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.

Got it! I wanna move to Germany and try to find job as a programmer. Can you tell me about the situation and jobs in your country? I am not from EU countries

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.

Hello! I'm excited to be here. I'm working on Macroscope - an understanding engine for your codebase. The product uses ASTs to build a graph-based model of your entire codebase and connects with tools like Linear and JIRA to synthesize, summarize, and answer what’s happening in your code. We just launched and are offering a 2wk free trial. Would love for you to try it out and give me any feedback :)

Is this Macroscope optimized for python AI model scripts published in Github, or on Huggingface? Please explain here how Macroscope would be used to evaluate a published Github repository )e.g. Deepseek) to summarize and explain the architecture of the LLM/ML model.

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?"
