18-year-old full-stack developer looking to join an early-stage startup

I'm 18 and I've been coding since I was around 12. Over the last few years I've focused on building real products instead of just tutorials.

Some of the things I've worked on:

  • Full-stack web applications
  • Mobile apps
  • Accounting software
  • AI-powered applications
  • Open-source developer tools
  • Active maintainer/contributor in a few GitHub open-source projects

what i am good at : frontend, backend, databases, APIs, authentication, and deployment. I enjoy building things from scratch and solving technical problems.

At this point, I'm not just looking for another project—I want to experience what it's like to work inside an early-stage startup, move fast, and learn from founders and experienced engineers.

If you're building something interesting and think I could help, I'd be happy to share my GitHub, and previous projects.

I'm open to remote opportunities and excited to learn as much as possible.

Thanks!

Looking to Join an Early-Stage Startup (i will not promote)

Hi everyone,

I'm an 18-year-old developer from India looking to join a remote startup as a software engineer.

I started programming when I was 12, and for the past few years I've focused on building real products instead of just following tutorials.

Some of the projects I've built include:

  • Wolbarg – an open-source, local-first memory SDK for AI agents.
  • Connectors and integrations for Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex.
  • An AI Tutor platform (currently building).
  • Beacon (currently building).
  • Several other full-stack AI applications and developer tools.

My main stack includes:

  • TypeScript / JavaScript
  • React
  • React Native
  • Node.js
  • Express
  • MongoDB
  • AI SDKs and LLM integrations

I'm comfortable taking products from idea to production, learning new technologies quickly, and working independently.

I'm not looking for a FAANG-style role. I'd rather join a small, ambitious startup where I can contribute from day one, learn from experienced engineers, and help build products that people actually use.

If you're building an AI product, developer tool, or SaaS and are looking for another engineer, I'd love to connect.

Which experiment would you focus on? (i will not promote)

I'm currently running two small startup experiments.

  1. Team Context - A tool where an admin connects a GitHub repo and invites the team. It helps preserve team context—who owns what, why decisions were made, and reduces knowledge getting lost.

  2. Memory-First AI Tutor - An AI tutor that remembers what you know across subjects, topics, and sessions. It adapts to your pace and learning style, using text, diagrams/flashcards, and audio.

I'm not promoting either—they're not even public yet. Just trying to figure out which direction is more worth pursuing.

Which one would you bet on, and why?

how do you build distribution from scratch? (i will not promote)

I've been coding since 5th grade.

Building things has always come naturally to me. If I have an idea, I can usually turn it into a working product.

The problem is everything that comes after.

I'm an extreme introvert. I don't enjoy putting myself out there, networking, making content, or constantly talking about what I'm building. Because of that, I've realized I've spent years improving my ability to build, but almost no time learning distribution.

For founders who know how to build distribution:

- How did you learn distribution?

- What worked when you didn't have an audience?

- If you could start over today, how would you get your first users?

I'd appreciate any advice or resources that helped you make that transition from builder to founder.

Building in the collaboration space. I'd love to learn from your experience. (i will not promote)

I'm exploring a startup in the developer collaboration space, but I don't want to build based on assumptions.

If you regularly work on software with other developers (startup, company, or open source), what's the most frustrating part of collaboration?

Some things I'm curious about:

  1. Where do communication breakdowns happen?

  2. What wastes the most time?

  3. What tools solve part of the problem but still leave gaps?

  4. What's one thing you wish existed that would make collaborating on code easier?

  5. what are the extremely painful problems of developer or manager that none of the current Tools solves? or doesn't solve properly?

I'm looking for stories from real teams working on production code or active open-source projects. Even if it's something small that annoys you every day, I'd love to hear it.

I want to understand the problem deeply before deciding what to build.

What frustrates you most about coding with a team?

I'm building a collaborative IDE, but I realized I'm probably making too many assumptions about how teams actually work.

If you regularly code with a team (startup, company, or open source), what's the most frustrating part of collaborating?

I'm not here to promote anything—I genuinely want to understand real workflows before I spend months building the wrong thing.

And if this is a problem you're passionate about and you'd like to build something together, you're welcome to reach out.

Built a shared project memory for Claude Code, Cursor & Codex — looking for beta testers

I've been building Wolbarg Workspace, a shared project memory for coding agents.

One thing that always annoyed me was switching between agents. I'd work in Claude Code, then open Codex or Cursor, and suddenly the new agent had zero context about the project.

Workspace fixes that by letting Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex share the same project memory—architecture decisions, implementation notes, bugs, TODOs, and other project knowledge stay available no matter which agent you're using.

It's still in beta.

I mainly use Cursor, so I need feedback from people who use Claude Code or Codex regularly.

If you have a few minutes, I'd really appreciate you trying it on a real project and telling me:

  • Did setup work?
  • Did the shared memory actually help?
  • What broke or felt confusing?

I'd much rather hear honest criticism than "looks cool."

i built something for cursor power users.

Anyone here regularly runs multiple Cursor agents?

I'm building a shared coordination/memory layer so agents can share findings, avoid duplicate work, and know what other agents are doing.

Would something like this actually be useful for your workflow? or if you want to try it out ?

Looking for people who are willing to contribute to an open source project.

Hi everyone.

1 week ago i launched my open source project. Named wolbarg. Its an shared memory for multi-agentic workflow, think of it as many agent can write to a specific memory, and use context generation by other agents, with high concurrency so 100s of agent can write at a time.

I started to gain some traction in under a week i got roughly 1500+ npm downloads.

And 1000+ download in different integreation like langchain, openai, etc.

But now i think its a good time to make a community around this and connect with people who has more experience than me.

So if your intrested people comment down or DM me i'll send you the discord, github discussion, repo and website, docs link.

Thanks for reading.

Looking for early users to break my opensource project before the 1.0 release

I've just enabled **GitHub Discussions** for Wolbarg.

The SDK is at the stage where real-world feedback is far more valuable than me adding another feature.

If you're experimenting with it, I'd love to hear:

* Bugs or edge cases you run into * API pain points * Performance issues * Missing documentation * Architecture ideas * Integration examples

Even if you only spend 15 minutes trying it and manage to break something—that's incredibly useful.

Every issue found now makes the SDK more reliable before the 1.0 release.

1200+ weekly download for a 5 day old package

5 days ago I published Wolbarg, an open-source memory SDK for AI agents.

This week it crossed 1,200+ npm downloads.

Still a long way to go, but it's encouraging to see developers finding it useful this early.

If you're building AI agents, I'd love to hear what memory features you're still missing.

The Transition from Stateless to Stateful AI Agents

I think we're approaching a shift in how AI systems are built.

Early agents treated every request as a fresh start. That works—until they need to collaborate, remember, or run for days.

I wrote about why I think state will become a core part of agent architecture.

Curious whether others building agents agree or disagree.

One Giant Agent vs 100 Small Agents

Everyone is debating bigger models.

I think the real bottleneck isn't intelligence anymore—it's coordination.

As agents become cheaper, the question changes from How smart should one agent be? to How many agents should a system have?

I wrote about why I think production AI will look more like an organization than a single employee.

I built a local-first memory SDK for AI agents with a fully reproducible benchmark suite

I've been working on Agent ORC, an open-source local-first memory SDK for AI agents.

The goal is to make persistent memory simple without requiring external vector databases for many use cases. It provides semantic search, memory compression, concurrent writes, and SQLite-based storage with a simple API.

Alongside the SDK, I built a public benchmark suite that anyone can run on their own machine. Instead of publishing numbers and asking people to trust them, the entire benchmark process is open-source and reproducible.

The benchmarks measure:

• Cold & warm startup

• Insert throughput

• Semantic search latency

• Retrieval latency

• Memory usage

• Database growth

• Memory compression

• Concurrent writers

I'd love feedback on both the SDK architecture and the benchmark methodology.

Built a local-first shared memory layer for multi-agent systems

Multi-agent setups keep re-deriving context because agents don't share memory by default. Most fixes mean standing up a hosted vector DB.

agentOrc is a small TypeScript SDK that gives agents a shared semantic memory, stored entirely on disk. No server, model-agnostic — point it at Ollama, OpenAI, whatever OpenAI-compatible endpoint you're running. Safe for concurrent agents writing at the same time.

Falls back to a local BLOB + cosine search path on platforms without a sqlite-vec binary, same public API either way.

npm install agentorc

Or setup guide 👉 https://agentOrc.lucareo.com

Would like to know where this breaks for people running real local setups.

Building autonomous agent runtime for founders

Hi everyone.

I'm Atharv. I am currently working on an project.

Which creates a founder centric agent runtime.

Basically you can spawn agents that run for months. And can monitor your workflow. Resolves team conflicts. Investigate problems.

And notify founder only when your attention is needed.

Please if your a startup founder and have any feedback please drop that here.

Building something for founders who juggles between different tools

​

Hi everyone.

I'm looking for a few founders who'd be willing to try something I've been building and tell me where it falls short.

Over the past few weeks, I've been building an AI workspace for founders who constantly jump between different tools. The goal is to reduce context switching and keep everything in one place.

It's still in beta, and I'm looking for beta-users right now. Who can give me genuine feedback.

If you're actively building a startup and spend too much time switching between tools, I'd really appreciate 15–20 minutes of your time. I'll onboard you personally and would love to hear what works, what doesn't, and what features are missing.

If you're interested, you can join the waitlist at https://waitlist.lucareo.com leave a comment or send me a DM. Thanks!

Is anyone else drowning in app-switching fatigue? 😮‍💨

​Hi everyone,

I'm Atharv.

​Am I the only one who feels like the hardest part of staying organized isn't actually the planning—it’s just trying to find your own stuff?

​I kept running into this frustrating loop:

• ​A meeting is on my Calendar...

• ​The prep notes are buried in Docs...

• ​The action items are in Tasks...

​I spent more time switching tabs and searching for links than actually getting work done.

​To save my own sanity, I built a tool that brings all of this scattered info into one cohesive view. I’m curious—does this chaotic "app-hopping" drive anyone else crazy, or have you found a way to manage it?

​If this is a problem you face every day and you'd like to help shape the solution, I'd love to have you on board as a beta user.
