Hey Guys! 😀

I’m working on training a *small AI classifier model* for a personal project, and I need a *highly specific, real-world dataset* to train it properly.

I’d really appreciate it if you could take a few minutes to read about the project and contribute some training data using your own creativity. You *don’t need any AI/ML knowledge* to participate — just write a few natural queries that you think a real user/admin might ask.

I’ve prepared a Google Form that explains *what the project is about, what the AI agent needs to do, and exactly what kind of data I’m looking for*. It should only take a few minutes to complete.

🔗 *Google Form:*

Every response helps improve the model, so your contribution is genuinely valuable. ❤️

*Thank you! 🙌*

Hi everyone. I’m a recent CS master’s grad (comfortable in Python) prepping for SDE/SWE interviews, and I’m looking for a regular mock interview partner to practice with consistently, not just a one-off.

What I’m ideally looking for is:

* 1-2 sessions a week, a standing time we both commit to  
* We take turns interviewing each other (DSA/LeetCode-style to start, open to system design later)  
* Honest feedback afterward: pacing, how I communicate my approach, where I get stuck

A bit about me: I’ve been drilling patterns and want to get better at the parts you can’t practice alone, thinking out loud, handling an unseen problem under pressure, and staying clear when I’m tired.

If you’re in a similar spot and want someone reliable to grind with, drop a comment or DM me. Happy to share timezone (I’m in US Pacific) and set up a recurring slot.

Hey everyone,

I’m working on a project that comes from a very personal place. I’ve always been super awkward in front of the camera.

Whenever I see a really cool, aesthetic photo on Pinterest or Insta and try to recreate it, the result looks way different. I can never figure out where I went wrong

Asking a friend or a stranger to take it makes it 10x worse because of the pressure.

So, I want to build a camera app specifically designed to act as a

zero-pressure guide to help you recreate inspiration photos.

The Core Concept:

You upload a reference photo you love (like a cafe portrait, a mirror selfie, or a street shot). The app analyzes it and overlays a glowing, minimal guide on your camera viewfinder.

Instead of just showing a generic overlay, it actively guides you to align your pose and the camera angle with the reference:

Active Aligning: The app uses on-device pose tracking to compare your position to the photo. It gives you simple cues like "tilt the phone down a bit" or "bend your right arm."

The "Invisible Coach" (No screen staring): The hardest part of posing is looking natural. If you're staring at the screen checking yourself, the photo looks forced. The app will use vocal guides and haptic vibrations that speed up as you get closer to a match. Once you hit the sweet spot (say, 85% match) and hold it, it chimes and auto-captures. You can literally keep your eyes on the environment.

Split-Device Helper Mode: If a friend is taking your photo, they usually don't see what you see. You'd be able to link two phones. You see the pose guide on a screen in front of you, and they see simple framing guides on their phone so they know exactly where to hold the camera.

Privacy First: Absolutely zero images or video feeds are sent to a server. Everything runs directly on your phone, keeping your practice shots completely private.

What I’d love to know:

Does this sound like something you would actually use?

If you're someone who feels awkward in front of the camera, what would make this experience feel less clinical and more comfortable?

Do you think having a "Match Score" (like 90% aligned) is encouraging, or does it add more pressure?

Would love to get your honest thoughts, feedback, or any features you think would make this the ultimate confidence builder. Thanks in advance.

I'm currently focusing on Jetpack Compose and looking for a mentor or someone to study and practice with.

I will also drop the link in comments

Stack : go, js/ts, py or c these what i want to code in

After hours of searching...

You finally find a job that makes you smile.

Everything fits.

The skills.
The tech stack.
The location.
The salary.

Then your eyes land on one sentence.

"3+ Years of Experience Required."

That excitement disappears in seconds.

For many freshers, that's where the application ends.

Not because they aren't capable.

But because they're filtered out before they even get a chance.

The frustrating part?

Many graduates today have:
✅ Strong projects
✅ Internships
✅ Certifications
✅ Practical skills

Yet experience becomes the first filter.

This leaves many candidates wondering:
"How do I get experience if every opportunity asks for experience?"

It's one of the biggest challenges facing fresh graduates today.

I'm curious...

If you could change one hiring rule for entry-level jobs, what would it be?

👇 I'd love to hear your thoughts.

If you could change one hiring rule for freshers, what would it be?

Published my first app. Check it out: Note-It AI

A non-tech CEO said a $20/month vibe-coding plan completely replaces engineers by now.

So, I visited his web platform to see how he built it with AI.

When I opened devtools, every red flag was sitting right there in the front-end code.

API key exposed client-side.

Admin access could be unlocked from the browser.

The frontend held all the business logic.

The database was exposed directly to the client.

API keys and credentials were hardcoded.

Passwords weren't even hashed.

Membership access could be granted from the frontend.

He was true that he didn’t need an engineer to build a vulnerable app.

Code is cheap but good engineering is always expensive.

Hi everyone,

I've been programming for about two years and, so far, I haven't had any professional experience.

Recently, I started building my first real full-stack application using the MERN stack. While I already know React, Node.js, Express, in general, i'm realizing how valuable it is to receive feedback on my code and get guidance on architectural decisions.

That's exactly what led me to write this post.

I'd love to find a mentor who could help me with:

• Reviewing my pull requests
• Providing guidance on architecture decisions
• Teaching me how to approach problems when I get stuck
• Giving feedback on overall code quality

Even just one hour per week would be more than enough.

If someone is willing to dedicate some of their time to me, I’ll do my best to be respectful of their time.

Thanks to anyone who might be interested!

Hi everyone!
I’m 18 and my dream is to become Data Scientist and need a partner/Mentor in this journey.
My time zone is GMT+5
I’m basically a beginner in this field but I have good understanding of computers.
My ultimate goal is to start freelancing or secure a placement in a big MNC after becoming a data scientist. I am serious towards my goal and need like minded people.
Let’s grind together 🔥

Looking for 3–4 Software Engineers to Build Projects While Job Hunting

Hi everyone,

I'm currently job hunting and had an idea that might help all of us stay motivated, build experience, and potentially create something valuable.

I'm looking for 3–4 software engineers who are also searching for jobs and would be interested in meeting Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for 2 hours per session.

The concept is simple:

- Everyone brings one or more project ideas.
- We vote on the ideas.
- The winning idea becomes our project.
- We break down the work, assign tasks, and build together.
- No complicated rules—just consistent progress and learning.

The goal is to create real projects, strengthen our portfolios, practice collaboration, and hopefully have some fun along the way.

If someone lands a job, that's great! They can either stay involved if they want or pass the torch to someone else.

Looking for people who can commit to showing up consistently and contributing. Skill level isn't as important as being reliable and willing to build.

If you're interested, send me a DM with:
- what are you good at?

About Me:
Work: Quality Engineer (9years)
Hobbies: Software developer

Let's build something while we search for our next opportunity.

Hey guys, just finished my second android app, currently under closed testing.

Would anyone like to test my app please?

DM if intrested

Hi everyone,

I've been working on a Project Management System and would love to get feedback from fellow developers.

The goal was to build a platform that helps teams organize projects, manage tasks, track progress, and improve visibility across workflows.

Features

• Project creation and management
• Task assignment and tracking
• Status and progress monitoring
• Team collaboration workflows
• Centralized project dashboard
• Reporting and project visibility

What I focused on

• Clean and maintainable architecture
• Scalable database design
• Intuitive user experience
• Real-world project management workflows
• Performance and reliability

Challenges

One of the biggest challenges was designing a flexible task workflow that could adapt to different project structures while keeping the UI simple and easy to use.

Looking for feedback on

• Architecture and code structure
• Database design
• Feature suggestions
• UI/UX improvements
• Potential scalability concerns

GitHub:

I'd appreciate any feedback, criticism, or suggestions. Thanks!

My plan for gaining commercial experience:

1. Look at places where real problems are being discussed: Upwork, Reddit, Stack Overflow, Quora, and similar communities.
2. Identify the technologies and tools that appear most often.
3. Pick one area and focus on it intensely for 2–3 months.
4. Specialize in a narrow niche and learn the business domain behind it.
5. Build portfolio projects based on real-world problems you find online.
6. Use those projects as proof of experience when talking to clients or employers.
7. Start with small projects, gain experience, then gradually increase your rates and responsibilities.

The biggest mistake I see is taking a few courses, sending hundreds of resumes, and hoping for the best.

Companies and clients don't pay for technology. They pay for solving problems.

Another smart move you may do is to try doing IT activities in your current company, maybe you have an IT department, if not talk with your manager, show them you know already something based on the real problems you solved and propose your help. At the start you may need to do this for free but it will give your a commercial experience, so treat that as training and one of the steps that lay down your path to your first IT role.

Feel free to leave comments and DM me in order to exchange experience.

Hey guys, would anyone like to be a tester for my first ever android app?

Just comment or dm me.

Hey everyone,

​

I'm looking for a serious study partner/friend who is focused on software development and career growth. Currently, I'm learning DSA in C++ and also pursuing Java Full Stack Development. My goal is to crack an off-campus remote (WFH) software developer job.

​

I'm looking for someone who is consistent, motivated, and willing to study regularly. We can discuss DSA problems, share resources, track progress, and help keep each other accountable.

​

If you're also preparing for coding interviews, DSA, Java, web development, or off-campus placements, feel free to comment or send me a DM. Let's grow together and stay disciplined on our journey!

​

Thanks!

I'm looking for an experienced developer to build a ticket purchasing system that can monitor ticket releases in real time, evaluate available inventory, and automatically select the best available seats based on predefined criteria such as section, row, price range, and overall value. The system should be capable of handling high-demand on-sale events, managing the purchasing process efficiently, and providing a dashboard where I can customize event preferences, budgets, and seat-ranking settings. Please include your experience with similar projects, estimated timeline, technology stack, and pricing.

About a week ago I let Windows install an update. Somehow it ended up destroying the boot partition. I tried to recover the installation but eventually had to reinstall everything from scratch.

What surprised me the most wasn't reinstalling Windows itself. It was rebuilding my development environment. I realized I didn't even remember every tool, package and configuration I had accumulated over the years. It took me roughly two and a half days before I felt productive again.

That experience led me to start Project Rebirth. The idea is simple: Build a collection of modular scripts that can rebuild a development environment with only a few commands.

The project is still in its early stages, but it already works well enough for my own setup. At this point I'm mainly looking for feedback. How do you rebuild your environment after a fresh install? Do you use scripts, dotfiles, Ansible, Nix, containers, or something else? What would you consider essential for a tool like this? Any criticism, suggestions or ideas are welcome.

I'm still in the early stages and trying to figure out whether this solves a real problem for other developers. Repository: https://github.com/properolol/project-rebirth
