@Adidotdev I usually make all of my own tools, depending on what I want. to do. I. consider myself a "toolmaker" by trade. Happy to express something more specific.

@Suparious Which tool you use mostly

Developers — if you had to start from ZERO today… no network, no job, no shortcuts. What would you focus on FIRST?

@VadimStrizheus Garbage click-bait.

THIS IS INSANE!! Supermemory reached a 99% SOTA memory system. AI agents will now remember EVERYTHING p.s they’re open sourcing it in 11 days 👇

@NainsiDwiv50980 This is nothing new, and you can make this in 15mins with Claude Code.

Microsoft just changed the game 🤯 They open-sourced a tool that converts literally any file into clean markdown for LLMs in under 60 seconds. - Converts 10+ file formats out of the box. - Run via command line, Python API, or Docker. - Built-in MCP server for direct Claude Desktop integration. 100% open source. Link in comments 👇

@Adidotdev I trained my own AI and host it myself. Difficult to answer the question. As a DevOps engineer and Cloud Architect, AI let's me pretend to be a developer. So if AI is gone, it is back to business as usual for me.

Developers — brutal honesty: If AI disappeared tomorrow… how confident are you that you could still do your job at the same level? • 100% fine • Slightly slower • Struggling a lot • I’m finished 💀

@AlfinCodes BASIC

Developers be honest. In which language did you write your first "Hello World"?

@kaaaash____ In a monolithic architecture, you could probably get away with just using react, but when you want to scale, you may need to use nextjs. Nextjs is a routing framework supporting reactjs. It is good to use them together for their strengths and purposes.

Developers, What’s the actual difference between React.js and Next.js?

@codewithpri The path is never linear. I always use the best tools for whatever my objective is. I approach Grok with an app idea, and it shows me all the current open-source implementations that solve my objectives. I evaluate if I can clean up someone's project, or if I need to make my own.

Two types of coders: 1. Builds from scratch 2. Copies and adapts Which one are you? 🤔

@justbyte_ Honestly, I wish I had TypeScript when I was learning UI code. What it gives for a beginner is realtime feedback about their failures to write good code. Now there are crazy people writing backends on TypeScript, for this exact reason.

Be honest, which one is best for beginners??

@Shivam25mishra Yes. PDF books are fantastic for preparing the context of your AI agent to begin performing some useful work for you.

Do books still matter for learning programming today?

@Samaytwt Rust

If you had to code in only one language for the next 3 years, which one are you picking?

@TechByTaraa None of these are appropriate backend frameworks, other than SpringBoot. Node express is for local dev and PoC. FastAPI is not a production-grade way to host a python service. I never used Django, and i don't plan to ever learn it. Good breakdown: index.dev/blog/best-back…

As a dev, which backend framework do you prefer?

@md_kasif_uddin I don't like TensorFLow (2011) as it is an attempt to make machine learning a Google commodity. When pytorch emerged, it was refreshing to have a non-proprietary solution.

As a developer, which Python library is best for AI/ML? TensorFlow or PyTorch? 👀

Linux is free Docker is free Kubernetes is free Git is free GitHub is free GitHub Actions is free GitLab is free Python is free Node.js is free Go is free PostgreSQL is free MySQL is free MongoDB is free Redis is free Terraform is free Ansible is free Jenkins is free Prometheus is free Grafana is free NGINX is free Apache is free VS Code is free Postman is free Figma is free Vercel is free Netlify is free AWS is free tier GCP is free tier Azure is free tier ChatGPT is free Claude is free Gemini is free Perplexity is free Hugging Face is free Ollama is free Stable Diffusion is free TensorFlow is free PyTorch is free LangChain is free What’s stopping you from becoming the greatest engineer?

@Surendar__05 Elixir/Erlang then LISP.

Be honest guys ifyou could master one programming language instantly which one would it be?

Well, I tried to save a few $$ and bought 2 AMD 7900 XTX cards, just to find out that ROCm support was useless at best, and could never use the two GPUs together with one model. So I decided to build a whole "data layer" that could empower a small 4B model that I could run at full float (no quantizing) and have it appear to be intelligent. I can run this 4B model on an NVIDIA 3060 12GB GPU, but need a full kubernetes cluster to make it smart.

Just met a guy who stopped paying for Cursor, Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Codex & Perplexity Now he runs everything locally on his own machine No API limits No token costs No monthly subscriptions No data leaving his system Paid once for the hardware… and that’s it Feels like owning your own brain instead of renting one 😭 What kind of setup do you think makes this practical?

@ravikiran_dev7 None of those are CLI. So the question is flawed. We will no longer need to use code editors, in the near future. I Use Cursor, only for the autocomplete and to manage the commits made by other AI agents. I could probably use the OSS version of vscode or just a terminal.

Developers be honest. Which one was your first code editor?

@breckyunits The real answer: Use any laptop you can afford, to run Linux. That will be the best laptop for linux.

@crypt0x_0 What is the best laptop for linux? I'm on an M1 MBP.

i can't believe the last stage of using linux is using macos

@kaaaash____ That is actually totally rational as it is awesome. Use the best tools for the job(s). Kinda lame you only use the Macbook for spotify, but I'm sure you will come around. A service like Synergy, would let you share your mouse and keyboard across both.

How many programming languages do you actually know? no flexing, just honesty.

@PythonPr Difficult for which AI model?

Which programming language do you find most difficult to learn?
