Hello! Seems like a good platform to get the word out. 🙂

Elen Chen • Apr 1 • Edited

Hello from the Cloud!
I’m Elen Chen, and I’m thrilled to finally join the dev.to community.

I’m a Cloud Architect with a deep love for distributed systems and high-performance code. Most of my days are spent navigating the worlds of Rust and Kubernetes, trying to turn complex infrastructure into something elegant and scalable.

Why I’m here:

To share deep-dives into backend architecture.
To connect with fellow women in STEM and DevOps.
To learn from all the incredible perspectives in this community.

When I’m not debugging microservices, you can usually find me hunting for the perfect cup of coffee or tinkering with open-source projects.

Excited to learn and grow with you all! Let’s build something cool.

Hey Elen! Welcome to Dev.to! Glad you are here :)

I was wondering what Open Source Projects are you currently contributing to and if you have more than one, what's your favorite? In any case, welcome aboard!

Elen Chen • Apr 8

At the moment I am not working on a Open Source project. If you have some to suggest let me know 🙂

FrancisTRᴅᴇᴠ (っ◔◡◔)っ • Apr 9

Sounds good! You could contribute to Forem (what powers this platform Dev.to) :D

That is the only open source and my first one I contribute to and still am!

Edouard Pierre • Apr 1

Hello, everyone!

I’ve been learning full-stack development since last August as part of a career change.
I signed up to stay updated on the latest in development, and I can tell the community seems really cool and close-knit!

I’m really looking forward to starting my new life in web development!

Hey Edouard! Welcome to Dev.to! Hope you are well!

I am also a Full Stack Dev here and was wondering if you have a favorite stack? Regardless, hope your journey on Full Stack goes well along with Dev.to :D

Hey! Thank you!
Sorry I don’t have a favorite stack yet because i am a very Young apprentice for Now 😂

That's ok! Is there anything you are leaning towards?

I really enjoy learning to code and understanding how a web page is structured. I feel like I'm reading the Matrix, haha.

Hello Pierre, or Edouard, or both 🤣 Welcome ! How did you end up as full stack dev ?

Thanks ! 😊
Edouard is my first name, don’t worry it’s the story of my Life 😂
I want to become a full-stack developer because the web fascinates me, but until recently I never knew what I wanted to do with my life… even though both my parents worked in IT. I should have woken up to this sooner, because now that I’m taking a course, I know this is what I want to do!

Nice mate, are you french ?

Yep ! From Bourgogne 😁

Mdr tu dois etre le seul de ta region ahaha 🤣 T'as quelque part ou connect ?

Oui je n'ai pas l'impression qu'il y ai beaucoup de français !
J'ai whatsapp si tu veux !

Hey I'm also an aspiring Full-stack developer.. Nice to meet you and welcome to Dev.to!! What are the current challenges on your journey?..

Edouard Pierre • Apr 4

My challenges right now are balancing my family life, my current job, and my training as a developer 😅
And you ?

Yacham Duniya (CRAN3) • Apr 4

That sound actually sounds like a lot 😅, Well no family asides my parents and younger sibling but I'm pretty much balancing my training as a developer and school so I guess not that much of a struggle but not easy either , and sometimes I get in my head

entrenchedosx • Apr 1

I built a programming language at 15 — and it’s already fully usable (check my profile).

Congrats man and welcome to Dev.to :D

Welcome to DEV!

entrenchedosx • Apr 1

Thanks 😁

Dan Evans • Apr 2

Hey everyone! I'm Dan — I work in data infrastructure by day and have been pursuing my interest in AI application development on the side.

It started with building a multi-agent development framework — Specialized AI agents that review each other's work, run retrospectives, and capture decision history. What began as "let me organize my AI workflow" turned into something pretty robust. I've been testing it on an open app project (a Flutter/Dart journaling app) with a lot of success — it's genuinely changed how I build software.

I packaged the framework up as a reusable template and put it out there:

Framework overview (interactive slides): diviner-dojo.github.io/agent_frame...
How-to guide (interactive slides): diviner-dojo.github.io/agent_frame...
GitHub repo: github.com/Diviner-Dojo/agent_fram...

It's all under Diviner Dojo — my open-source home for this kind of work.

Mostly here to learn from what others are building and share what I've picked up. Happy to chat about AI-native dev workflows or anything in between.

Hey Dan! Great work and welcome to Dev.to. We are glad you are here! What makes you want to get into AI in particular? Regardless, welcome :D

Dan Evans • Apr 3

I was excited to be part of a new technology trend from the beginning. I work for a large company, and often we are way behind in technology. This was my opportunity to be part of something at the outset. Multi-agent coordination and engineering is new and exciting. One innovation in my framework is that it actually captures agent deliberation as artifacts in the project itself, so it becomes part of the projects memory, so you can trace decisions it makes
That and a bunch of other stuff make this an attractive framework for big companies like the one I work for. Audit traceability will be huge in this space.

Welcome to Dev.to Dan!! I have to say this is impressive.. I'd love to hear how you started your project because I'm trying to work on an IaaS and I'm currently working on the MVP what pointers would you give??

Dan Evans • Apr 3

Thanks! I would say the biggest thing is to spend more time planning up front. The projects I have done (some to come online soon) have benefited from tons of planning. My background is database architecture, so thinking and planning are my strong suit, amd that has worked out very well. My framework will get you started if you need a place to start.

Thanks! I'll be sure to check it out.. I guess I have to go back to the drawing board to set up plans ;)

Samuel Vieira • Apr 1

Hi everyone!

I’m a 2nd-period Systems Development student and I finally decided to create an account here. I’ve been looking for a place where I can surround myself with people who are as passionate about tech as I am, and DEV seems like the perfect spot.

Right now, I’m diving deep into:

🐍 Python development

🛡️ Cybersecurity fundamentals

I’m here to learn, document my progress, and meet people in the industry. Feel free to connect or drop some tips for a beginner!

Hey Samuel! Welcome to DEV! What is your favorite about System Development?

Hey Samuel ! Welcome 💪 Will be happy to connect too :)

PS you're pfp on github is SIUUUUUUUUU 🔥
