just joined this community to learn more about generative ai techniques.
Hey Oud! 👋🏻
Welcome to the community 🙌🏻
Welcome to DEV, Oud.
Thanks for the warm welcome, Ben!

Hi I’m Johnny, a software engineer with 20 years of experience. I have ADHD and am currently working in a tool, called Divergent Flow, for productivity. I joined to connect with other devs that may struggle with traditional systems like jira and outlook. I would love to connect and hear about how other neurodivergent devs stay productive!
Hey guy how's doing...
i just joined this community to learn about web development and software development. hope it I'll be fun because i enjoy a lot coding, creating crafting all the stuff attract me.
thanks and wish me happy journey.
Welcome to DEV, Shahrukh. Follow the WebDev tag to see web development in your feed.
Hey Shahrukh! 👋🏻
Welcome to the community 🙌🏻
hey
Hey Shahrukh! Welcome! There is a lot of great resources here for web and software development here! The community is awesome for me so far and wish you the same for your journey!
Welcome, everyone!! I hope you enjoy it here :)
Hey everyone 👋
Just joined.
I’m working mostly with backend + product thinking, and I’m interested in how real systems behave once they grow beyond “it works”.
Here to read, learn, and share notes from the messy middle of building things.
Glad to be here.
Welcome to DEV! 🙌🏻
If you’re new here, I’m really glad you found your way to this community. DEV is one of those rare places where curiosity, kindness, and learning actually coexist, and that’s what keeps me coming back.
I’m Hadil Ben Abdallah, a software engineer and a technical content writer who loves turning complex developer topics into clear, practical stories that actually help people build things. I learn a lot by reading others’ experiences here, and I strongly believe that sharing, even when you feel “not ready yet”, is how we grow fastest. 🔥
If you’re just starting out, my advice is simple:
🌟 Ask questions.
🌟Share what you’re learning.
🌟 Don’t compare your chapter 1 to someone else’s chapter 20.
Looking forward to learning with you all 💙
Hey! Just joined the community. I'm a new developer who loves building things with AI, using it as a coding partner for side projects has completely changed how I approach software development.
Currently deep into Rust and desktop app development, but always curious about what others are working on. Looking forward to learning from this community and sharing what I pick up along the way!
Hey Ola. Hope you are well. Welcome to the community!
What projects are you building with Rust by the way? I heard that Rust is on the rise to popularity now because of its runtime.
Again, welcome!
Thanks Francis!
I'm currently working on a text editor with markdown support + native mermaid diagrams rendering in rust, so mermaid.rs basically :P
Started the project because I wasn't happy with how Microsoft changed Notepad in Win11, and figured I'd try building what I actually wanted.
I'm not the strongest programmer, but I've developed a solid AI-assisted workflow that's been working well, the project has grown to include a bunch of features. Pretty happy with how far it's come!
Interestingly, Rust's strict compiler makes AI-assisted coding more reliable i think, mistakes get caught at compile time rather than runtime. That plus the improvements in newer models like Claude Opus 4.5 has made for a pretty smooth workflow.
Wow that great :D
I took a look at the text editor you are building on GitHub and it looks like it got traction (847 stars)! How did you get this much popularity before Dev.to? Is it marketing?
I would assume mistakes happen usually in compile time if it is that reliable (Unless the AI is poorly trained and getting the results that are not accurate. But would that be a runtime error though?).
Will check your project out in the future and maybe contribute! Mind as well start to be familiar with Rust. Awesome work!
most of it came from a single Hacker News post around the v0.2.0 release that did really well. HN can be unpredictable, but when a post lands at the right time, it drives a lot of visibility. I also shared it on a couple of Reddit communities (r/rust), but HN was definitely the main driver. No fancy marketing strategy, just sharing something I built and hoping it resonated with people.
Would love to have you! The codebase is in Rust with egui for the GUI. If you're new to Rust, it's a great way to learn, the compiler is strict but helpful. Feel free to check out the issues on GitHub or just poke around the code. Happy to help if you have questions!
Sounds good! I will let you know in the future if anything! (Also followed you on Dev.to to look forward to more updates! :D)
I checked out your notebook app on Github and it's really good, solves a lot of convenience issues I have with markdown writing apps and Mac's built in writing apps!
👋🏼
Hey DEV community!
I’m here to share my learning journey, mainly around Linux, especially Arch Linux, and open-source tools. I like documenting setups and experimenting with systems. Excited to be part of the community!
Welcome everyone!
hello everyone, I'm about as dumb as a box of rocks when it comes to tech, but I love the shit out of it. I don't know why but I do but I don't understand it lol how are you guys doing today? I am a 23 year army veteran and I am 100% disabled because I was blown up a few times and I live in Southern California for now. I'm picking them move to Missouri did I say I love tech but I don't understand it? If somebody can teach me just a little bit of tech you'd be the smartest person on this earth because I just don't understand it. I don't understand how to code I don't understand how to build stuff with code. I don't understand none of that so if y'all could teach me how to code that that would be fantastic. I look forward to chatting with each and everyone of you and maybe hopefully someday soon or later we can meet up because I plan on traveling a whole lot. Did I mention I don't know how to code I really don't well AnyWho great meeting you guys and I will post a picture of myself. Maybe if if you're lucky lol if I'm lucky I won't break the camera so thanks a lot guys and I will talk to you soon.
