Helio! I'm Ana. Happy to be here. I will be sharing some polished thoughts on here regarding Cybersecurity, Data Analysis, and Software Development. I am a first year CS student and I would like to get my name out there to land a job in cybersecurity after graduating. Fun fact is I like to read serious books in very unserious voices on YouTube. Thanks for reading. Toodles.

Hey everyone!
Just joined dev.to after lurking for way too long. I'm Sergei, been writing C++ since 1999 (yes, I'm old), currently based in Belgrade, Serbia.
What I do:

Co-authored userver.tech (async C++ framework)
Boost committer
Build things that need to go fast
Have an unhealthy obsession with template metaprogramming

What I'm currently hacking on:
SlugKit - a human-readable ID generator because I got frustrated with someone's personal-organization-N code. Turns out falling down performance rabbit holes is addictive.
When not coding:
Motorcycles, sailing, freediving, and recently started learning to DJ (bedroom level, don't get excited).
Looking forward to sharing some war stories from 25+ years of making compilers cry. First article coming soon about optimising from 300µs to sub-microsecond performance.
Cheers!

Hey folks, I’m new here. What’s one piece of advice you’d give to someone starting out in dev?

Do a little something everyday. It doesn't have to be the same thing. One day you can code, others design, others market, network, read, chill. But just do something that helps you progress everyday in your career. Best of luck.

Start simple, maybe one single project in react, flutter and not try to learn everything

I think you can start with something simple, but which resolve an issue maybe... a show tracker like trakt which save everything in the browser indexedDB?

A simple todolist, maybe kanban board in react always with drag and drop

Hello everyone! 👋

My name is Akash and I'm joining this community from the beautiful city of Pune, India. 🇮🇳

I've been immersed in the world of web and app development for over 11 years now. What started as a passion has been an incredible journey of continuous learning and building.

I'm excited to be here among fellow developers and hashnode enthusiasts. Recently, I channeled my experience into a hobby project that grew from a simple need into a full-fledged toolset. It's called DevUtilX (devutilx.com) a free, online toolkit for developers with 100+ handy utilities for things like code formatting, conversion, and validation.

As the person behind it, I wear many hats, from founder to developer to chief enthusiast! I'm really looking forward to learning from all of you, contributing to discussions where I can, and understanding how we can build better things, together.

Feel free to say hello or ask me anything! Happy to be here. 🚀

Hey, I'm a high-school student very close to graduating. I know a bit about low-level coding and cybersecurity and I can't wait to learn more about algorithms because my code is slower than internet explorer, not to mention a bit of everything else. recently, i made a small custom operating system because one of my friends told me i couldn't, so, yeah, thanks for reading

Hey everyone! I'm B, a final year undergrad in cse. This is me attempting to retrace my love for tech, and build my critical thinking via code. I'm going to log my attempt at programming problems here, and any suggestions/feedback are welcome!

👋 Hey everyone!

I'm an indie maker working on Volixta, a growing suite of WordPress plugins built for professionals.

Our main one, Volixta Booking, is an all-in-one system that handles staff, clients, payments, and scheduling — no extra addons needed.

I also maintain Volixta SSL & Security Headers, a free plugin that helps fix SSL and mixed content issues and adds modern security headers automatically.

If anyone here enjoys testing new WordPress tools, I’d love your feedback on it — especially from other devs or site owners. 😊

I’m always up for chats about WordPress performance, security, or plugin architecture.

Looking forward to connecting with you all! 🚀

Hi everyone! 👋

My name is Emilio, a Senior Software Engineer from Santiago, Chile with over 20 years of experience in backend and system architecture.

After a long career building complex systems for others, I've decided to start my most ambitious personal journey yet: learning real-time 3D graphics (Blender & Three.js) and building a complex interactive project from scratch. I've just launched my personal blog at emilioacevedo.dev to document the entire process—the good, the bad, and the buggy.

A fun fact about me: I believe the best way to stay young in tech is to always be a junior at something new.

Excited to be part of this community and learn from all of you!

Welcome to the community, Emilio. I agree - the more I learn, the more I realize the power of feeling like a junior in certain aspects.

Excited to see you around.

Jasec - kudos to you for entering the work of development. My best piece of advice: never worry about what you don't know because there is always more to learn. Focus on the problem in front of you, continuing to grow, and having a positive attitude and people will love working with you.

Cheers to you.
