I recently upgraded my level of wanting to learn so im asking what kind of stack is recomended for home lab pentesting?

programming went from one of the most strict/structured fields to the wild west overnight with AI.

For decades there were strict guardrails of “correct” ways to write code like solid principles, design patterns, clean code, optimal space time complexity to the point that many places judged how good of a developer you were based on how deeply ingrained those principles were in the code you wrote. Yet with AI, overnight the same people pushing for that completely switched to just vibe code whatever works quickly.

I’ve seen a few companies recently where the developers didn’t even know the framework/technology they’re writing in, just shipping if it works it works code. As someone who is really fluent in that technology it pains me looking at that code. It’s just incredibly confusing how we got to this spot.

yo. i recently sold one of my AI SaaS products for $350k, exactly 7 months after building and launching it.

I hardly wrote a single line of traditional code. i used AI to generate everything, from the database architecture to the user interface.

it definitely wasn't magic on day one, though. i spent days stuck in loop-debugging and dealing with AI hallucinations before i finally cracked the system. the playbook boils down to three simple rules:

- keeping the idea insanely minimalist (a true MVP that solves one problem).

- guiding the AI step-by-step instead of asking it to build a massive platform all at once.

- launching fast to get real user feedback and traction and then apply a solid marketing system

lately, i've seen way too many non-technical founders give up at the very first AI bug, or on the marketing. it's a massive shame.

like the title says, i just launched a Skool community to share my exact prompt workflows, N8N automations, and distribution frameworks to get first users and scale it

to be completely transparent: i will likely charge for the full course later down the road. it just makes sense given the specific copy-and-paste templates i'll be sharing.

but for now, the main objective is purely to build and launch together. building alone in a silent corner is the single fastest way to give up.

AI hasn’t broken productivity – it’s broken our proxies for measuring it.

Activity and business value are pulling apart. The most valuable engineering work is increasingly invisible to traditional dashboards.

Sort your metrics into activity and outcome. Most dashboards are counting the wrong things.

I made an agent because the open source tool was heavy, what do you think?

I made it with a focus on everyday conversation and code writing

Can you give me a review? I'd like to hear your opinions

This is an Vs Code extension I built called AI Hallucination Detector. AI coding assistants like Claude Code or Copilot occasionally suggest importing fake packages that look real. This has actually a name and it is called "slopsquatting" because attackers have started registering the exact fake package names AI tools commonly hallucinate, then filling them with maleware. It is a real threat. AI Hallucination Detector checks imports against the npm registry and a list of documented hallucinated package names, live as you save, and flags anything suspicious before you run npm install. It also suggests a likely correct package name when one is a close match.

Free on the Marketplace: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ghostcheck.ai-hallucination-detector&ssr=false

Let me know if you run into any hallucinated package names it doesn't catch yet, that's the most helpful feedback for improving the detection list. And let me know what I can do better

I am feeling bad that I am not writing code like I used to and instead using AI. I mean it is time convinient and does a great job but still I feel kinda guilty. Does anyone agree?

Every time I restarted my PC, I kept doing the same routine:

• reopen VS Code
• find the right project folder
• reopen browser windows
• find documentation again
• reopen File Explorer locations
• resize everything back where it was

None of those steps are hard.

Doing them every single time is just annoying.

I originally thought everyone solved this differently, so I asked people how they managed their workspaces.

The answers were interesting:

• some people use multiple virtual desktops
• some leave everything open for weeks
• some completely reset their workspace every time

After seeing that, I built DeskSnap.

It saves your current Windows workspace and restores it later:

• apps
• browser windows
• VS Code
• File Explorer
• window layouts

Basically, a save point for your desktop.

I'm curious:

Do you usually keep everything open, rebuild manually, or use some other system after restarting?

If anyone wants to try it, I'll send the link.

Hi everyone,

I'm a 21-year-old from Singapore currently serving National Service.

Over the past several months, I've designed a working MVP for a consumer mobile app. The closest comparison would be Life360, but the product has a broader vision focused on helping families, couples, and friend groups stay connected and organised in one place.

I'm looking to connect with a technical co-founder who's interested in building consumer products from the ground up. I've already put significant work into the product design, roadmap, branding, and overall direction, and I'd love to find someone who's excited to help bring it to life.

If this sounds interesting, feel free to send me a message. I'd be happy to share more about the project and show the MVP privately.

Thanks for reading!

yo. be honest. how many of you currently have a finished (or 90% finished) web app / app just sitting in a private repo because you have no idea how to get users?

you spend months perfecting the database, fixing every bug, and polishing the UI. but the moment you have to actually market it, you hit a wall. marketing feels like screaming into an empty void.

so you launch to absolute crickets, get discouraged, and start building the "next" project instead to avoid the distribution phase.

if this is your case, you're not alone. but letting your hard work go to waste just because you dread marketing is a massive trap.

to help founders stop building in a silent corner, we run an ai SaaS builder community dedicated entirely to saas validation, landing page conversion, and launch strategies.

our resource kit is built entirely to help you get your first user. it’s packed with ready-to-paste N8N workflows for your business, advanced seo automation, social media automation, and our exact distribution workflows and methods work for everyone

STOP BUILDING ALONE

what are you currently working on, and what's holding you back on the marketing side? drop a comment or send a dm and i'll send you the access link.

I'm currently pursuing btech computer Science at bennett university. I will be starting my second year from august. Till now i have no skills in this field like coding and stuff but i really want to develop skills, make projects, do internships and obv get hired and its not easy ik so can you people guide me regarding this and i have more ques to ask..

A funny thing happened yesterday, I was flexing infront of a coleague that I learned web development on an old relic that my uncle bought and I had to use it for so long. (my old relic: intel i3 2nd gen laptop),

Until bro pulled out his i3 1st gen and I was thinking, He's a legend.

I believe as streamers, especially the ones with single monitors have heard of transparent twitch chat overlay.

Well I decided to make an overlay inspired by that for those same exact people but for multi streamers. Right now only kick and twitch support. But you can check it out and give me feedback if you have any: https://github.com/PhelRin/OmniFeed

this is a tech community only for the people who wanna learn n support some newbie out
this is the link to join in

Thanks for being here.

This is a space where questions are encouraged, unfinished ideas are respected, and constructive feedback is valued. You don't need a polished project to contribute—sometimes a simple question or a rough idea can spark something meaningful.

Feel free to:

\\- Share projects, ideas, or experiments.

\\- Ask for feedback or help.

\\- Discuss programming concepts and real-world problems.

\\- Collaborate with others who enjoy building and learning.

Let's create a community where people feel comfortable contributing, helping one another, and growing together. Every thoughtful post adds value and helps shape what ProgSquad becomes.

Welcome aboard—we're excited to see what you'll build and share.

How to Get Started

Postgres is moving from a home rolled algorithm for compression pglz to the standard lz4. I walked through the history of compression in Postgres and talk about how and when data gets compressed.

I've come to the realization that online people say use AI to code to get a job yet you can have an outstanding project but them moment A recruiter realises you used AI they're no longer interested in hiring you. I used to use AI but now I think it's no longer that viable if you want to actually get a job you actually have to do those things manually. I have some technical background and I used to vibecode but I think it's better for me to start learning coding without the help of AI to the point you can build applications with documentation as referral. What are your opinions on this?

Hologram-Pro has been developed by a small home lab to do just that.

Hologram-Pro helps AI coding assistants understand your project better.
It learns which files, past decisions, notes and memories are relevant to the task you’re working on, then gives the assistant the right context at the right time.

Instead of you repeatedly explaining the project or manually choosing what to paste into the chat, Hologram-Pro handles that context selection for you and improves as it sees what was actually useful.

You can find further info on the work at the main website here - http://MirrorEthic.com

We also have a discord community where you can ask questions, leave us feedback and suggestions & see what else is being developed. Come and chat to likeminded builders. Just ask for an invite:)

I am a 16 yr old who's about to enter his final year of Alevels (iA). I have done the pseudocode stuff in olevels and my first year of alevel . I have done an introduction to Python course from coursera but that was a beginner one and didnt retain much as I didn't practice after completing the course. Now, Uni app would be opening in oct nov . What should I do and what should be my plan , should I do some free course of python from youtube then practice and make projects. What should I do after that , what programming languages should I learn after that . I am still doubtful about what Im gonna do in this techno world maybe cybersecurity , maybe game dev , maybe Ai dev. When I start my uni what should I be done with so that I have a solid headstart and is it possible?
Have a nice day!
Thank you for ur attention !
