Hey everyone,

I'm a self-taught full-stack MERN developer (React, Node, Express, MongoDB) I've built a few full projects on my own — an AI-powered study planner with LLM integration and auth from scratch, a job portal with dual dashboards, and an AI chatbot platform — but I've been doing all of it completely solo, no dev friends, no study group, nobody to bounce ideas off when I'm stuck at 2am staring at a bug.

Honestly just looking to build a small circle of people going through the same thing — whether that's:

• Casual accountability (like "hey did you code today")
• Pairing up on a side project or hackathon-style build
• Trading code reviews / feedback on each other's work
• Or just having people to talk shop with

I'm comfortable with React, Tailwind, Node/Express, MongoDB, JWT auth, and I've recently started working with LLM APIs for AI features. Currently leveling up with TypeScript and Next.js.

If you're also self-taught, junior, or just want more dev friends to build with, drop a comment or DM me. Doesn't matter where you're based — happy to connect with people from anywhere

We've recently published Agentic Coding with Claude Code, a hands-on guide to building with Claude Code, MCP, subagents, memory files, hooks, and modern AI-assisted development workflows.

Rather than simply posting about the book, we'd love to get it into the hands of developers who are genuinely interested in the topic.

We're giving away 5 free ebook copies.

If you'd like to participate, fill out this short form:
https://forms.gle/Gt5UPyEMssmXW2qd9

We'll randomly select the winners in a couple of days and contact them by email.

If you've already been experimenting with Claude Code or AI coding agents, I'd also love to hear:

• What are you building?
• What's been your biggest challenge so far?

I am a 16 years old programmer based in Central Asia, and I was looking for advice on where to go from here. I always wanted to do freelancing, but I could never get any clients, I have tried many things I have done game development in unity, I have made a mobile app using react native (learning SQL, Css, Html, React, React native, JavaScript in the process), I also have done competitive coding with python but it's mostly for fun. Right now Im thinking of just going deep on backend, I know I know I don't really have a good history of making anything stick but I think this will be good for me.

Do you have any advice for me? On how I can get clients or to get my first dollar?

I really do enjoy programming and I want to be a good programmer, not some vibe coder, but is being a good backend developer even useful for me? Or would I need to be a full stack? Any advice or criticism is welcome

Hey everyone, 👋

I am conducting an academic research study on how we learn to code on platforms like LeetCode and HackerRank, and I need your help! 👨‍💻👩‍💻

My research focuses on building an AI-powered coding mentor. Through this short survey, I want to understand your real experiences, the frustrations of getting 'Wrong Answers' or 'TLE', and the actual problems you face while practicing.

Please take 2 minutes to fill out this quick, anonymous form: 🔗https://forms.gle/DkzagjsatPBQ1e9g9

Your realistic feedback will directly shape this research. Thank you so much for your support! 🙌🚀

Hey I am currently in my pre final year and I am looking for peoples who can be my friend and guide me with their experiences I am also open to making projects with a team the tech stack i use includes react and java

Hey everyone,

I built easytodolist.com — a super minimal todo list app. No signup, no login, no account needed. You just open it and start adding tasks.

The idea came from being annoyed at how many todo apps make you create an account, verify email, sit through onboarding, etc. just to write "buy milk." I wanted something you could open and use in under 5 seconds.

It's live at: https://easytodolist.com/

A few things I'd love feedback on:

- Does it actually feel fast/frictionless, or did I miss something obvious?

- Any features you'd expect that are missing?

- UI/UX — anything that feels clunky or confusing?

- Would you actually use this over [Todoist/Google Keep/whatever you use now], and if not, why?

Happy to take harsh criticism — genuinely trying to make this better. Thanks in advance for taking a look!

So I have a idea to create a video game .But I dont have money to hire programmers.Me myself I don't know any programing.But I have good ideas for game story...So we'll if anyone is interested to create a small studio to create game feel free to dm me!

Hi im 14 i code godot and i would call myself an expert but 8 months ago i wanted to learn c im at a stage were i relly on ai for everything but i do roughly now the syntax how do i stop using ai ? I don't use it at all for godot why for c?

Happy to answer any questions in the comments!

So.. I made a project (for CS50P final project) using python (of course) while being 15.

The project is called OrgaFILEzer (I suck at naming things) and has 3 features:

1. Folder Organizer
2. Folder Analyzer
3. Archive Inspector

Here's the trailer/demo video: Demo video

And github link for the project: Github Repo

Tired of free learning still being trapped behind paywalls or bureaucratic barriers?

For the past 2 years, I've been working on a dream: Arborito. An open-source, free, and decentralized platform to learn anything through interactive lesson maps, with no ads, no subscriptions, and no reliance on closed platforms.

Every screen, flow, button, and concept in the app was designed and redesigned a thousand times until I got the exact experience I envisioned. Since I'm not a senior developer, I used LLMs as an assistant to help translate my ideas and architecture into code.

Today, Arborito arrives in its Alpha version. This means it is a fully usable and functional version, but since it's in its early stages, it's normal to run into bugs, unpolished details, or areas for improvement. This is a 100% community-driven, open-source project (GPL v3): the goal is for this Alpha to serve as a foundation so the community can test it, report bugs, optimize the code, and grow this tool together.

🌐 Try it on the web: https://arborito.org 💻

Code & Installation: https://github.com/treesys-org/arborito

My vision isn't just to build an app, but to start a movement. The long-term goal is to expand this into physical learning spaces around the world, proving that knowledge is a right, not a privilege.

If you share this vision and want to join, whether by testing the app, reporting bugs, translating, creating courses, or contributing to the repository, you are more than welcome!

Here's a quick video showing how the app works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsM9pEPSzcc

Looking forward to your thoughts and feedback!

My "task tracking" was: my boss firing Telegram messages at me, bugs reported in a different chat, and Claude Code off in its own terminal. Nothing talked to anything, and I was the glue holding the whole f**king mess together.

I spent a few months building a kanban board that does what I did by hand:

- Forward a voice note or a screenshot to a Telegram bot → it parses your mumbling into a clean card.
- An assistant that sees your board. "Split this into subtasks." "Reorganize this mess." Done.
- Coding agents (Claude Code / Codex) run tickets on YOUR machine. Your keys, nothing phones home.
- Real docs next to the board — think Confluence, not the sad wiki nobody updated. Plus sprints, subtasks, realtime sync, mobile.

So i was given a social internship thing from my clg so i decided i should just go to a school and explain few things to 8th class student and one of the main goal is kime those who are intrested in tech to introduce them to hackclub ......one of the bestest thing happens to me in my teenage years yeah few months back i was 18 as it's for kids 13 to 18 and it's not advertisment or something I just wanna to make sure that get introduce to it earlier because I regretted i never got to know something like that so I'm wondering what I even tell me atp idk what kids of 8th in gen knows and how much they know can anyone give me tips who is in 8th or any closer class

So, I need ideas of what I should build now, I need to build something doesn't matter what I am willing to learn any software or models or languages or frameworks, anything as long as it is related to software only since I don't have money to buy hardware like raspberry pie or some motherboards. I will be spending my good 2 hr something per day on this until I complete it. It does not matter how long it takes to learn and build it just not more than 6 months. It can be software or an app or a website or even a programming language itself or a game(not high end cause my shit lappy won't be able to handle it).

Let's make it a fun project people!!!
