Looking for ML enthusiasts to connect with

Hey everyone, I’m a 16M from the Netherlands. I was hoping to connect with some like-minded people that are interested in ML. I am not talking about GPT wrappers, but more about the fundamentals like LLM architectures, data science, inference, etc.

If you want to connect, you can comment below. Maybe we can even start a project together. Thank you for your time.

I built an HTML-first web framework on Bun — Stoneware

>I’ve been building Stoneware, a Bun-native web framework with a simple idea:

HTML is the default. JavaScript is opt-in.

It focuses on:

  • Server-side rendering
  • Islands for interactive components
  • Signals
  • Static export
  • Secure-by-default rendering
  • Bun-native tooling

Need advice as a young programmer.

Hey guys, I am 14 years old and I love programming since I was 11! Just a few weeks ago I finished CS50P: Introduction to programming with Python from Harvard university! And I am confused on what I should do next. Before CS50P I used to make small Python programs like a number guessing game from my basic Python knowledge. Now after CS50P since I know significantly more stuff about Python but I don’t know what would be good to build so I don’t waste my time on stuff I build that does not matter to anyone.

I'll Teach Programming for Free - Beginners Welcome (Online/Bangalore)

Hi everyone,

I'm Arif, a software engineer with 6+ years of experience. I genuinely enjoy teaching, and since my current job is a bit less demanding, I've decided to offer free programming mentorship/classes.

There are already countless great programming resources online. What I want to offer is guidance, help understanding fundamentals, getting unstuck, and knowing what to learn next.

Who this is for:

  • College and school students
  • Complete beginners
  • Anyone struggling with programming fundamentals
  • People who want guidance on what to learn and how to learn

The goal is to make difficult concepts easier to understand and help you build confidence.

Why learn with me?

I love breaking complex topics into simple, practical explanations.

A real example: I taught my younger brother, who started with zero programming knowledge (he was even unfamiliar with basic file extensions). Over about 6–7 months, he learned HTML, CSS, JavaScript, basic React, Node.js, and DSA. He eventually solved 200+ LeetCode problems on his own.

To be clear, he did the hard work—I mainly guided him, explained concepts when he got stuck, and helped him follow a structured learning path. That's exactly the kind of support I want to offer others.

His profiles:

If you're interested, leave a comment or send me a DM with:

  • Your current level (school/college/beginner)
  • What you're trying to learn
  • Whether you prefer online or Bangalore (maybe we can occasionally meet at a cafe)

Cost: Free. I just enjoy teaching and want to help people get started.

Tech stack: Fullstack Web development, Java, Python, DSA, DB/SQL, and general programming fundamentals.

Format:

I'll most probably do weekly 1-on-1 sessions, so I don't think I'll be able to take more than 3 students for now. I'd rather keep it small so I can give each person proper attention.

I'm not selling a course, asking for payments, or promoting anything—I simply enjoy teaching and have some free time, and I'd love to help someone who's getting started with programming.

1st year hackathon

My college has organized a hackathon for 1st year students that will be in just 5 days..and I have 0 knowledge about coding or anything related to tech

I have got a team where they are asking me about the idea and am confused what ideas I should suggest as am very clueless..all the work will be done by one person who knows coding

But they are saying me to help to and ofc I want to but am not able to figure out that what I can do

Also can anyone tell what all should be done in a hackathon and can you suggest some ideas as we have to make a product or something

And participating in it is compulsory as it's for 1st year only

Also how to give the presentation there and they are saying me to make it creative..but how? What should I do?

Building a C inspired language give your idea's

ok
i COMPLETELY redid it

implementing some borrow checking features
redid newline as end of line to semicolon

getting better function/struct syntax
adding more mem safe features
& more

GOALS:

make a language thats low level yet still simple enough to read and learn for begginers
make it usable

im not writing the compiler 100% by myself as im adopting the QBE IR into it
it will be compiled

include: <stdlib.h>      #something like that not final though

do_my_addition:void (&num1, &num2) {
 write "answer:\t {&num1 + &num2}";
}

main: () {
 let ovr I = 4: i32;  #means let overidable 32 bit int I be value 4
 write "{I}";        #write variable I
 
let player = struct{           #structs  mutable by default
   player hp: i32;                  #unused 32 bit int called hp
   player defence: i32;             #unused 32 bit int called  defence             
};

struct player:p1[hp = 100, defence = 10]; 

write "ill do your addition enter your numbers please";
let fbd num1:i32;
let fbd num2:i32;
scan(&num1, &num2);

do_my_addition(&num1, &num2);


};

Beginner Python Projects — Looking for Feedback

Hi everyone! I'm a beginner learning Python, and I recently built two small projects:

Number Guessing Game

Stone Paper Scissors Game

These were some of my first projects, and I mainly built them to practice Python basics, user input, conditionals, loops, and randomization.

I'd really appreciate feedback from more experienced Python programmers. What could I improve in terms of code structure, readability, or functionality?

I'm here to learn, so constructive criticism is very welcome!

I've been building a SQL learning platform for the past few months. It's called QueryCase and I'd love honest feedback

I've spent the last few months building something and I'm finally at the point where I want to share it properly rather than just quietly hoping people find it.

The idea came from a frustration I kept seeing (and feeling myself): SQL tutorials teach the syntax fine but there's never a reason to care about the answer. You filter a table called employees, get a result, and nothing happens. Your brain doesn't bother keeping it.

I wanted to try a different approach. QueryCase teaches SQL through detective investigations. You get a briefing from Chief Fox (our mascot), a real database to query, and a mystery to crack. The JOIN matters when a suspect has an alibi. The WHERE clause matters when you're trying to find who entered the building at 22:13. The SQL is the tool for solving something, not the point in itself.

Here's what's actually in it:

  • A structured learning path across 54 cases, going from Recruit through Rookie, Detective, Senior Detective, and Chief Detective. Each rank has drills and a level exam to pass before you progress.
  • Sandbox mode where you can explore real datasets (IMDB movies, Spotify, sports stats, Steam games) and run whatever you want with no pressure and no mystery attached. Just free exploration against actual data.
  • Everything runs in the browser using DuckDB WASM so there's nothing to install.

I'm a solo developer and this is genuinely early days. I'm sharing here because this community is exactly the kind of people I built it for, and I'd rather get honest feedback now than find out later I've built the wrong thing.

What's missing? What would make you actually stick with something like this versus what you've used before?

querycase.com if you want to take a look.

Any feedback appreciated!

Need advice

Hi I was trying to participate in a hackerthon with my team I had a good idea , it was a 8 hour hackerthon and my idea was too big to execute for it this is also my first hackerthon but my team friend came up with another idea which is not bad but my idea was dealing with current problem and there was also a good gateway to introduce as a startup idea but the problem is I have very no knowledge of execution I am not good at code currently in start of my 2 year in college . Now it feels like I am not that excited about this hackerthon anymore or I am just participating for experience so that I could learn something and carry out the responsibility of my dream on myself . The problem is that I was too ambitious I had big dream but not enough skill or resources to built knowledge about execution, secondly I am very bad at making good friends who are actually excited to make something or who pushes me too my limits so that we can grow together. I always wanted a group like this but let's see where life take ... If you have to comment on my story or you can guide me with resource from where i can learn all this it will be really great , also if you can add me where I can find some delusional like-minded people with whom I can talk or work with I would really appreciate it ...

I got tired of GitHub profiles all looking the same, so I built this

Open a random developer’s GitHub profile.
You’ll probably see:

Contribution graph.
Languages.
Repositories.
Commits.

I started wondering if a GitHub profile could show a little more of the person behind the code.

So I built Awesome GitHub Stats as an experiment.
It lets you create GitHub README cards for things like:

Gym streaks
Gaming hours
Reading progress
Learning progress

I also built a collection of 80+ GitHub-style Octicon badges that can be added directly to a README.
The cards render as SVGs, so they work like normal images inside GitHub profiles.

I’m not sure yet whether this solves a real problem or whether I just built something I personally thought was cool.
That’s what I’m trying to figure out.

Would you actually put something like this on your GitHub profile?

And if you could add one personal stat to your profile, what would it be?

Looking for coding Buddy to join my coding Roadtrip (zero experience)

I don’t think I have to say that much (besides I genuinely don’t really know what to say lol).
I’m a 19-year-old studying electrical engineering in Germany, and I’m looking for someone who’s kind of on the same level as me (level 0).

I’ve been trying to get into coding, but honestly, I’m getting pretty overwhelmed trying to figure out where to start, what to learn, what to build, etc.

I feel like there’s just so much information out there that I don’t even know what I should be focusing on first. I hope some of you can relate to the struggle I’m currently going through lol.

So I’m basically looking for someone who’s also a beginner and wants to learn together, work on small projects, struggle together and hopefully eventually build something actually useful.
As we say in Germany:
“Shared pain is half the pain.”

If you’re in the same boat, feel free to hit me up.
