What If We Started Our Own Little Tech Cult Here on DEV?

Shruti Shahi on November 13, 2026

Sometimes I wish someone would drop little tech tidbits throughout the day. Anything, really. From the most basic concepts to the really advanced ...

YAY, I think you should try it! 😸🙌

Here’s a tiny tech tidbit already

Rust ownership, super simply:

A value has one owner.

When the owner goes away, Rust cleans up the value automatically.

If you give ownership to something else, the original owner usually can’t use it anymore.

let a = String::from("cat");
let b = a;

// a can't be used here anymore
println!("{b}");

That’s basically the core idea behind ownership. 🦀

Of course it gets deeper with borrowing and lifetimes, but even intimidating topics can start from something this small.

I’d definitely enjoy an organization built around little explanations like this. Go for it! 😸

And this was kawaiii✨🖤

Yay it is for me

I am the founder and CEO of agi systems directorate

And I like to connect with other developers working in the field. And seriously for me it is something that I want. Since I have join this platform. I want to join some organisation aur whatever I was thought of creating my organisation to. But I was little bit of rates so I did not.

But I definitely like to join because it is also fine you know discussing topics and all that
And avoid the Messi syntax because I am typing this while in some kind of meeting

And avoid the message syntax because I am typing this thing from some kind of meeting

Most welcome Ananya! Happy to have you here, I'm glad you found this useful!✨

I see your post about LinkedIn and I can literally relate with that. Although it is not a good experience, previously my account... well, something happened in February after which I don't even use that platform at all, and I am definitely not going to talk about it right now because it is just not a good thing.

Anyways, avoiding that whole headache, what are you working on these days? What is your primary focus?

But seriously, being the founder and CEO is not so easy.

I'm not that yet so yes I can only imagine the amount of mental and emotional workload but, just know you're doing great! And yeah let's leave that linkedin stuff that site's basically bs. Rn, my tech stack is MERN+AI integrations. And I'm currently also a part of the DigiPivot cohort, was selected around september ig, and I'm working on a project called DevContext rn; it's basically something to solve a problem that i personally faced during my internship at Fareportal, like they didn't have any documentations and the code was lengthy and hella irritating to look at let alone learn. So, yeah, i'm making it with my original tech stack to solve the problem of understanding large codebases and having files looked at in an organised way. It has an ai agent that explains anything related to the code, tho i'm at the starting stage of developing and polishing it so haven't yet made a repo, will make it soon! And aside this all, i'm learning japanese out of my usual interest of animes but the annoyance of always reading subtitles made me start doing it with a bigger pupose, lol. But yeah, that's all about my day to day life, tons of hobbies, then this beautiful supportive community where i met such mindful people and the day ends with either brainstorming all night awake or sleeping merely for 3 hours with an alert head XD. How's your life going, mate? I'd love to hear your journey✨🙌🏻

check your mail, Ananya!✨

That actually sounds like a solid build, especially when you are solving a real headache you personally ran into during your internship. Having no documentation on a massive codebase is brutal, so building something to untangle that makes total sense.

On my end, at my company we mostly work to achieve Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), so everything I build is geared toward that. Right now I am working on Project Lumina, which is an autonomous AI agent using a fourth hybrid approach. It combines large language models and autonomous AI agents with robotics and human brain replication mechanisms, because we are trying to replicate the actual structure of the human brain. We are going to release Project Lumina very soon on Friday, with both the AAB and APK releases dropping.

As for my founder journey, it is honestly a very weird story. It actually started with YouTube videos of someone I really admire right now, not even a proper computer setup, and then the whole thing just took off accidentally. I cannot really fit the whole thing into a comment section, though I think I actually posted about it here before.

Since you are building DevContext with MERN and AI integrations to parse large, undocumented codebases, how are you handling context window limits and codebase indexing under the hood? Are you doing AST parsing or chunking files into a vector database before passing them to the agent?

And why did you said that I should check my email
And I think I have made this comment very long that is my mistake

Yay from me too. The small daily tidbit idea is lovely because it lowers the bar to learning something new without needing a whole tutorial. A rotating roster where members take turns posting would keep it fresh and give everyone a turn to teach. I would join.

Shruti Shahi • Nov 13

check your mail, pal!✨

Shruti Shahi • Nov 13

Exactly, thanks for your lovely comment, pal!✨

Great 👍🏻

Shruti Shahi • Nov 13

Alr let's do this!

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐚𝐳𝐲 𝐆𝐢𝐫𝐥 • Nov 13

Your plan?

Shruti Shahi • Nov 13

I'm thinking about the org members posting daily, like could be turn wise or whenever, and we could start by picking up any topic to explain in a creative, simple and fun way. Then we could try to learn new topic simultaneously while sharing about our learnings and the way we understood them. We can also ask for suggestions on next topics that could be part of the discussion from the people through comments. For now i have this raw idea. Sounds good? Add or change anything you want.
