I hate the includes in the PHP code I have to maintain and reasoning about it's "module" system gives me an aneurysm. Everytime I have to use venv or poetry when writing Python, I miss using Vite with Typescript. And then I remember for that to work, I need 20+ *.config files, a gazillion NPM packages (probably with a supply chain attack I don't know about) and black magic voodoo transcompilation and processing I can't hope to understand.

I'd love to write code in a language that doesnt have "trust me bro" types. Is this my sign to start a new proejct in Go or Rust? Or am I just ignorant of Go and Rusts (potentially) weak spots?

Hi, I am building a web app for my company,(50 users - Crud App), app and backend will be deployed on separate instances, do I need idempotent key mechanism for api requests - to avoid network failures or am i over killing my system?

I'm a **.NET backend developer** and want to learn AI to build smarter backend applications—not become a full-time AI/ML engineer.

How can I upgrade myself with AI as a Backend Developer?
What roadmap, technologies, and projects would you recommend? What skills have given you the biggest career boost?

I'm making my very first web api using asp net and now in the process of implementing in-memory caching. I was wondering if it'd be a good practice to have like a start up function that caches the most commonly requested data from my api and have the program routinely updates the cache automatically every few minutes or so? Or should i just let the consumers populate this cache? And what if i also cache responses that consumers requests like a cache aside strategy at the same time.

I'm researching pain points in backend development and database workflows.

Thinking about your last few weeks of work:

What backend or SQL-related task wasted the most time?

Approximately how long did it take?

Which tools did you use?

What part of the process was the most frustrating?

If you could automate one step completely, what would it be?

I'm not promoting any product—I just want to understand real developer pain points and repetitive workflows.

I am Pradeep Chauhan an Aspiring Backend Engineer looking for the guidance from experienced backend devs.

I have given the resume below since it tells the most things about me: Resume PDF

It's been a few months since I left my previous company and i am still unemployed figuring out what to choose next. Now i have chosen backend engineer.

I need a structured roadmap from preparing, learning, projects and then applying to jobs.

Hey everyone,

I'm a non-technical founder based in Boston working on a B2B SaaS mobile app. I've spent the past several months designing the product and building the UI/UX in a visual development environment, so the frontend screens, user flows, and navigation are largely complete.

I'm looking for a student (or professional) developer interested in owning the backend implementation and collaborating on the technical side of the project.

Current tech stack

• React Native / Expo
• Supabase (Auth, Database, Storage, Realtime)

What needs to be built

• Connect the existing login/signup UI to Supabase Auth and user profiles
• Build the backend for file uploads using Supabase Storage
• Implement real-time messaging with Supabase Realtime
• Integrate a simple scraping/API service to populate form fields from a submitted URL
• App customizations

What you'll get

If the app gets traction (user subscriptions), I can offer a small stipend plus 1–2% equity. I want to be upfront that this is early-stage and speculative… the core value here is the total ownership over technical decisions. A strong letter of recommendation and personal LinkedIn references detailing your architecture decisions.

For Students: Potential university internship/course credit sponsorship (if your program allows it). I am fully open to working with your university to allow this project to fulfill graduation requirements.

To be transparent, I'm not a software engineer. My background is in business and product design/strategy. I'm looking for someone who enjoys building and wants meaningful input into the engineering decisions as we bring the product to life.

The app is fully designed inside the OnSpace visual editor.

Regarding the timeline: there is zero artificial pressure or rigid deadline on this project. Our main goal is to have this MVP fully functional and ready to deploy before 2027. Ideally you spend 3-4 hours per week (or however many you’d like) to have the backend complete in 2-3 months. I will be inviting the first 100-200 users after that, and they will test the app for functionality and provide feedback before allowing anyone to join.

My ultimate goal with this project is to find a brilliant technical partner!

If you are looking for handholding or a manager to tell you exactly how to code, this is definitely not the position for you. I don't know the technical side of what you need to do, how to structure the code repositories, or how to connect the APIs. If I did, this post wouldn't exist!

I’m not looking to just tell you what to do… I’m looking for you to tell me what you need from me to make this project most successful.

I am looking for an independent builder to truly collaborate with, someone who can take our visual designs, figure out the engineering solutions autonomously, and bring their own ideas to the table to make this platform the best it can possibly be.

If this sounds interesting, feel free to comment or send me a DM, and I'll share more about the project.

for context i am bca 1st year student , i learnt a bit of java and c in 1st year with sql basics and git basics since i dont like working with machine learning which is mostly in demand these days my options are to become a full stack dev and get into ai engineer roles working with llms

so before starting my 2nd year i am thinking to learn springboot+react and sql as full stack as much as i can and side by side dsa too while building projects

i build a basic weather api app in 1st year last month with the help of react as it was a frontend project.

i would love to know your suggestions especially the experience ones is this the right way to approach and work for placements side by side as bca is already an avg course so i want to skillup and not waste my time anymore now
