   It is a nice mini-blog, it's for free and such but

   As a mini-blog, it is a nice alternative for Medium to publish and share information about programming.

   However, the community and the organization are biased toward social justice (and they are open to it). You can read its Code of Conduct, it is so vague and politically leads (I prefer a term of service because it defines fair rules for everybody). So it alienates developers that we don't care about politics in pro of people that want to talk about any other topic such as sexuality, how women are unprivileged, and such. It even mandates to use inclusive language. Good grief.

   My main complaint is the quality of the community. It is not StackOverflow (so we don't want to ask for an answer here), and most of the top topics are clickbait, such as "how to become a rockstar developer in ... days", "100 tips to become a better programmer" (and it doesn't even talk about programming).

   Technically this "mini blog" site allows us to use markdown, and it is okay. However, the whole experience is really basic. Even the template is ugly.

• JavaScript still can't ship a full-stack module

  While developing Wasp, a JS full-stack framework, we keep researching other ecosystems (Rails, Laravel, Django, etc.) and finding ways how they figured out developer productivity. We kept finding these reusable legos, so we gave them a name: "full-stack modules". Let's define what we mean by that exactly. - Source: dev.to / 12 days ago

• What We're Seeing After 8,000 SEO Audits

  If you want to see where your site sits in this distribution, run an audit — it takes about 12 seconds. - Source: dev.to / 16 days ago

• How to Get Your First Tool Online

  Getting a first thing online is a milestone worth not reaching alone. A MLH hackathon is the perfect place to try: build, break, and deploy alongside other people over a weekend. And DEV is always here for the other parts, open all the time, where a new coder can post the project, ask for feedback, and read how someone else cleared the same hurdle. - Source: dev.to / 17 days ago

• AI slop and the content treadmill every developer is on

  Same idea. Four rewrites. Four character budgets. Four hashtag policies. Four mental models of an algorithm I do not control and cannot see. And that is before you reach Mastodon, Threads, Reddit, a newsletter, dev.to, and whatever launched this quarter. - Source: dev.to / 19 days ago

• The Security Holes AI Always Creates (And How to Spot Them)

  At Pythagora, we've built security reviews directly into the AI development process. Instead of requiring developers to manually catch these patterns, our platform identifies common security issues as code is generated and suggests fixes automatically. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago

• 5 Prompts That Make Any AI App More Secure

  At Pythagora, we build these security measures into the development process by default, rather than requiring separate prompts. Security shouldn't be an afterthought - it should be integrated from the first line of code. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago

• A Practical Guide to Debugging AI-Built Applications

  At Pythagora, we've seen too many promising AI-generated projects die because users couldn't understand what was going wrong when issues inevitably arose. That's why we built debugging capabilities directly into the development process:. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago

• Will Your AI Generated App Break in Production? 3 Ways to Test It

  At Pythagora, we've built our platform specifically to address these transition points where other AI tools break down. Instead of just generating code and leaving you stranded when issues arise, Pythagora provides:. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago

• How We Made Sure Big Companies Can’t Steal Our Code

  When we started building Pythagora in 2023., it was one of the first agentic systems where AI agents work together to create entire codebases - so, we wanted to share it with the world by showing and inspiring others to build complex systems. However, we knew we needed to protect our innovation from being exploited by larger companies. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago
