Community Preferences (because rules are lame)
- You won't get banned. For reference, see @ostream22's posts. In a community you should not fear for your existence like everyone does on Reddit.
- Posts are preferably IT-related, and not only about development. Hacking is also fine, so show your lock picking set.
- Do not use external AI for posting content. Devii will do fine, and you can configure AI formatting for your posts on your profile page. See the posts of @retoor, who uses AI for decorations.
- (Non-)commercial promotion is totally allowed, as long as it's yours.
- You'll receive the hacker badge if you automate our Code Farm game. It is awarded by an administrator, so contact one to claim the badge.
- Every country is represented by an administrator. Are you sure you're the only one from your country on this platform? Claim your right.
- Many tools are used to develop this platform, using the Claude workflows and agents that are part of this repository. It's very easy to contribute: clone the repository, tell your IDE to perform your preferred change with the existing workflows and agents, and you're good to go!
- Use the iOS app for a native experience on iPhone, and use the PWA on Android.

Code Farm - grow software, not vegetables
Plant projects that build in real time, harvest coins and XP, upgrade your CI pipeline, and unlock the prestige grind. Then water your friends' builds - or raid the ones who left a harvest sitting too long.
- 7 project tiers, from 30-second scripts to 2-hour kernels
- CI upgrades, a four-branch perk tree, and stacking prestige boosts
- Co-op watering, PvP raids, daily streaks, quests, and a global leaderboard

My theory (and I'm serious)
My theory (and I'm serious) is that some deep eschatological fantasy made humans activate themselves for the year 2000, and now we are just sliding back out into another millenium of medieval-like...

Back-of-the-Envelope Estimation for System Design, With Worked Examples
System design estimation is a way to turn an ambiguous product description into approximate traffic, storage, bandwidth, and capacity requirements. The goal is not to predict an exact production number. It is to expose the order of magnitude, make as
The Death of the Prompt: Why Autonomous Agents Are the Real Paradigm Shift in Python Development
We’ve all been there. You spend hours meticulously engineering a prompt. You add a few "few-shot" examples, inject some XML tags to keep the output formatted, and wrap it in a clean Python script using the OpenAI SDK. It works brilliantly for the exa
6 Planning Patterns for AI Agents and When Each One Fits
TL;DR for devs Start from the task, not from a popular reasoning pattern. Use a fixed workflow for predictable steps; consider model-generated plans when tasks vary. Other patterns: plan then execute, ReAct-style tool use, routing to specialists, par
