Welcome everyone to dev.to! Glad you are here! Hope you are having a great week so far! It's raining at the place I am at D:

To get started, I recommend reading this guide on making the most out of dev.to!

Make sure to check out other resources here: dev.to/help/community-resources


Feature Comment from last week thread!

Last week, I asked the community "What is the one project you are proud of? (I recommend creating a post about your project and sharing it in the comments!)" and here is one answer that stood out to me by @artemkozak where he built DockGraph!:


Question of the Week!

"What is the hardest bug that you have to encounter as a developer? Did you fix it?"

The comment will be featured on the next Welcome Thread!


Thanks for stopping by! Feel free to introduce yourself and welcome others by replying to at least 2 people! It would be greatly appreciated! :D

Any questions about DEV from a DEV Community Mod perspective? Leave a comment and come chat here!

Hi! Thanks for all the help and articles to get started!

For me the hardest bugs are rarely the most complex ones but the ones you can't reproduce consistently and only show up under very specific conditions 😠

Recently we had a race condition in production. It never showed up in development or QA, only under real load. The hardest part was proving it existed. We eventually traced it to concurrent updates hitting the same resource and fixed it with proper concurrency controls.

Hey Axel! It's always the one that is hard to prove. Once the bug is there, you have to reproduce it to the best of your ability. Sometimes the bug shows up and never shows up again lol.

Thanks for sharing and welcome to DEV! :D

Hi everyone! my name is Quang. I'm a machine learning engineer from Paris France.
Feel great to finally be here! Up until now I work mostly in startups. My specialization is in deep learning and machine learning/data engineering but my startup life has taught me well so I'm a bit many hats now =)).
Most recently I work on two projects: one is an AI canvas app named dim0.net (a bit like excalidraw combined with notion), the other is hexgate.ai which is about AI agent securization.
Besides coding I support Arsenal, Barca and play a bit of Age Of Empires.
Nice to meet everyone!

Hi everyone 👋

I'm Chinaemerem Nkwachukwu Nwachukwu — a cybersecurity engineer and founder based in Nigeria.

I build detection tooling and security infrastructure under Tinlance Limited, my AI and cybersecurity studio. My first article here covers ThreatFade, an entropy-based C2 detection engine I validated against real Merlin QUIC malware traffic. Before that I contributed Nigerian fintech credential detectors to Nuclei, TruffleHog, Semgrep, Gitleaks, and Slither — the gap in coverage for Paystack and Flutterwave patterns bothered me enough that I just fixed it.

I'm here to write about threat detection, building security products as a solo founder in Africa, and the actual engineering decisions that go into shipping real tools — not the sanitized version.

dev.to/nwachukwu_chinaemerem_f01/how-i-detected-merlin-quic-c2-traffic-using-entropy-and-z-scores-490k-packets-0-false-positives-mki

Looking forward to connecting with the security and open source folks here. If you're working on detection engineering, C2 analysis, or building SaaS from emerging markets, I'd love to talk.

Hey everyone, I’m Jack.

I’m working on AI developer tools and recently spending more time around LLM APIs, model routing, and practical AI app infrastructure.

I joined DEV to share small technical notes, learn from other builders, and write more consistently about what I’m building and testing.

Outside of work, I’m usually exploring new dev tools and trying to turn messy setup problems into simpler workflows. Happy to meet everyone here.

Glad to have something in common 😀

Hi everyone 👋🏼

I’m new to Dev.to and here to get a bit creative and see where it leads.

I’m a self-taught developer with years of experience in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, currently working in integrations and moving toward Developer Advocate roles.

Reach out if you're keen to build cool projects.

Hey everyone! I'm plasma 👋

I'm a developer advocate at TokenBay — we're building an API gateway so you don't have to juggle 6 different LLM provider keys, dashboards, and billing pages. Before this I was just another indie dev whose AI API bill randomly doubled one month and decided to do something about it lol.

Outside of work I'm kinda obsessed with workflow automation (been diving deep into n8n lately) and agent architectures. When I'm not staring at code, you'll find me on a tennis court taking my 3.5 rating way too seriously 🎾 or dragging myself up Mission Peak on weekends.

Been lurking on DEV for a while but finally decided to stop being a ghost and actually talk to people. What's everyone building right now? Anyone else out there juggling multiple LLM providers or is that just a me problem?

Happy to chat about APIs, agents, workflows, or anything else. XD ☕

You're right. Here:


Hi everyone! 👋

I'm Saylee — a Flutter developer from India who spends way too much time debugging audio/video call issues at 2 AM. When I'm not wrestling with WebRTC, I'm probably building something I'll never finish or arguing with my code.

Started my journey in 2023, currently building things that break in interesting ways, and writing about it so the next person doesn't have to learn the hard way.

Excited to be here! 🚀

Hi, everyone. This is Gwen- A engineer at Tokenbay. .

I work on building OpenAI-compatible gateways that help teams evaluate and switch between multiple LLM providers without rewriting their apps. In Dve.to , I’ll share practical engineering notes on routing, testing, cost/latency tradeoffs, and how to roll multi-model setups into production.

Nice to see you guys again!😀
