Hi all, moving over from Medium which isn’t what it was. I’m posting about software development, technical as well as, well, existential at this point. Building a bunch of OS things related to AI in public, like tether and context-lens. Hope to see some of you around.

Adaka Ankita

Hey everyone πŸ‘‹

I’m Ankita. A backend software engineer intentionally transitioning into AI engineering.

I’m currently diving into LLM production systems and documenting what I learn along the way not as an expert, but as an engineer trying to understand how to build reliable AI systems beyond just better prompts.

I recently published my first blog on control layers in production LLM systems (constraints, structured outputs, validation, randomness control).

Writing about what I’m learning forces me to understand it properly publishing it makes it real.

Here to learn, exchange ideas, and connect with others making a similar shift.

Fun fact: Hitting β€œpublish” on my first AI blog felt scarier than deploying production code πŸ˜…

Looking forward to learning with you all! πŸš€

Hello everyone πŸ™

I’m Rubasri, a passionate Salesforce Developer.

I joined DEV.to share my Salesforce learnings, the systems I build, and the struggles I face while designing real-world solutions. I believe documenting the journey helps me grow.

Thank you to the DEV.to team for providing this wonderful platform.

I’m currently working on building my first end-to-end Salesforce project from scratch and sharing it as a series.

Looking forward to learning from all of you and contributing wherever I can. Excited to be part of this community! πŸ‘‹βœ¨

Hi everyone! I'm Sarthak, owner of TelegramPanel.com. I spend most of my days thinking about Telegram automation and how to help creators scale their communities.

I'm here to learn from all the amazing developers in this space and keep up with new frontend trends. Right now, I’m focused on improving our API response times and playing around with some new React components for our platform.

Fun Fact: I probably spend more time debugging our API than I do actually using Telegram! πŸ˜‚

Looking forward to connecting and learning with you all!

After so many years of dreaming and idealizing myself in this world, I finally have the opportunity to learn and possibly dedicate my life to programming. I'm very excited about this. In my current situation, it won't be easy, and I know that, but in my short 22 years, I've always made sure to put my maximum effort and focus into what I'm passionate about, to the point of exceeding the average. I have a long road ahead, including possible setbacks, but I hope I can count on all of you when needed. Thank you so much for the work you do. btw im starting to learn from absolutely 0

Hey everyone, I'm akash and I work as a ecosystem lead at Starkware/Starknet blockchain.

What brings me here is, we've seen apps that have interest into blockchain and bitcoin but the learning curve is too steep. Hence our team has worked on a SDK to bring Bitcoin to any app in under minutes. So I would love to showcase and do blogs around it to make things easier for any founder/application to have bitcoin on their apps
