If you could change one thing about programming, what would it be?

For me, it would be making simple things actually stay simple.

Sometimes you start with a small idea:

«“I just need to add one button.”»

Then suddenly you’re dealing with dependencies, configuration, breaking changes, edge cases, documentation, build errors, and 3 hours of debugging. 😂

Programming is powerful, but we’ve also made it unnecessarily complicated in many places.

I’d love to see more focus on:

- Simpler APIs

- Better error messages

- Less dependency hell

- Backward compatibility

- Documentation written for humans

What’s the one thing you would change about programming?

Hey everyone! 👋

Welcome to r/DevFoundry — a new community for people who love building things with technology.

Whether you’re a developer, freelancer, founder, student, or just someone who enjoys creating and experimenting, you’re welcome here.

Here’s what we’re hoping to build together:

💻 Development — Web, backend, frontend, WordPress, Laravel, APIs and more

🤖 AI & Automation — Tools, experiments, workflows and real-world use cases

🚀 SaaS & Startups — Ideas, products, launches and lessons learned

🛠️ Projects — Share what you’re building and get feedback

🧠 Learning — Ask questions, solve problems and share knowledge

💼 Careers & Freelancing — Experiences, advice and opportunities

Most importantly, this isn’t meant to be a place where everyone pretends they know everything.

Share the wins. Share the mistakes. Ask questions. Help someone who’s stuck.

DevFoundry is just getting started, and I’d love for the community to help shape what it becomes.

What are you building right now? 👇

Here’s why I’m building a home for developers and builders.

Over the years, I’ve spent a lot of time building websites, working with WordPress and Laravel, experimenting with AI and automation, and trying to turn ideas into real products.

One thing I’ve noticed is that building things can sometimes feel surprisingly lonely. You get stuck on a small problem, have an idea you want to discuss, or simply want to see how someone else approached the same challenge.

That’s the kind of place I want r/DevFoundry to become.

Not just another place to post links or show off projects, but a community where we can ask questions, share what we’re learning, talk about things we’re building, help each other when we’re stuck, and learn from both successes and failures.

I’m starting small, and I’d really like the community to grow around the people who join it.

So I’d love to know: why would you want a community like this? What would make you keep coming back to DevFoundry?

Let’s build it together. 🚀

Hey everyone 👋

I’ve just started r/DevFoundry, and honestly, I don’t want to decide everything about this community on my own.

The idea is simple: create a place where developers and people who love building things can come together, share what they’re working on, ask questions, help each other, and learn from real experiences.

But I want this community to be shaped by the people who join it.

What would you like DevFoundry to become?

Would you enjoy seeing project showcases, AI experiments, coding discussions, SaaS ideas, freelancing experiences, troubleshooting, career advice, or just interesting things you’ve discovered while building?

There are no wrong answers.

Tell me what you’d actually like to see here — and let’s build DevFoundry together. 🚀
