How dev.to became my comfortable corner of the internet (and my New Year resolution)
It has been a little over 10 years since I deleted my Facebook account. No long post. No explanation. I just logged out and never went back. I never joined Instagram either. Or Twitter. Or Snapchat. Or any other social networking platform. That always surprises people, but honestly, it never felt li
Build a Multi-Agent Telecom Support System with CopilotKit & LangGraph JS
Introduction Customer support is chaotic, and thinking about ways to automate it can be tricky. You never know what a customer will ask for, or when. To handle this, people usually rely on patterned automated systems that work based on a few conditions. If a request fits those conditions, it works
Hud: Runtime Code Sensor for Production-Safe AI Code
Today, every modern application is increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence. Production systems now use AI for their logic, but the AI that makes these systems can't really see what's happening when they're running. From what I've seen, most monitoring tools have a big problem. They don't give
Go Made Me Fast. Rust Made Me Care. AWS Made Me Pay.
For years, my cloud architecture felt… reasonable. Go services AWS infrastructure Containers everywhere A few Lambdas sprinkled on top Dashboards mostly green Deployments were fast. Engineers were productive. Nobody complained. Which, in retrospect, should have been my first red flag. Because in the
AI Code Review Tools That Actually Work with Azure DevOps 🧪
Hello Devs 👋 If you’re using Azure DevOps, you’ve probably noticed something: A lot of AI code review tools are clearly built with GitHub-first workflows in mind. They may say they support Azure DevOps, but most of the documentation and community experiences focus on GitHub, and integration depth v
I Read 25+ System Design Books, Here Are the 11 That Actually Made Me a Better Engineer
Disclosure: This post includes affiliate links; I may receive compensation if you purchase products or services from the different links provided in this article. Hello friends, System design and Software design are two important topic for any tech interviews and also two important skills for Softw
How I Stopped Rewriting My Code Every Time I Switched LLM Providers
You know that feeling when you've just finished migrating your entire codebase from GPT-4 to Claude — rewriting API calls, fixing response parsing, updating streaming logic — and then Google drops a new Gemini with benchmarks that make everything else look like a calculator from 1995? Yeah. I've bee
LiteLLM vs Bifrost: Comparing Python and Go for Production LLM Gateways
If you’re building with LLMs, you’ve probably noticed that the model isn’t your biggest constraint anymore. At small scale, latency feels unavoidable, and Python-based gateways like LiteLLM are usually fine. This is where comparing LiteLLM and Bifrost matters. LiteLLM is Python-first and optimized
The Incognito Mode Lie
You just did something dangerous. You opened ChatGPT. And you felt productive. But here's what you didn't know: That text is never going to die. The "Incognito" Delusion Laughable. Incognito mode hides your history from your browser. When you paste that PDF into Claude or ChatGPT, you're not usin
The Junior Developer is Extinct (And we are creating a disaster)
I have a confession to make. Five years ago, if I had a tedious task like writing unit tests for a legacy module or converting a JSON schema, I would assign it to a Junior Developer. It was boring work for me, but it was gold for them. It taught them the codebase, it taught them discipline, and it t
Postman Killed Free Team Collaboration — Here Are the Best Postman Alternatives
If you’re part of a small team, a study group, or an early-stage startup, you may have just discovered something unpleasant: Postman’s Free plan is now limited to a single user. That means free team collaboration shared collections, shared environments, shared workflows is gone unless you upgrade.
Your Microservices Aren’t Scalable. Your Database Is Just Crying.
When we first split our monolith into microservices, it felt like a victory. Smaller services. Independent deployments. Clean boundaries. We even had a diagram with boxes and arrows that made us feel like Netflix engineers. Then production traffic hit. The services scaled fine. And the database abso
Stop Installing Libraries: 10 Browser APIs That Already Solve Your Problems
The web platform is way more powerful than most developers realize — and every year it quietly gains new superpowers. Sometimes choosing a topic is harder than writing the article itself. When I thought about what to write this week, only two types of ideas kept comming to mind: bangers, or deep tec
Moltbook Is Not an AI Society
Moltbook has been circulating as an "AI-only social network" where autonomous agents post, argue, form beliefs, and evolve culture without humans in the loop. That description sounds exciting. It's also not accurate. This post isn't an attack on experimentation or agent frameworks. It's a reality ch
Why do you write?
A recognition There is a line by @sylwia-lask that stayed with me when I first read it. She wrote about how writing can feel easier than coding after a long day. I remember recognizing myself in that immediately. Not because coding is harder. But because writing asks something different from me. A
Your Side Project Didn’t Fail — It Just Reached Reality
When I started my side project, everything felt smooth. Then I tried to actually use it. That’s usually when the problems begin. At first, it was small stuff. Nothing was technically broken. Most side projects live forever in what I call demo mode. In demo mode: You are the only user You know exactl
How to Build a LangGraph Research Agent that Embeds Dynamic Charts via MCP Apps (CopilotKit & Tako)
AI research assistants are getting smarter, but turning that reasoning into something usable is still hard. Real research involves more than text: searching the web, exploring structured data, comparing sources, and gradually assembling a report. Doing that well requires state, tools, and UI -- not
The End of Database-Backed Workflow Engines: Building GraphRAG on Object Storage
GraphRAG sounds elegant in theory: build a knowledge graph from your documents, traverse it intelligently, and get better answers than vanilla RAG. Then you look at the compute requirements. To build a GraphRAG system, you need to: parse documents, chunk text, generate embeddings for every chunk, ex
Above the API: What Developers Contribute When AI Can Code
An AI researcher told me something that won't leave my head: "If a human cannot outperform or meaningfully guide a frontier model Now we have data. Anthropic's study with junior engineers shows: using AI But some AI users scored high. The difference? They used AI to learn, The question isn't "Can
Online Community Demise and why DEV is Different (at least a little bit, I hope)
I recently claimed that we might look back on the 2010s decade and early 2020 years as a golden age of the internet, collaboration and information exchange. The good old days when tools had evolved, users were still ambitious to share and collaborate online for free and knowledge didn't get lost in
The Secret Life of a Developer’s Coffee Mug ☕💻
You think you know your coffee mug. You don’t. That innocent ceramic cup sitting next to your keyboard is actually the unsung hero of coding. It’s seen things… terrible things. 1️⃣ Early Morning: The Motivator Before your first line of code, your mug is full of hot coffee—your lifeline. Without it:
I Can See My Success in My Mind’s Eye
I can see it clearly. My app is live, bug-free, and users are raving. Investors are calling. My GitHub repo has stars pouring in like confetti at a parade. My IDE never crashes, my build scripts run flawlessly, and every pull request I submit gets merged instantly. …Then I open my terminal. Reality
Do We Even Need Backend Developers Anymore?
Let’s ask the uncomfortable question out loud. In 2026, we have: Backend-as-a-Service platforms Serverless everything ORMs that write SQL you’ll never read AI that can scaffold an API before your coffee cools So… do we even need backend developers anymore? Or are we all just glorified npm install op
🔥I Built an Awwwards-Style Portfolio Using Antigravity🌀
This is a submission for the New Year, New You Portfolio Challenge Presented by Google AI Hello! 👋 I’m Kiran Naragund, a full-stack developer, open-source contributor, and someone who genuinely enjoys building things on the web. I like turning ideas (even unclear or messy ones) into usable, meaning
Should Junior Developers Still Learn JavaScript the Hard Way?
Let’s define “the hard way” first. Not: Watching a 6-hour tutorial at 1.5× speed Copy-pasting code until it works Asking AI to “fix this” without reading the output By the hard way, people usually mean: Vanilla JavaScript No frameworks at first Understanding what actually happens under the hood So…
