That time that you pause to deeply think about the problem and how to solve it instead of handing it off to an LLM is where the real engineering and growth happen

You're building a backend for a greenfield project in 2026. Standard REST API stuff, but it needs to handle real time/live updates and queues. What stack are you reaching for?

Hello @x I’m Devin. A former dental surgeon turned full stack dev. Currently levelling up my backend/devops skills. I’m always learning something new (currently AI engineering and RAG). Looking to connect with fellow backend leaning engineers.

Sometimes we don't always get the UI right. It seemed intuitive to use, but the actual user flow comes down to the way users interact with the product. The beauty with code is that we can quickly push out a fix!
