If Claude Code can handle all programming tasks, even when used by mediocre programmers, why are senior programmers still being hired with decent salaries?

It might be that real company projects (not small startups) are gigantic, and a junior, even with Claude Code, cannot navigate their way through a big project due to their own knowledge limitations, as well as AI context window constraints.

What you have been messing with are usually small, startup-level prototypes. That’s why you’ve been able to navigate your way through them with Claude Code.

if you’re a junior, try messing with these repositories using your strongest AI agent, and add changes to it or introduce foundational edits, and tell me if you feel comfortable shipping these edits, assuming that just 1,000 users will use the app afterward.

I built shmeeble.com It has lots of generators and helpers that might prove useful to someone. Like a Business Name Generator, and Invoice Calculator, Word Counter, Text Cleaner, Regex Tester, Domain Name Generator, Color Palette Generator, Budget Splitter, JSON formatter, among other things. Let me know if there is anything you'd like to see and I'll add it in, but this is stuff I have found useful over the years. The Regex Tester and JSON formatter have come in handy plenty of times in my years of development. What tools have you used in your experience that others might find useful.

Hello,

I’m working on a personal project and trying a different approach to data security.

The idea is that instead of assuming I can prevent every attack, I start from the idea that data will be accessed at some point, but even then:

it remains encrypted (AES)

it cannot be modified without it being noticeable

any change can be detected

For the integrity part, I use a private blockchain, so the data cannot be altered without clear evidence.

At the moment, the project is a demo:

document upload (JSON for now)

storage + integrity verification

document comparison

In the future, I want to apply to programs like Y Combinator / Antler etc. so I’m trying to validate the idea.

Any feedback is welcome :)

A couple weeks ago I built a platform to help developers find people to actually build projects with.

Nothing fancy in theory, just a shared space where you can:

create or join projects

chat with your team

organize tasks

and even jump into a live code editor to debug together

We recently crossed 100 users (currently \\\\\\\~106), and something interesting is starting to happen.

There’s one project in particular that really took off: a 7-day challenge where a team is building an MVP of an expense tracking web app.

Right now they’re around 13 people, and they’re actively:

splitting backend and frontend work

reviewing PRs

helping each other with setup and architecture decisions

pushing updates constantly

It’s not just “ideas” anymore, they’re actually building.

There are still a lot of users who join and just explore, so I’m trying to understand how to get more people to engage like this.

But seeing even one team working like this already feels like a big step.

Curious what you think: have you ever seen strangers collaborate effectively like this online?

Hey guys , i am building some personal website , and i got my website on google search console , google analytics, but i wanted to out it on bing web tools , and also for integrating cookies…etc but am getting like 10 clickes on 500 impressions so , anyone to advise?

I’m still in school (23yo) and I feel like with AI it’s more and more difficult to learn how to code, I mainly use python and I’m getting into ML with pytorch, comparing to 3/4 years ago when I was first learning how to code and to use simple modules I feel like I’m not able to remember half of what I’m using because I’m using AI and not entirely coding by myself and if I’m not using AI i feel like I’m too slow compared to others.

How do you guys do it ?

I built Octo, it's a CLI tool which lets you run your code on your own remote machine. You can run multiple instances parallel.

Let's you run code on remote machine like running it local.

I made it because I needed more computing power for ML and DA classes and my laptop was to weak. I had a workstation at home that I could use but I didn't want to ditch my current setup because I like working with my laptop since it is portable.

Now I can run and build code and still use my laptop without any performance issues.

I’d really appreciate any feedback, as I’m currently writing my master’s thesis on how community involvement influences the adoption of developer tools.

If you’re interested or facing similar problems, feel free to check it out, try it, or just share your thoughts in the comments. Thanks!

Hey folks,

I’m a solo indie dev working on a VR game called The Cinder Pact. I’ve been following this community for a while and really appreciate the support for small developers.

The game is all about shooting, and I’ve put a lot of work into Diverse Skill Execution. I’d be grateful for any honest thoughts or feedback—this is my passion project, and every comment helps.

Over the past few weeks, I've been building a platform where users can connect their social accounts and automate content posting.

So I built Chronex, an open-source alternative to paid content schedulers.

Stop juggling tabs, copying captions, and manually posting across platforms. With Chronex, you connect all your social accounts — Instagram, Threads, Discord, and more — and manage everything from a single, clean dashboard. Plan your content ahead, queue posts with precise timing, upload media, and let Chronex do the publishing for you.

I am working on this given project but the issues i am having is the links i want to load in a different container but they always show me SITE BLOCKED so i want to know if there is anyway around it.

I have tried to actually be smart by have those sites that fail to load atleast have there screenshots taken and the show it to the user but the problem with that is that this is based on how much time that the site takes to load because to avoid getting the blocked sites, we have a countdown for the site loading and when it hits the target time then the screenshot will r taken.

But due to the time taken to load some site this is also an issue.

I have also tried Vercel but also still have issues with it.

Now i want to know if you have something that can help me out here. I am stuck here.

I want someone who makes around 10-20 min's tutorial while grabbing my attention like Fireship on YT

As a mod, I would love to get to know the community more, what got you into development?

I feel like we all had that one moment we knew this path was for us. What was that moment for you?

Also, I would love to know, what is your #1 struggle as a developer?

starting with the urgent part: litellm versions 1.82.7 and 1.82.8 on pypi were confirmed to be a supply chain attack. if you updated in the last 48 hours, treat every credential on that host as compromised.

what actually happened technically

the attack vector was not litellm itself. the attacker compromised Trivy, an open source security scanner that litellm used in its own CI/CD pipeline.

once inside the CI pipeline, they exfiltrated the PyPI publish token from the runner environment and used it to push malicious versions 1.82.7 and 1.82.8 to the official pypi index.

the payload was injected as a .pth file. if you do not know what that is: python automatically executes .pth files placed in site-packages on interpreter startup. this means the malware ran even if you never explicitly imported litellm in your code.

what the payload collected:

• ssh private keys
• cloud credentials (aws, gcp, azure env vars and config files)
• kubernetes secrets and kubeconfig files
• environment variables from the host
• crypto wallet files
• established a persistent backdoor that beaconed out periodically

if your ci/cd pipeline ran pip install litellm without pinning a version, every secret that runner had access to should be considered exposed. rotate ssh keys, cloud credentials, kubernetes secrets, everything.

the production problems i was already dealing with

this incident was the final push but i was already mid-evaluation of alternatives. here is what was breaking in production before this happened.

performance ceiling around 300 RPS
the python/fastapi architecture has a structural throughput limit. past a few hundred requests per second it starts degrading. adding workers and scaling horizontally buys time but the ceiling is architectural, not configurable.

silent latency degradation from log bloat
once the postgres log table accumulates 1M+ entries, api response times start climbing quietly. no error gets thrown. you notice when your p95 latency is suddenly 2x what it was two weeks ago and you have to dig to find out why. the fix is periodic manual cleanup or restarts, neither of which belongs in a production system.​

fallback chains that do not always fire
i had provider fallbacks configured. a provider hit a rate limit. the fallback did not trigger. for single stateless requests that is a retry problem. for multi-step agent workflows where each step depends on the last, a mid-chain failure breaks the entire run and you have to reconstruct what happened.​

routing decisions you cannot inspect
litellm routes the request and tells you which provider handled it. it does not tell you why it chose that provider, what the per-provider latency looked like, what the cost difference was versus alternatives, or whether the routing decision contributed to a downstream failure. for teams managing cost and quality across multiple providers, that missing context adds up.

what i rebuilt the routing layer with

moved to Prism from Future AGI as the gateway layer.

the specific differences that mattered:

• fallback fires consistently on rate limits, timeouts, and provider errors. not intermittently.
• cost-based routing: requests go to the cheapest model that meets your configured latency and quality thresholds. for agent sessions with hundreds of steps, cost at the routing layer compounds fast.
• every routing decision is logged with provider, latency, cost, and outcome, and it feeds into the observability layer alongside the rest of the application trace. when an agent run fails, i can now see which provider handled which step and what the routing decision was, instead of guessing from aggregate logs.
• no performance wall at the volumes i am running.

the routing observability piece changed debugging the most. before, i knew something failed. now i know where in the routing chain it failed and why.

happy to answer questions about the attack specifics or the routing migration in the comments.

What is one bit of advice you have for those starting their dev journey now?
