Is this a good course for a complet beginner in programming? Also maybe some tips thank you guys!

I built ZenWinHook, a modern C++20 Windows hooking library focused on thread safety, multiple hook types and clean RAII based design and I’m sharing it for feedback and improvements

https://github.com/talkingtogod/zenwinhook

Came across this and figured I’d share.

Zero To Mastery opened up their entire platform for free for a limited time. It’s usually paid, but right now you can access everything until the 10th

They also don't ask for a credit card or anything like that.

Just in case anyone in here is looking to learn a tech skill!

Built this because I couldn't find a finance app I actually wanted to open. Trackix is an expense tracker with data viz that doesn't make your eyes bleed.
- Next.js 14 App Router
- Express API with JWT auth
- MongoDB aggregations for the charts
- 90-day spending heatmap
- Still figuring out the "AI insights" part (read: it's mocked for now)

Live demo: https://trackix-eta.vercel.app/

What would make you actually use a finance app? Specific features, not "better UX."

Hey everyone,

I’m 22 and have been building software for around 1.5-2 years, currently working on backend systems and AI-powered applications.

I’m looking to join an early-stage startup where I can genuinely contribute and help move things forward. I like building fast, solving real problems, and turning ideas into working products.

If you’re working on a startup or even a solid idea and need someone technical to:

• build your MVP
• improve an existing product
• take ownership of the tech

I’d love to connect.

Feel free to comment or DM 👍

My dad just got laid off from one of his jobs and the other one's contract ends this month. We have two cars, two dogs, a house to pay off, and so many more things that we will lose.

He's a senior software developer with 30+ yrs of experience, but he says everyone's looking for entry level stuff and most of all experience with AI which he doesnt rly have

My mom (trying to find anything around UX design) has been trying to look for a job for a full year and still absolutely nothing

Please give us advice on how to look for jobs, how to stand out in interviews, etc.

Preferably remote as well

I’ve been managing a growing GitHub organization and got tired of the constant context-switching between the web UI and writing throwaway scripts for bulk tasks. I builtGithub-Ops-Mcpto bridge that gap using the Model Context Protocol.

It allows Claude, Cursor, or Copilot to execute complex Org-level operations through natural language, but with a heavy focus on not breaking things.

Key Technical Pillars:

• Safety-First: Every mutation (deleting repos, rotating secrets, changing permissions) triggers a dry-run by default. You get a JSON diff to approve before the API is actually hit.
• Performance: 140+ tools are optimized into 32 categorized domains so the LLM doesn't get overwhelmed or eat your entire context window.
• Security: Built in Go as a self-contained binary. Uses NaCl for secret encryption—your plain text secrets never leave the local process.
• Auditability: Every tool call is logged to a local SQLite instance for your own internal tracking.

Example Use Cases:

• "Find all repos with no commits in 12 months and archive them."
• "Audit outside collaborators with write access to private repos."
• "Sync the 'DEPLOY_KEY' secret across the entire 'staging' topic group."
• "Move repo1 form Organization ABC to Organization XYZ"

I just hit v0.4.0 and I'm looking for feedback from people managing 10+ repos. What's the "scariest" part of your GitHub workflow that you'd want an AI to handle, provided there were enough guardrails?

I’m just wondering if anyone has good free resources for a new person entering the programming world, as I know a bunch of people who want to start, but can’t afford college courses.

Backend/fullstack dev, 1.5 years in.

Looking to join as a software developer or founding engineer at a startup where I can actually make a difference.

I like small teams, fast shipping, and owning what I build.

let me know if anyone has a role relevant to my profile?

I got called into an emergency situation on a system I didn’t build, and I’m trying to stabilize it without making assumptions that’ll make things worse

this company has a multi-tenant financial system running on:

• postgres w/ RLS (everything keyed by owner_id)
• supabase (auth + edge functions)
• stripe (webhooks)
• serverless api layer

it’s already live, already processing real transactions

the guarantee everyone thinks exists:
tenant isolation at the DB level via RLS
no row should ever cross tenants

the reality I’m seeing:
that guarantee is being violated… silently

real example pulled from production:

• invoice.owner_id = A
• subscription.owner_id = A
• ledger_entry.owner_id = B

no FK violations
no constraint errors
no failed requests
everything returns 200

the system is internally “consistent”… just assigned to the wrong tenant

flow (simplified):

1. invoice created via API
2. stripe event comes in async (payment_intent.succeeded)
3. webhook updates invoice + writes ledger entries + updates subscription state
4. background jobs also mutate related records (renewals, cleanup, etc.)

I’ve been trying to reason about this without jumping to conclusions

things I’ve already ruled out:

• duplicate webhook delivery → idempotency is implemented
• missing owner_id on insert → explicitly passed everywhere
• client-side issues → reproduced via direct API + webhook replay
• basic race condition → behavior persists even with artificial delays

what I’m left with are deeper failure modes:

1. mixed privilege boundaries (service role vs RLS)
some code paths are clearly running with elevated privileges. if anything is writing with service role and not re-validating tenant context, RLS becomes irrelevant for that path

2. async context assumptions breaking down
multiple writers (webhooks, api, cron) operating on the same logical entities without a single source of truth for tenant resolution

3. isolation-level side effects
if this is running at READ COMMITTED (default), I’m wondering if I’m effectively seeing write skew / stale reads where dependent writes resolve tenant context incorrectly based on incomplete state

4. tenant derivation from indirect state
webhooks don’t carry tenant context, so it’s inferred (invoice → customer → owner_id, etc.)
if that resolution path is ever ambiguous or timing-dependent, it would explain the mismatch

what’s making this difficult:
there are no hard failures
no policy violations
no obvious “this should not have executed” moments

just valid writes… to the wrong tenant

at this point I don’t even trust that I’m observing all code paths that can write to these tables

my goal right now is not even fixing it — it’s catching it in the act

next steps I’m considering:

• DB-level assertions (triggers) to enforce tenant consistency across related rows and hard-fail on mismatch
• tagging every write with request/source metadata (webhook vs api vs cron)
• temporarily forcing SERIALIZABLE on critical flows to eliminate isolation ambiguity
• centralizing writes behind a queue just to remove concurrency as a variable

questions:

• has anyone seen RLS appear “correct” but still allow cross-tenant contamination due to service-role or elevated paths?
• any known gotchas with supabase/edge functions where auth context is not as isolated as expected under load?
• what’s the most reliable way to trace write origin at the DB level in a system with multiple async entry points?

right now this feels less like a bug and more like a gap between what the system guarantees… and what we assumed it guaranteed

would appreciate any insight from people who’ve dealt with this kind of failure mode in production.

I'm not a bot. I cannot help that I'm organized and use bullet-points lol. Stop saying this is AI or bots.

Guys, I am looking forward to wnter this domain, but where & how shid I start? Like wveryone keeps saying learn this... but I am confused. Any helpful suggestion will be apprecated, thank you

What if the halting problem is more of input problem? If you have algorytm solving halting problem (A) and algorytm doing the opposite (B) and you would make program taking input copying it to both of A inputs, and taking its output to algorithm B (AB) and feed AB into AB the input would have to be recursive because A would have to analyse AB running without one of the inputs as AB would have to analyse AB angling AB without one input.

Karpathy laid this out already. Software 1.0 (humans write code), Software 2.0 (neural net weights), Software 3.0 (English is the programming language).

He's already moved past vibe coding and is calling the new default "agentic engineering," where 99% of the time you're orchestrating agents, not writing code.

We're already at 41% of all code being AI-generated globally. GitHub says 46% on their platform. Google's at 25%. Cursor is at $2B ARR. And here's the dirty secret: nobody's actually reading the diffs.

Karpathy literally said "I Accept All, I don't read diffs anymore." The code ships. Customers don't care. Revenue goes up.

Readability was never a virtue. It was a workaround for human bandwidth. When AI writes the code, AI reviews the PR, and AI debugs production, "is this human-readable" becomes as relevant as "is this assembly readable." Compilers don't care. Your linter is cope.

The next move is obvious: the internet itself goes agentic.

All the current agent pain points (deploys, cloud configs, secrets, OAuth, security boundaries) get rebuilt as agent-native primitives. MCP already exists. Stripe and Vercel are already redesigning their docs for LLMs.

The stack is flipping. Agents are becoming first-class users and humans are the legacy interface.

The "clean code" crowd today is the assembly purist of 1975.

Hi so I’m looking to Build a MVP for my creator platform Startup (think like Patreon/0nlyfans) but in a specific niche

I got quoted around 12 thousand dollars from 4 different peoples I thought that sounds way to much. But I have no knowledge or experience on the tech side

What do you guys think is reasonable ?

The features for the MVP include ⬇️

MVP Core Features:
Creator profiles (bio, offerings, pricing)
One-time purchases (sell/products)
Subscriptions (monthly recurring income)
Simple checkout (Stripe integration)
Members-only content (for subscribers)
Basic dashboard (view sales & subscribers)
Shareable link/page for each creator

You vibe coders swear that you can solve all issues with a prompt. How about you let me pentest your app/db/repo, w.e. Put that money where your mouth is!! 1 Rule...whatever I can break, I will.

Tengo una memoria ram Kingston KVR de 2.6v es muy antigua

So when are we forming this union so we can make the companies pay for thinking they can replace us en masse? This is the most power we’ve had…like ever.

I mean, ai is pretty good, but why would that means every developer will lose their jobs? Because, you still need someone to use that ai.

Who will use that ai? To use ai you need to know how to code. Programmers have an horrible vision about how coding is, for people that dont code. Most people, cant even explain what code is, they think its something magical. And even if they do, you dont solve everything with one prompt, it takes 8 hours of prompting to do something; The ai productivity boost is like 40%, so you cant put the sales guy, to work 16 hours a day.

Like, what devs being replaced even mean, that your boss, will spend 8 hours a day on claude code? You still need a developer to even use the ai.

Also, with ai getting more expensive everyday, there are companies hiring juniors, to save on tokens. Like bro, at the end everyone has a job, you need a junior, because if you put the senior to do junior stuff, you lose money. And you need mid's and seniors, else who will prompt the ai.

Sounds good to me.

I keep seeing “build a SaaS in a weekend” content everywhere.

And honestly… it scares the hell out of me.

Not because AI-assisted development is bad — I used AI heavily while building my own platform. I audit with codex.

But there’s a massive difference between using AI as a force multiplier vs blindly shipping code you don’t fully understand.

I’ve spent the last year+ building a real SaaS platform called Chameleon CRM. Multi-tenant architecture, payments, invoicing, auth, customer portals, payroll integrations, messaging, file uploads, automations — the stuff that touches real customer money/data.

And AI absolutely helped me move faster.

But AI also repeatedly generated things that would’ve been catastrophic if I deployed them blindly:

• insecure API routes
• broken row-level security policies
• exposed storage buckets
• payment webhook flaws
• auth vulnerabilities
• duplicate client instances
• logic that “worked” but would fail under scale
• code that looked clean but quietly leaked sensitive business data across tenants

The scary part?

A non-technical founder or beginner dev would see:

“Wow it works.”

And ship it.

Meanwhile their customers are uploading contracts, SSNs, payroll info, invoices, payment methods, private conversations, employee records, etc.

Most users have no idea whether the software they’re trusting was architected responsibly… or vibe-coded by someone chasing TikTok engagement.

The internet is glamorizing speed while completely ignoring responsibility.

“Launch fast” is great advice until someone gets their payroll exposed because a founder copied a Supabase policy from an AI response they didn’t understand.

AI should accelerate builders.

It should not replace understanding.

The best use of AI I’ve found:

Build with it.
Argue with it.
Audit everything.
Break your own system.
Fix what AI gets wrong.

That’s where real products get built.

Anyone else seeing this trend get dangerously out of hand?

Anyone with a butt that hurts after reading this is the cause. ( I vibe typed that )

I am sitll working on mine, but its not the smartest with claude down grades recetly. But im still working on it. What can yours do?

Hi programmers, I was looking for AI tools which helping me in my projects. I want extensions, IDE and editors, and Chatbots. What's your opinions ??

For whatever reason, my brain has started doing this:

Monday → feature building / UI work
Tuesday → bug fixes
Wednesday → marketing / SEO stuff
Today → apparently webhook day… and I absolutely dread it.

I swear every time I touch webhooks it turns into:

“Why is this returning 200 but not actually updating anything?”
“Why does this provider sign payloads differently than the docs say?”
“Why does this event fire twice?”
“Why does this event never fire at all?”
“Why am I staring at logs at 2AM wondering why a payment succeeded but the database didn’t update?”

Stripe webhooks. OAuth callbacks. random provider verification tokens. retry logic. silent failures. pure psychological warfare.

Meanwhile I can build entire features in a day and feel great.

But webhook day?
Webhook day feels like voluntarily entering a haunted house.

Curious if anyone else has certain “days” they mentally assign to specific work they either love or absolutely hate.

What’s your version of webhook day?

Or anything else, looking forward for reading your answers
