TL;DR Welcome back to Dev Opportunity Radar. This is a weekly series where I share opportunities, resources, communities, and interesting finds that I come across, with the goal of helping people discover things they might otherwise miss. This week's edition features HackerRank Orchestrate, the Claude Campus Ambassador
We're back with another DEV Weekend Challenge, a short bite-sized challenge planned to fit into your weekend. We know the submission window is tight, so we've set the timing to ensure that no matter where you are in the world, you'll have the majority of your Saturday and Sunday to participate. Our theme for this weeke
TL;DR I recently finished a project from Udacity's Future AWS Agent Engineer Nanodegree Program, which I was able to take through the AWS AI & ML Scholarship. I built a customer support agent using Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, AgentCore Gateway, AWS Lambda, DynamoDB, and an FAQ. The agent had to understand whether a custo
Do you ever feel like the AI world has moved forward a little too quickly? You hear about self-healing systems and autonomous agents and start wondering whether we've already built Skynet or everyone around you is just messing with you. When someone mentions HITL or MCP, you no longer know whether it's some secret code
TL;DR It's been a while since I've done a collection (maybe month ago), but today let's look at 12 new and not-so-new projects that can really help you in development. They touch on different areas of development, but we will mainly talk about web development. If there's a project worth adding to the next collection, f
In an internet full of noise, infinite scrolls, and algorithmically generated content, finding genuinely great, thoughtful writing can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. We are introducing a new feature we hope will do a bit to make our community more community-oriented. Algorithms and engagement metrics h
My hot take is: Telling people that they have to build endlessly is very, very, very bad advice. If you have been remotely on LinkedIn over the last six months, you will have seen two different camps. The AI haters, the ones who don’t want to lay their eyes on your AI-generated code, article or post, and the AI defende
Hoi hoi!

September marks the official start of Preptember, a month dedicated to organizers planning local gatherings and getting ready for Hacktoberfest. This year, Hacktoberfest is entering a new chapter. We’re shifting away from open-source contributions and focusing on community-building and educating folks around open artif
Nobody chooses .NET. Not as a student, at least. You hear "backend" and the room splits into Spring Boot and Django camps — maybe Express if someone's feeling adventurous. .NET? That's the framework your seniors warned you about, the one companies use but colleges don't hype, and the one that shows up in job listings y
Three parts into this series, and if you'd asked me to define the word sitting underneath every single hook I'd taught you, I'm not sure I could have done it cleanly. That's not false modesty. Go back and read Parts 1 through 3. I used the word "Action" constantly. I never once stopped to say what one actually is. Part
Let me describe a moment you might recognize. You had an idea for an app. You didn't know how to build it — not really — but you opened an AI chat, described what you wanted, and it gave you working code. You ran it. It worked. It felt like magic, because it was: something you couldn't have written a month ago was runn
Building in public often means talking about shiny new features, but in mature production applications, the most critical engineering work is usually brownfield problem solving—iterating on top of years and years of code logic and/or production system decisions. On DEV (powered by the open-source Forem codebase), we ha
It takes me 2 hours. I am not joking. Usually, I don't have it "planned" before I started to write. Sometimes I do when it comes to technical related topics, but anything usually comes down to me jotting it down on dev.to and refining it from there. When it comes to writing anything but technical, I tend to have an ide
Building a multi-agent system sounds simple on a whiteboard. Give one agent a task, let another handle the next step, add a reviewer, connect a few tools, and you have an agentic workflow. It gets more complicated when those agents need to operate at the same time. A sequential workflow can force agents into a fixed or
After sixty-seven published posts here, the comments have become one of the best parts of the work. Some of you have run my code, found things I missed, challenged a claim, or brought me a project of your own. I also want to distinguish bots from real people. I know some of you by the exact problem we were discussing.

🦄 I really am trying to get back to writing more and decided to write up a quick, fun post about my arguments with all of my AI friends. It took me nearly a week to redesign my portfolio site and most of that time was spent frustrated that nothing was working. So here's the quick read on what went wrong and how I final
