Hi, I'm starting #100daysofcode challenge today[I coded for a few days now, but today decided to join it.]
I want to see if I can code for 100 days, and will update hopefully often on here to hold myself accountable[even just to share what i'm learning]. I post something on here later.

Shahrouz Nikseresht • Dec 25

Welcome! Starting a 100 days challenge is a great way to build consistency. Looking forward to seeing what you share along the way. 🚀

Sleepy[Yasmin] • Dec 25

Thank you. Mostly it's gonna be sharing what I learned in the challenge.

👋 Hello Everyone!

Future<Success> main() async {
  print("Initializing Dipesh...");
  await learnFlutter(from: "every possible source 🌐");
  runApp(DipeshJourney());
}

My name is Dipesh,
and I’m currently on an exciting journey of learning Flutter from different sources — tutorials, blogs, videos, documentation, basically everywhere I can grow.

I discovered this platform while searching for solutions and ideas, and I found so many helpful blogs, concepts, and discussions that I finally decided to join the community myself

Treebird • Dec 25

Hi all, I'm new here, most of my time working on an ecosystem to improve and research cross platform and repo ai workflows, communication, orchastration and collaboration. I recently published MyceliuMail npm cli and MCP which is like an internal communication system between agents (can span across separate systems) but much more. Your invited to check out out in and tell me what you think in npmjs.com/package/myceliumail also check out the MCP, it allows your code agents to communicate with claude desktop! npmjs.com/package/myceliumail-mcp
Tell me what do you use it for! Around 758 have downloaded the mcp and 940 the cli tool, and I have no idea what and how is their experience! Would love to get some tips how to walk in this forest of open source and dev...

Rukhsana Naz • Dec 26

Great

Treebird • Dec 26

Thank you :)

Rukhsana Naz • Dec 25

Hi everyone, I’m Rukhsana Naz.
I recently joined DEV to learn, share, and improve my work around web workflows and productivity-based utility tools. I’m currently exploring how digital systems can simplify everyday tasks — including electricity bill tracking, automation, and online workflows for users.
I also enjoy working on SEO and content structure experiments, especially where tech and daily utility solutions meet. Looking forward to engaging with the community, learning from experienced developers here, and contributing where I can.
If you’re into productivity, automation ideas, or tool-building discussions — I’d love to connect.

Joy Ojukwu • Dec 30

Hi, I’m Joy Ojukwu, a Robotics Engineer passionate about intelligent systems, autonomy, and real-world robotics applications.

I’m starting a structured robotics learning & build challenge, where I design, implement, and document robotics projects end-to-end — from perception and control to system integration.

Alongside building, I enjoy technical writing and research-style publications, where I break down robotics concepts, experiments, and lessons learned for the engineering community.

My goal is to grow into a robotics engineer role by showcasing not just finished results, but how I think, design, debug, and improve robotic systems.

I’ll be sharing:

Robotics projects (ROS2, perception, control, autonomy)

Engineering write-ups & publications

Lessons from real implementation challenges

If you’re a fellow robotics engineer, researcher, or recruiter — welcome. Let’s build.

Alan Voren (PlayServ) • Dec 29

Hey, I have plastic dinosaurs hanging on my Christmas tree — and that's my favorite meme. You see, dinosaurs are made from oil, which is actually made from dinosaurs.

And I'm building PlayServ. PlayServ handles sync, scaling, and backend for games.

W. García • Dec 27

Hello all! I recently joined to this community to share with you an interesting idea of overcoming VBA clunky syntax with a modern scripting layer coded entirely in VBA. It feels like coding in javascript but a VBA runtime! Check the post in my profile.

Shahrouz Nikseresht • Dec 25

Welcome everyone! It’s great to see people from different backgrounds coming together to learn and share here. 👋🏾

Masum Billah • Dec 27

I'm Masum Billah, a fullstack developer just joined dev.to. Excited to be part of this amazing community!

Hi, I’m Erik 👋
Java/JVM developer interested in tooling, data formats, and long-term maintainability.
Recently started sharing some open-source work and learning from the community here.
Glad to be here!

Josh Hernandez • Dec 24

Hello everyone. I’m new to the community, and this is my first post, so I wanted to introduce myself.

I’m currently a freelance developer and a Computer Science graduate who provides technical analysis on Upwork. I have 3 years in this role. I’ve also worked with development teams on mobile applications and backend systems. In addition, I’ve participated in red‑team/blue‑team style security analysis for local businesses in the Chicagoland area.

I also tutor students in the CS and CSE programs at Colorado Technical

University, helping break down concepts for those who need a bit more clarity.
I look forward to sharing my experience and knowledge within the Dev community. We never stop learning, and some of the best learning experiences come from our peers.

Petar Liovic • Dec 27

Hey everyone!

I'm a full-stack dev and I also work as a Camunda BPM Architect & Modeler.
Coming from a background in formal process modeling, I’m obsessed with architectural rigor and 'Single Source of Truth' systems.

Lately, I’ve been going down a math rabbit hole (Axler's Linear Algebra Done Right) and decided to apply those concepts to React state.

I just published my first package, Basis - it’s an architectural auditor that treats state hooks as vectors to detect redundancy (dimension collapse). It’s basically my attempt to bring BPM-level discipline to the frontend using math.

Excited to be here and connect with anyone!

aj • Dec 27

Hello. I joined on recommendation of claude code. I'm a solo dev and I have a pretty good workflow. Some people might find it useful. I want to write a short post describing how I use claude code and other tools.

rx76d • Dec 25

Heyy,

I am new one here. Actually, the thing that got me here on dev.to is the fact that I wanted to be in a community with genuine devs.

Btw, I am not too good at programming, but I am always learning new things and I love contributing to open source. Feel free to reach out to me for any open source projects and I will always try my best.

Thanks!

新书发布甘遂《尊严的颓败》

甘遂《尊严的颓败》:一部融合哲思、生命体验与美学探索的当代杂文力作
近日,独立艺术家甘遂的全新杂文集《尊严的颓败》正式出版。这部凝聚作者二十余年思想沉淀的作品,以其深邃的哲思、真挚的情感与独特的艺术视角,为读者呈现了一幅关于人性、精神、生活与美学的立体图景。

《尊严的颓败》全书分为三辑,结构清晰,意蕴深远。第一辑《拾光叩问:〈幽栖手记〉》是全书的思想核心,围绕人性、精神、情感、命运等根本命题展开深刻探讨。作者以冷静而温暖的笔触,剖析现代人普遍面临的精神困境:在物质繁荣的表象下,是精神的荒芜与尊严的流失。书中引入物理学“反熵”概念,提出生命的意义在于以有序对抗混乱,而创造——无论是艺术创作还是日常劳作中的坚守——正是守护个人尊严的核心力量。面对命运的无常与存在的焦虑,作者倡导在虚无与希望之间,以创造与坚持完成对自我的救赎。

第二辑《时光切片:〈一段时光的生活随笔〉》则转向细腻的日常书写。从《宁静》《散步》中对独居生活的静观,到《劫后余生》里对暴力经历与人性冷暖的反思,再到《读〈美丽人生〉》中对爱与勇气的礼赞,作者将宏大的哲思落于具体的生命体验。45则《遐思札记》更是以碎片化的形式,触及艺术、孤独、欲望等多重主题,展现其敏锐的感知力与深刻的洞察。

第三辑《美学视角下的感知场域》系统阐述了作者的艺术主张。甘遂批判现代教育对感知力的扼杀,提出“生活美学是缓慢时光里的自由”,强调艺术的本质在于心灵对真实的逼近,而非功利的附庸。书中重点探讨“超意识形态艺术”,分析其模糊性、碎片性等特征,并结合自身在国画、雕塑领域的实践,深入解析“美的完整性”“艺术与自然的意味”等核心理念,为当代艺术创作提供了富有启发性的新方向。

《尊严的颓败》不仅是一部思想深邃的杂文集,更是一位实践者的生命之书。作者甘遂曾经历雕塑工厂关停等人生起伏,书中的文字既是其对社会现实的深刻观察,也是自我疗愈与精神沉淀的结晶。全书融合哲学、心理学、物理学等多领域知识,行文流畅,引经据典却不失温度,既有对资本逻辑操控下的社会评价体系的辛辣批判,也饱含对普通人困境的理解与共情。

在信息碎片化、节奏高速化的今天,《尊严的颓败》提醒我们放慢脚步,回归内心,在感知与创造中重建精神的秩序与生命的尊严。这是一本值得反复阅读、与之对话的书,它邀请每一位读者,在喧嚣时代中,共同探寻属于自己的精神家园。

Jeff Monteiro • Dec 28

Hello everyone!

Im Jeff, from Brazil, a Specialist Product Designer that likes to make a little bit of code, a little bit more of business and have one idea for each cup of coffee!

Now I'm working to develop some personal projects, but I will talk just about my favorite: a Capture the Flag game where I don't know which flag was generated and stored in a GCP Confidential Space enclave, converted into a hash using a set of factors to generate entropy, and then published on the blockchain as proof of existence and immutability to generate trust in anyone who wants to play.

Im here to make new friends, learn techs and help anyone with design!

John Brawner • Dec 28

Hey everyone!
Here to see what people are actually building with AI. What's working, what's breaking, and where I can help.

Former developer turned product manager. Now using that mix to get the most out of tools like Lovable.dev, n8n, and whatever else I can get my hands on.

Building in public as I go. Helps me think clearer and hopefully helps someone else along the way.

Looking forward to seeing what everyone is working on!

Pary • Dec 28

Mathias Tuomala • Dec 30

Hey everyone!
Here to see what everyone is up to - I'm really a sysadmin myself (there's still a dozen of us left), so my dev work is more to the tune of "fixing that odd machine in the corner nobody knows what it really does anymore"..

Happy New Year in advance you all 👋🏻

Romeo Gomez • Dec 26

Hello everyone! I am a total newbie and I just started this code learning journey a day after Christmas. This will be my 2026 goal and hoping that I will achieve or accomplish something by the end of next year; I will also update (and sometimes ask questions) on my NewbieDevDiary in my profile, so hopefully you can guide me.

Mate Technologies • Dec 28

👋 Hello everyone!

I’m excited to join this community to learn, share, and grow together. I’m particularly passionate about Python development – from building small scripts to creating desktop applications.

I love exploring ways to make coding practical and fun, whether it’s automating tasks, creating tools, or experimenting with GUIs. I hope to contribute helpful insights, learn from your experiences, and collaborate on interesting projects.

A fun fact about me: I enjoy turning small coding experiments into tools that actually make life easier, like mini file explorers or productivity scripts.

Looking forward to connecting, learning, and sharing with all of you! 🚀

Suresh Chaudhary • Dec 25

Hey there, I’m Suresh. I’m a marketing consultant living in India. I'm kicking off my developer journey right here, and I'm excited to dive in headfirst.

I've always been fascinated by tech, but life's kept me on the sidelines. No more excuses.

Looking forward to connecting with fellow devs.

Khurram ali khan • Dec 24

Hi everyone! 👋

I’m Khurram, a Software Architect currently working remotely. I’ve been in the game for about 18+ years across Management, Dev, and DevOps. Even after nearly two decades, my favorite place to be is still hunched over my laptop, deep in code!

Lately, I’ve been having a bit of an 'identity crisis' with AI. 😅 I love coding, but AI is starting to beat me at my own game! I recently built a project, mtkits.com, in just a few days, almost entirely through technical instructions to AI. It’s fascinating but also humbling—especially when AI gets hopelessly stuck on UI tasks, and I have to step in to 'save' it.

I’m here to share my experiences transitioning from old-school architecture to AI-assisted development. I just posted my first deep dive here about smashing a major migration in 2 days using Codex and GPT-5.1.

Looking forward to connecting with you all!

Javier Alejandro • Dec 27

Hi everyone!!

4484-ho • Dec 27

Hi everyone! 👋

I'm based in Tokyo, Japan. I’ve recently fallen in love with building things with a modern tech stack! 🚀

I’m also practicing my English by writing this post and starting a technical blog. Please bear with my English—I’m learning every day! 😂

Excited to be part of this community!

Muhammad Adil Darwesh • Dec 25

Hi Everyone, Adil here — I’m definitely in a new realm.

I’m not a dev, I’m a jeweler in Dubai for 20+ years. But over the last 11 months I’ve been coding, building, testing, and most importantly learning using agentic IDEs and other AI tools.

I’m genuinely fascinated by how people with no dev background can learn, code, and even design working tools and systems end-to-end.

I’m also surprised to even write this post — I’ve always been very introverted and lived in a small circle — but I feel what I’ve learned so far is worth sharing. And I know there’s a lot more to learn from this community too.

Looking forward to connecting, learning, and sharing more (I’m also working on a project to submit to a dev challenge soon).
