About Bytes: A Tech Professional Community
Built by Developers, For Developers
For over two decades, we've been the place where tech professionals solve problems, share knowledge, and build their careers.
Our Story
What started as a simple forum for programmers has grown into Bytes, one of the internet's most enduring tech professional communities. Since our early days as TheScripts.com, we've been obsessed with one thing: helping software developers, IT professionals, and tech talent help each other—through Y2K, the dot-com boom, cloud revolution, big data emergence, and every wave of innovation shaping our industry.
Today, Bytes is home to over 420,000 members and more than 3 million posts spanning 50+ programming languages and technologies. From Python to .NET, from database optimization to cloud architecture, from data security to the latest development tools—our tech professional community shares bytes and bytes of expertise to help you master the technologies that matter.
We're not just a Q&A site. We're a career resource, a learning platform, and a professional network where meaningful connections happen daily. Some of our members have been with us since the beginning, watching technology evolve and evolving right alongside it.
Growing Together Through Technology and Community
The technology landscape is vast and constantly evolving—from cloud infrastructure to data security, from big data analytics to cutting-edge development tools. Software developers and IT professionals don't just need to keep up; they need to stay ahead through continuous learning and active community involvement.
Bytes is where tech talent comes together to share real-world experience with the latest tools and technologies. Our tech professional community helps you master cloud architectures, implement robust security practices, work with massive datasets, and adopt the newest development frameworks—all through peer knowledge sharing and collaboration.
Whether you're architecting data pipelines, securing cloud environments, optimizing databases, or exploring emerging technologies, our community of 420,000+ members shares bytes and bytes of practical expertise to help you grow, innovate, and excel in your career.
What We Stand For
Community First
Every feature we build, every decision we make starts with one question: "Does this help our community?"
Quality Over Quantity
We value thoughtful answers and genuine discussions over quick replies and vanity metrics.
Always Learning
Technology never stops evolving, and neither do we. Every day is an opportunity to learn something new.
Open & Accessible
Knowledge should be free and accessible. Our archives are open, searchable, and here to help everyone.

From TheScripts to Bytes
Many of you know us from our previous life as TheScripts.com. While the name has changed, our mission hasn't. We've evolved our platform to better serve today's developers while preserving the wealth of knowledge built over two decades.
Our modern forum at post.bytes.com combines the best of what made our community special with the tools and features developers need today. And this site? It ensures that none of the valuable discussions from our history are ever lost—every legacy URL redirects to the right place.
