Welcome Programmers!

programming.dev is a collection of programming communities and other topics relevant to software engineers, hackers, roboticists, hardware and software enthusiasts, and more.

The site is primarily english with some communities in other languages. We are connected to many other sites using the activitypub protocol that you can view posts from in the "all" tab while the "local" tab shows posts on our site.


🔗 Site with links to all relevant programming.dev sites

🟩 Not a fan of the default UI? We have alternate frontends we host that you can view the same content from

ℹ️ We have a wiki site that communities can host documents on


⚖️ All users are expected to follow our Code of Conduct and the other various documents on our legal site

❤️ The site is run by a team of volunteers. If youre interested in donating to help fund things such as server costs you can do so here

💬 We have a microblog site aimed towards programmers available at https://bytes.programming.dev

🛠️ We have a forgejo instance for hosting git repositories relating to our site and the fediverse. If you have a project that relates and follows our Code of Conduct feel free to host it there and if you have ideas for things to improve our sites feel free to create issues in the relevant repositories. To go along with the instance we also have a site for sharing small code snippets that might be too small for their own repository.

🌲 We have a discord server and a matrix space for chatting with other members of the community. These are bridged to each other (so you can interact with people using matrix from discord and vice versa.

These sort of problems are one of the many reasons you want to “pin” your application’s dependencies: make sure you only install a specific, fixed set of dependencies. Without reproducible dependencies, as soon as NumPy 2 comes out your application might break when it gets installed with new dependencies.

The really short version is that you have two sets of dependency configurations:

  • A direct dependency list: A list of libraries you directly import in your code, loosely restricted. This is the list of dependencies you put in pyproject.toml or setup.py.
  • A lock file: A list of all dependencies you rely on, direct or indirect (dependencies of dependencies), pinned to specific versions. This might be a requirements.txt, or some other file dependencies on which tool you’re using.

At appropriate intervals you update the lock file based on the direct dependency list.

I’ve written multiple articles on the topic, in case you’re not familiar with the relevant tools:
