Goal: Create humanitarian coding projects

I am looking for a small group of people to make Christian coding content(3-4 people), like a programming studio. Examples include language learning of the Bible, video games in wholesome family friendly themes, IDEs, mods, game engine components, maybe geospatial work if you are inclined. I am an older 34 year old male and have been relentlessly studying Computer Science for 8 years, I am much better than someone who has been doing it 8 years.

I seek advanced programmers who are wholesome and either believe in the Christian content or can truly get behind it.

I can teach AI, how to read/write research papers, teamwork, but my main requirement is that you have actual background in Computer Science as without that you can't really do much.

I feel that is not an unreasonable request given there are plenty of CS majors who have not caught up to AI.

The way its going to work is we brainstorm good humanitarian projects and work together to create them one at a time as a hobby for our actual SWE jobs to keep up with the market.

You will have to pay for your own AI tokens though. I have Claude/ChatGPT Max plans. We can pool them(Yes there are ways to pool subscription plans) if either one of us runs out.

With the recent PHP security vulnerability making headlines, I'm wondering how much impact this could have on the PHP job market in the long run.

I'm currently working as a PHP developer, and with all the AI disruption already happening in IT, news like this makes me question the future of the tech stack even more.

Could this push companies towards other technologies, or is it just another security issue that will eventually get patched and forgotten?

Would love to hear from experienced PHP developers and people involved in hiring. Are you seeing any changes in demand for PHP developers? Is it still worth investing in PHP/Laravel, or should developers seriously start preparing to switch stacks?

I'm looking for a programmer who wants to work for me for free and expand their art to create a visual novel inspired by Beastars.

Someone builds an app over months by manually typing out code and googling stuff. Someone else vibe-codes the same app in a week. Is the first guy more respectable, or just dumb for not using current tools?

It’s great to be able to prompt for code creation. Does it massively flop? Yes. Would I spend less time figuring out these issues myself? Of course!

For instance I am currently having an agent upgrade a repo from commonJS to ESM. The agent is massively assuming stuff that causes MORE issues that I have the agent try to fix. Honestly I could do this work on my own faster as I have been working with this repo for years. It’s fun to see AI make the work longer because I can report back during standup. “Upgrading to ESM, AI agent ran into some issues that I am currently debugging”

Which is the truth and everyone will smile and node because I am using AI which everyone at my company is instructed to do. A lot of times it can be inefficient but I don’t care.

For personal projects, I watch every code change with scrutiny. I rarely run agents without a solid plan and code examples to approve as I truly care about my projects.

So I was gonna use AI to write this, but no one's probably gonna read it anyway, so screw it!

I just spent the last hour zombie-scrolling through different subreddits and forums looking for gigs and shit. It started with searching "$500" on Twitter, hoping to find some post that mentioned paying someone $500 for literally any task or gig. Lol. Lazy attempt, sure, but it wouldn't hurt to try, I thought.

Well, it did hurt, because that somehow spiralled into 30+ minutes of searching for open bounties on GitHub, watching hacking 101 videos on YouTube, and genuinely considering becoming a white-hat hacker just to collect some bounties.

All because I wanted to find a way to make some extra money so I could move out of my shitty apartment as soon as possible.

I'd ask for help, but these days, help doesn't really seem to be helping. Feels like everyone's deep in it, too.

"Become a web developer," they said. So I did. Learned the thing. Built things. Got a few interviews.

And now I'm in this weird position where AI has made it possible for me to build things I probably couldn't have built this quickly on my own, but somehow that makes me feel like even more of an impostor.

I've built and deployed actual projects. Not some half-assed thing running on localhost that only works when the stars align. Stuff that's hosted, tested, and actually does what it's supposed to do. I recently built a whole fucking e-commerce platform that works.

But then you get into interviews, and you're expected to explain every little thing, every decision, every line of code, like you personally hand-crafted the entire thing from scratch and can recite it in your sleep.

And I get it. I really do. You need to know what you're doing. You need to understand the code you're shipping. I'm not saying people should just blindly generate code and call themselves developers.

But there's a difference between not understanding what you've built and not being able to remember every single decision you made along the way. I might not remember every file Opus wrote or every technical decision we made together, but if something breaks, I can investigate it, understand what's going wrong, and work towards fixing it.

At least, I believe I can.

Apparently, that doesn't count for much.

The advice is always the same: go back, learn to do things the old-fashioned way, build everything from scratch, understand every little thing.

And maybe they're right. Maybe I'm just coping. But honestly, it feels shitty to be told to start from zero when I've already built something that works. Why should I have to pretend these tools don't exist? Why should I go back to centering divs by hand just to prove I deserve to call myself a developer?

I don't know, man. I'm just tired.

I want to make money. I want to get out of this apartment. I want to feel like all the time I've spent learning, building, and trying to figure things out is actually going somewhere.

Instead, here I am, searching "$500" on Twitter and contemplating a career in cybersecurity because apparently, that's where we're at now.

If this whole dev thing doesn't work out, I might just go back to baking. That shit was simpler. You mix the stuff, mould the stuff, throw it in the oven, and hope it doesn't burn more than 20%. Usually worked.

At least when a cake came out wrong, I didn't have to explain to someone why I'd chosen that particular frosting architecture.

Anyway, if you actually made it this far, shout-out to you. Seriously.

Not sure I'd have read all this myself.

I don't even know what I'm expecting from posting this. Maybe nothing. Maybe I just needed to get it out of my head.

If you're in a similar position, I'd genuinely like to hear how you're dealing with it. Not the usual "just keep grinding, bro" stuff. I mean, actually dealing with it.

Because right now, I'm just trying to figure out my next move.

Hi everyone, I recently released sapriSort, a Rust sorting library I’ve been working on. The idea grew from the need to sort large datasets while maximizing raw performance and sticking to a strict zero-allocation design to avoid memory overhead.

In early benchmarks on 32-bit data, the numbers show a clear advantage over standard Quicksort:

• Grouped datasets: 353ms vs 520ms (~32% faster) • Concentrated datasets: 316ms vs 707ms (~55% faster) • Boundary scenarios (Max90OnBlock): 319ms vs 757ms (~58% faster)

On 16-bit data, the speedup is even more drastic, ranging from 6x to 8x.

The project is open source (MIT). If you’d like to try it out, run a few benchmarks, or check out the code, I’d really appreciate any feedback or suggestions!

My question is Why we need to learn Html javascript and Css ??

Now Gemini AI has launched ai studio in that we can create a real working website without the coding knowledge, By just typing prompt,

Is learning html css Java script basics useful??

Do companies hire web developer in this AI era??

Coz ai is doing website

I am kind of screwed by this question

Hey everyone! I recently started a Discord server called Pull Request, and I'm looking for people who want to help build it into a solid coding community from the ground up.

The idea is simple: one place where you can get help with your code, find (or offer) dev work, and learn without feeling dumb for asking questions.

What's in it:

- Help forums: post your question with a language tag (Python, JS, C#, C++, Java, web, game dev, bots, and more) so it doesn't get buried in chat

- Beginner-friendly channels: no question is too basic

- Marketplace: post projects you need built, or get verified to offer your services, with clear rules and scam reporting

- Learning section: resources, coding challenges, and people who actually want to help you improve

- Show your project: share what you're building and get real feedback

A bit about me: I'm an HVAC tech with a background in computer science and game dev, so I know what it's like to learn this stuff on the side while working a full-time job. I wanted a server that's welcoming but still focused on actually getting better at coding.

It's still small, which means you can help shape what it becomes, and right now your questions will get answered fast.

Would love to see you there!

Hey devs and PMs,

I’m researching the long-term trade-offs of AI coding tools for my MBA thesis—specifically looking at whether heavy reliance on AI code generation leads to skill atrophy and unexpected late-stage project delays.

The survey is 100% anonymous and takes under 3 minutes (12 quick rating questions):

Appreciate your input and insights!

So the main idea is we make a decentralised email network which doesn't need any kind of fancy servers to run but can be ran on basic mobile phones. I am thinking to build the architecture like the satoshi nakamoto's bitcoin architecture where every phone becomes a personal node and can do p2p conversation I am looking for ppl truly intrested in this project.

Hey guys. I hope i can post this kind of content here and it doesnt ban me, so, I’ve been programming for a while now. I would say i’m pretty experienced at this point. I spent a lot of work and time on it and its obvious why i’m asking I’m genuinely scared. Will ai take over programming? I dont wanna solve ai’s code, i wanna CODE myself. Im really afraid that i waste all the time. So maybe i should stop and not go further. I really wanna become a developer but by the time i will do that its like 2035 cuz im mad young, and ai is good EVEN now and looking at how fast it evolved…will it kill programming? I wanna listen to some experienced guys who know what’s up.

This is just a question I came up with while thinking about different softwares out there. I was just wondering about how hard is it to recreate RivaTuner with all the sensors, ect... For monitoring your hardware while gaming.

this is my application.

advanced monitor to optimize your Linux Arch, Debian and Ubuntu.

totally free and access to the code.

unlicensed and free to use.

I would appreciate your stars if you find the program useful.

this is github and you can use and modify it if you want.

post data, you can use it as a challenge and translate it all to Windows. the files are not difficult.

it is made on: c++ and qml. no other external language.

Movies often portray developers as nerds who spend all their time coding, with little focus on fitness or diet.

For those working in software development, has staying physically fit helped your coding journey in terms of focus, productivity, or handling work stress?

Curious to hear your experiences.
