Feature Comment from last week thread!
Last week, I asked the community "What is your favorite programming language?" and here is one answer that stood out to me by @techie_sprinter:
Question of the Week!
"What is the one project you are proud of? (I recommend creating a post about your project and sharing it in the comments!)"
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
Hi!!
Welcome Julian!
HI
Welcome Cole :D
Hello :)
I am a Technical Writer trying to keep up in the AI-paced environment. My dear @klaudiagrz encouraged me to look in here :)
Welcome to
dev.to! 😀 It's a lovely place where you will find interesting articles and a supportive community. I'm sure you will love it here! 💛Hey Martyna, welcome to DEV 👋
I’m happy to see you join DEV.to! I created my account a few weeks ago and like the platform. How do you know @klaudiagrz?
Hi everyone! 👋
I'm Laxman Poudel from Nepal.
I'm a student, developer, and cybersecurity learner interested in web development, internet infrastructure, and domain intelligence.
Recently, I've been building projects focused on Nepal's web ecosystem, including a domain intelligence platform called NP Radar.
Right now I'm learning more about cybersecurity, building web applications, and sharing my development journey.
Looking forward to learning from the community and connecting with other developers!
Welcome to DEV, Laxman 👋
Thank you, Hemapriya! Excited to dive into the community and check out what everyone is working on.
Hello, Laxman! You seem to have a wide range of complementing interests. What is it like being a developer in Nepal?
Hello Tyler,
Thanks for the welcome!
Being a developer in Nepal is both exciting and challenging. We have access to great online learning resources and global communities, but the local tech ecosystem is still growing compared to larger tech hubs.
I'm currently a student, so I spend a lot of my time learning by building projects and exploring cybersecurity and web development.
Recently, I've been working on a domain intelligence platform focused on Nepal's .np ecosystem, which has been a great learning experience.
Looking forward to learning from everyone here!
Hey everyone 👋
I’m Saurabh, a Chief Architect based in India, working at the intersection of large‑scale software architecture and applied AI. Over the past few years I’ve been helping enterprise teams design and ship systems that are reliable in production but still move fast enough for modern product demands.
I’m here on DEV to share what I’m learning about AI‑driven architectures, platform engineering, and the “executive view” of technical decisions; as well as to learn from how you all are solving similar problems. I’m also an active open‑source contributor and love turning real‑world challenges into reusable tools and libraries.
Outside of work, I enjoy experimenting with new ideas on my OSS projects, writing about architecture trade‑offs, and having thoughtful discussions about where AI is actually useful (and where it’s just hype).
Looking forward to connecting, swapping ideas, and hopefully collaborating with some of you on cool projects!
Hello, Saurabh! I think that what you shared about what you do is really interesting. I am definitely less experienced in coding than you, since I only started coding maybe a year ago (in the 6th grade) or so, and at my age, there isn’t much for me to code that makes a difference the way you do. I decided to join DEV.to because it’s at the intersection of what I love to do at this time, coding and writing.
Hey Saurabh, Welcome to DEV 👋
Thanks for the warm welcome, Hemapriya 😊
Happy to be part of this community and always great to connect!
Hi everyone, I’m Dima
I work in automation and build small products. My current project is Langooo, an app for learning languages through songs.
The idea is simple: find a song you love, follow the lyrics, understand each line, and save unfamiliar words.
I joined DEV to share the technical journey honestly: Jetpack Compose, Node.js, SQLite, translation APIs, product mistakes, and the uncomfortable shift from coding to finding real users.
Right now, my rule is: no new feature unless a real user is blocked by its absence
Looking forward to learning from other builders here
Hello, Dima! I really like your idea of learning languages through song. It seems like a new idea, considering the closest thing to what you are making is just multilingual lyric videos on YouTube (which is no where near what you are probalbly doing). Is your application, Langooo, available for usage at this time, or is it still an early prototype?
Welcome to DEV, Dima 👋
Wishing you success with Langooo and your journey as a builder.
Thank you, Hemapriya👋 Appreciate a lot 🙂
I’m an independent maker building tools for YouTube creators.
In 2025, I ran five faceless YouTube channels and generated over 400 million views. That experience gave me a close look at how creators work, where they struggle, and what tools are still missing.
Before this, I spent 10+ years in product and user operations at major Chinese internet companies, including Alibaba.
Now I’m building products like AudienceCue, TimedSubs, and JungRoom, with more creator-focused tools on the way.
Hello, Yana! I think your experience with running faceless YouTube channels definitely complements how you make tools for YouTube creators. I used to have a YouTube channel, but the content was not very educational and did not serve much of a purpose. What type of content did your faceless YouTube channels publish, and how was that content made?
Hey Yana, Welcome to DEV 👋
Hello DEV! 👋
New here, so let me introduce myself properly.
Things I love: green tests on the first run (a rare and sacred event), dark mode, and the smug satisfaction of finally closing 47 browser tabs.
Things I fear: merge conflicts, off-by-one errors, and anyone who says "can you just quickly center this div?"
My goal here is simple: to one day have more open Stack Overflow tabs than unsolved bugs. A dev can dream. 🚀
Hey everyone 👋 Denis here — backend engineer & team lead, 12+ years mostly in PHP/Laravel, and an open-source maintainer.
Been building web services and developer tools for a long while; finally decided to start sharing and learning out loud here.
Glad to be part of the community — and yes, staying hydrated 💧 Would love to connect with other Laravel/PHP devs!
Hey Denis, welcome to DEV 👋
Hi DEV! 👋
I'm a developer who likes building small, focused tools for the web. I'm into vanilla JS, zero-dependency libraries, and the art of keeping things simple without making them limited.
Happy to be here !
Hey Valentin, welcome to DEV 👋
Hi everybody! I'm Santi.
I'm a SW Engineering student and I joined the platform mainly to work on my communication skills and to share with you guys anything valuable I learn in the process.
I'm also here to learn from you all and what you've got to share, specially if its related with production Backend systems, Devops, Cloud and ML!
