Hey everyone! š I'm Ashan Dev, an aspiring full-stack developer from Pakistan šµš° currently studying at APTECH. I found my way here because I'm always looking to connect with other devs and level up my skills.
I work with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Next.js, Node.js, and Firebase ā basically anything web. I'm currently deep into building web apps and exploring AI integrations on the side.
Fun fact: I built a GitHub PR automation tool that can create thousands of pull requests using parallel processing ā because why do manually what you can automate? š
Always excited to learn, build, and share. Looking forward to being part of this community!
Hey Ashan! Welcome to Dev.to! Hope you are well!
Building a GitHub PR automation tool is quite impressive as @rubasri_srikanthan mentioned. How did you build it and how long did it took you?
Regardless, hope your journey goes well on Dev.to!
Hey, thanks so much for the warm welcome! š
So the tool is essentially a Python automation framework that interfaces with the GitHub CLI and REST API. The core idea was to automate the full PR lifecycle creating branches, committing a small change, pushing, opening the PR, and then auto-merging it all in a loop.
The initial working version took about a weekend. The high-performance async rewrite with proxy rotation and webhook notifications probably added another few days on top of that. So roughly 1ā2 weeks total from idea to the polished version you see now.
It was a great way to learn GitHub's API quirks in depth!
Welcome to DEV.to, Ashan! Your GitHub PR automation tool sounds impressiveāexcited to see what else youāre building.
Thank you so much for the kind words ā it genuinely means a lot
There's definitely more in the pipeline, so stay tuned ā exciting things are coming! š
If you want to follow along with what I'm building, feel free to drop a ā on the repo and follow me on GitHub (@itxashancode) ā it really helps and keeps me motivated to keep shipping! š

Wellcome Ashan
cool
Welcome welcome folks, great to have you.
If you're looking for a good first thing to do, we recommend finding a helpful post and leave a "thank you" comment, or ask the author a question. It's always appreciated.
welcome!
Hey all, I'm Kaiav Nihalani, a student developer. I came to try and get more involved in open source projects and show some of my own, like Webprobe. I work a lot on web development, but also on AI and reinforcement learning
Hey Kaiav! Welcome to Dev.to! Hope you are well!
We share similarities when it comes to seeking open source and learning AI. I do recommend this post by @iamovi on "i built a social platform where everything vanishes after 24 hours". Might be a good start to Open Source.
In any case, welcome aboard and hope your journey goes well for you here :D
š Hello DEV ā DevOps, Homelabs, and Building a Startup in Public
Hey everyone!
My name is Jonasz and I want to share some insight of how I build my External DevOps startup. Iām a DevOps / Cloud Engineer who spends unhealthy amount of time experimenting with things like:
Lately Iāve started documenting everything publicly. Iām working on a small YouTube channel where I share things like:
But I also want to turn a lot of those ideas into written posts here on DEV. Sometimes a concept just works better in text, especially when you want to walk through architecture or explain how something works step by step.
Some topics Iām planning to write about soon:
If youāre into infrastructure, DevOps, self-hosting, or startup building, weāll probably get along well.
Iām also always curious how other people structure their homelabs and workflows, so feel free to say hi or share what youāre working on.
Looking forward to learning from all of you!
Hey Jonasz! Welcome to Dev.to! Hope you are well :D
The Foundation - group You're a part of, seems awesome. Great idea too!
Thanks!
Hey Jonasz, Welcome to DEV.to! Really appreciate you sharing your journey so openly. Excited to follow along and learn from your DevOps experiments and startup experiences!
Hello everyone! I'm Elmar Chavez, a licensed civil engineer turned frontend developer.
I started this career shift last March 2025 and I have been showing up everyday to upskill in the tech industry. My goal here is to expand my connections and write some dev posts about my personal experiences on my way to being a respected full stack developer.
Hey Elmar! Welcome to Dev.to and hope you are well.
Is there a certain technology you are using for full-stack? In any case, welcome aboard :D
Currently contemplating on whether to learn Python for the backend or stick with JavaScript for now.
Hi everyone!
I'm Ihor Klymchuk, with more than 12 years of experience in e-commerce development, and for the past year, I've focused on AI development. I have over 7 years of experience in leadership roles such as CTO and Architect.
I'm here to share my experience and hopefully bring you some insights :) Also, I'm happy to find new connections, read your stories, and continuously improve.
Hey Ihor! Hope you are well. Welcome to Dev.to!
12+ years is a lot in your field of development and glad you still developing! What's your favorite part about being an e-commerce dev? In any case, welcome and hope your journey goes well!
Thank you.
I think the best part in e-comm is business - the ability to work with large enterprises and B2B projects, which is really a very cool experience that requires a lot of passion and skills to resolve complex tasks.
Hi everyone! Iāve missed the previous thread, so here I am this time š āØāØ
My name is Przemek, and I do all the data things - ETL pipelines, analytics, automations, web apps and so on, so kind of a full-stack data š
Happy to be able to join the community here and keep learning.
Iāve also shared a blog post of my own as well, I also have some projects on the way, so I will be looking forward to be able to share my journey and hear your thoughts š
Hey Przemyslaw. Hope you are well. Just in time and welcome to Dev.to!
Do you have any ideas on what you are planning on posting? In any case, hope your journey goes well :D
Hi Francis!
I should be posting about the topics that will come across throughout the journey - database design, AI-powered development, frameworks comparison and such š. Hopefully these topics sound exciting not only for me š
Welcome to DEV.to, Przemek! Great to have you here. Excited to see your projects and follow your data journey.
Hi everyone, Iām Emmanuel, a Cloud and DevOps engineer. I work with Kubernetes, automation, and cloud infrastructure, and Iām currently exploring serverless as an AWS Community Builder. Excited to learn and share my journey here.
Hey Emmanuel! Welcome to Dev.to! Hope you are well. How long have you been a Cloud and DevOps engineer and was wondering what was one thing you enjoy being in that field?
Regardless, welcome :D

Hey there š, I'm a full stack developer vibing on coding and problem-solving. I'm here to learn and share knowledge related to Tech, I'm vibing with Python, JavaScript, Java, and C++, plus HTML/CSS for frontend magic āØ. I work with MySQL, MongoDB, and PostgreSQL for databases, and I've got frameworks like React, Angular, Django, Flask, and Node.js.
Hey Ithagu! Welcome to Dev.to! Also a full stack here and great stack choice!
Any plans for this year? Regardless, welcome aboard!
Welcome to DEV.to, Ithagu! Thatās a great stack youāre working with. Looking forward to your posts and learning from what you share.
Hello everyone! I'm here to restart my journey in tech and will mainly be sharing dev logs, experiments, and interesting things I learn along the way.
It may take me a little time to start posting consistently as Iām currently recovering and rebuilding my routine after a challenging period over the past year. I'm gradually getting back into focused learning and development.
Right now, Iām diving into data analytics as my entry point back into the tech world after a career gap. Iām currently practicing tools like Python, NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, Seaborn, and exploratory data analysis (EDA). Alongside this, Iām working on a small project ,a Mental Health Check-in Bot built with Python that tracks daily mood inputs and highlights stress trends through simple metrics to build awareness.
My long-term goal is to move deeper into AI/ML and eventually work toward robotics integrated with AI.
Iām hoping to build connections here with people who enjoy learning, sharing ideas, and growing together. Looking forward to contributing and learning from this community.
Hey Technodox10! Hope you are well and welcome to Dev.to!
Is there anything you want to learn in AI/ML in-depth? Was wondering what was before your journey in tech.
In any case, welcome aboard and hope you are well!
Welcome to DEV.to, Technodox10. Wishing you the best as you get back into learning and sharing. Looking forward to learning about your Mental Health Check-in Bot.
Thank You so much Rubasri ... :)
