I definitely embrace the infamous 'vibe coding' approach. Python for complex, large-scale; C++ for fast, reliable. :)
Been meaning to jump into an active community of curious builders for a while now, and finally pulled the trigger. Happy to be here!
Hey everyone — I'm a uni student from Pakistan, still learning programming (mostly Python right now), and I mostly build small projects for the fun of it, not because they're groundbreaking or anything.
Hi everyone, I’m Louis, A Book.
I’m a data engineer with a background in quantitative finance, where I worked on data infrastructure, backtesting, real-time trading systems, and large-scale data processing.
After spending a few years away from the industry, I’m now rebuilding my technical stack and moving increasingly toward AI and modern data engineering. I’m particularly interested in the intersection of data infrastructure, AI systems, and real-world applications.
I’ll mainly be writing about things I’m learning and thinking about along the way: data engineering, AI, software engineering, technology, and occasionally the broader effects of technology on work and society.
I’m less interested in writing “how to become an AI engineer in 30 days” posts and more interested in understanding how these systems actually work, where they fail, and what they mean for the people building and using them.
Looking forward to reading what others here are working on.

Hey everyone 👋 I'm Aditya. I joined DEV Community while participating in the 10 Days of AI Voice Agents — Voice for Bharat challenge by Murf AI. Over the past week, I've been building 'Kisan Vaani' — a multi-agent voice assistant to help Indian farmers get real-time mandi prices, weather forecasts, and expert crop disease advice in Hindi. Excited to learn and connect with all of you here.
Hi everyone 👋
Just joined — I'm a solo dev, and I just shipped my first real product: rasterly, a fast + cheap screenshot & PDF API (any URL → PNG / JPEG / PDF over one call). I went down a deep rabbit hole optimizing headless Chromium so a render costs cents instead of dollars, and honestly learned a ton doing it.
Excited to hang around here, learn from you all, and build in the open. If you've ever fought headless browsers in production, I'd love to swap war stories 🐱⚡

Hi all — Mihail, PHP/Laravel dev from Moldova.
Got here through one specific problem: scheduled jobs that stop running and tell nobody. No error, no log, everything green — until the day you need that backup. Ended up building a monitoring service around it, and now I mostly write about the failure modes I keep finding.
Here to read the #laravel and #devops tags. If you've ever found a dead cron job the hard way, I'd like to hear how.
Hello!
I am Maki. I got into the software development ever since the age of 10. I had multiple motivations back then - one of them being my father who was a hero to me. He was always able to repair the computer that I've broken by downloading free computer games, which was mind-blowing to me back then.
Another motivation was the fact that I loved playing computer games such as Heroes: Might & Magic III, WoW, etc. I also loved to watch the tv show Star Gate. I loved how they have managed to save the world by understanding a computer program minutes before disaster.
So I decided that I also want to save the world by helping others, as well as making my father proud and perhaps one day - become better. And it paid. The gift that was given to me by the universe started to pay off - persistence.
I spent years of studying on my own, creating projects, working for companies bigger and smaller and step by step becoming better in what I do.
At some point I have reached level where I can tell that I made by father proud and now - the other goal remains - make this world a better place.
Thank you!

Hi everyone! 👋
I’m Akira, an AI/ML Engineer based in California. I’ve been working in software engineering and machine learning for several years, with most of my recent work focused on LLM applications, generative AI, RAG, NLP, and building AI systems that actually make it into production.
I joined DEV because I want to learn from other developers, share some of the things I’ve learned along the way, and hopefully contribute to some interesting discussions.
I’m particularly interested in AI engineering, LLM infrastructure, model evaluation, AI agents, and the practical side of taking ML systems from an idea to something people can actually use.
Looking forward to meeting everyone here and reading what you’re building. Feel free to say hi! 🚀
Hey everyone! Excited to join the DEV Community! 👋
I'm Satyam (aka Finn), a Technical Support Engineer working with production systems, incident resolution, troubleshooting, and observability.
Most of my work has been around investigating real production issues — digging through logs, monitoring systems, APIs and SQL to understand what went wrong and get things back on track. I've worked extensively with tools like Splunk, Dynatrace, Datadog, Linux, Bash, Docker and SQL.
I'm joining DEV to learn from others, share some of what I've learned from working in production support and observability, and document the things I'm currently exploring along the way.
Looking forward to being part of the community! 🚀

Hi everyone! 👋
My name is Marcelo—a teenager passionate about how AI works and vibe coding. I’m currently working on a project called DeepSeek Code (I won't talk about it here, as this isn't the right place for it). I’m currently learning Machine Learning, and I like chewy food.
Hi everyone! I'm Valerii — I audit algorithmic trading bot code for a living: entry/exit logic, order management, risk handling, fee-honest backtests. Before offering this as a service I audited my own live bot the same way, and I've since filed 40+ public responsible-disclosure issues against open-source trading bots, looking for code that behaves differently than the README or the backtest claims it does. Just started sharing some of the recurring bug patterns here — glad to be part of the community!
Hi everyone! 👋
I’m Matsuken, a data scientist working on AI and machine learning at a Japanese technology company.
I recently joined DEV to share some of what I’ve learned and worked on in data science, machine learning, and AI.
I’ve just published a post explaining Q, K, and V in Transformer Self-Attention—one of the core mechanisms behind AI models like GPT that helps them determine which parts of the context are relevant—with a focus on intuition rather than just the equations.
Looking forward to learning from everyone here and sharing more posts. Nice to meet you all!
Hi everyone!
I'm Andre, a full-stack developer working mainly with React, Next.js, Tailwind, and Shadcn UI. Currently building PatientCare, a patient management system, and I just finished writing a two-book series on AI-assisted development — teaching the fundamentals first, then bringing AI tools into the workflow once there's something solid to judge them against.
Excited to be here, read what people are building, and join the conversation on how AI is actually changing (or not changing) the way we write code day to day.
Looking forward to being part of this community!

Hi, My names David Stewart, I'm a software developer. Big interest in Automation and AI, i've been an avid reader for years now, but have never signed up. only window shopped. though it was about time to create an account 💪🏽
Hey everyone!
I'm a software engineer, and I'm mainly interested in backend development. I work mostly with ASP.NET Core and Java/Spring Boot, and I'm currently learning Express.js and diving deeper into SQL.
I recently joined DEV to start sharing more of what I'm building and learning. My current project is a personal file drive, and I'm planning to document the process as I build it, while also trying to fight my tendency to start too many projects and never finish them.
Looking forward to discovering what everyone else is working on and learning from the community!
Hello, i am Mistrenkin. you can all call me Mist... i am a vtuber and an indie dev for games and software... i am working right now o my most important project ever an eye tracker mouse the calibrates itself even if you tilt your head in a weird angle, it will use any camera hard where that can be used on a pc.
Hey everyone 👋
I've lately build TrustScoreAgent, a free and open reputation layer so AI agents can check whether a service is reliable before they call it. I've been heads-down building it and I'm finally poking my head up to start writing here, mostly about the trust and reliability side of agents.
What brought me here: I read a lot more dev.to than I contribute, and I'd like to fix that. Keen to learn from how people here explain hard things simply.
Fun fact: most of my better design decisions happened on a walk or running, not at the keyboard.
Glad to be here.
Hi, I'm Inolas just starting out with dev.to. I found it randomly while searching something else about computers but i guess it's a place that i always wanted. I am learning Software Engineering and currently in my 3rd year and i am so excited to explore this crazy place, well that's it for now.
