Dev Korea

Wanted to dress as something truly terrifying this Halloween. So I went as HomeTax. 🏠💀 If you run a business in Korea, you know.

We aaaaaaareeeee liiiiiiiveeeee!!! @dev_korea

This is an event I had wanted to run for a long time. I kept coming back to the idea, but never really knew how to approach it, so I kept postponing it. On September 28, we finally did it at @dev_korea: Accessibility, live, at AWS Korea in Gangnam, with a bit more than 80 people. Most of us handle accessibility the same way: run the linter, check the contrast ratio, ship. Very few of us have ever watched someone actually use what we built with a screen reader. So we asked two blind and low vision professionals to show us, live. 👨‍💻 Inho Seo walked us through his day: KakaoTalk, maps, his IDE, SSH into a virtual machine, VS Code extensions, all by listening. I challenged him to go from his home screen to playing ANTIFRAGILE by LE SSERAFIM on YouTube. It took him about 20 seconds. And he had slowed his screen reader down so we could keep up. 🌐 Chan-Hong Kim couldn’t even reach a price filter on Coupang with a screen reader. With an agentic browser, the agent got it done. His takeaway: a more accessible web is a more agent-friendly web. Of all our events, this is the one where I saw the most people really listening.

90 devs, 4 demos, 1 trophy at Shipaton 2026: Seoul, hosted by @dev_korea with @RevenueCat 🏆 The stat that surprised me most from @github_skydoves's talk: hard paywalls convert 5x better than soft ones, but one year later retention is basically the same. 28% vs 27%.

That's a wrap on our second AI Salon x @dev_korea 🤖💻 Yesterday, we brought developers, founders, and fellow builders together at SVC Seoul for an evening of practical AI workflows and conversations. @ohgosu walked us through how he uses AI for creative research and production, connecting audience research with the screenshots, ads, content, and onboarding experiences people actually see. @chrisdeweese_ shared how he orchestrates AI agents to build apps and handle tasks across coding, operations, and computer use, including where these workflows can go wrong. What I really like about evenings like this is getting to hear how people use these tools in their day-to-day work. The workflows. The decisions. The things they've figured out along the way. And then having the chance to ask questions and exchange ideas in the same room. Thank you to SVC Seoul for hosting us, our speakers for sharing their work, everyone for helping make this event happen. ❤️ Looking forward to more evenings like this.

That's a wrap on the OpenSource AI Mixer with @dev_korea 🇰🇷🇨🇳💻 An evening bringing developers and AI builders together in Seoul to exchange ideas and connect across communities. Ming AI, joined by @_KleinHe_, @Lawted2, and An Lu, introduced @TheArchGlobal and shared a closer look at China's tech ecosystem. @ceciliaz030, founder of @aomi_labs, took us into agentic finance, exploring how AI agents can move from a user's intent to executing onchain transactions. What I really like about events like this is the chance to meet the people behind what we're reading about online. To hear what they're building, ask questions, and exchange perspectives in the same room. That’s a big part of why we keep bringing people together through Dev Korea. ❤️ Thank you to dcamp for hosting us, to our speakers for sharing their work, and everyone who helped make this event happen.
