[Júlio Martins]

Hi there 👋

I'm a Fullstack Developer, previously at IBM, based in São Paulo, Brazil, looking forward to grow with the DEV community over here 🎉

Feel free to reach all over my social networks, and I'll soon post a lot of content over here as well 🪴

A matter of curiosity: I'm completely passionate about open-source, astronomy 🔭, and retro stuff 💾

[Thaísa Vieira]

Hello, Júlio! It's great to find some Brazillians here, be welcome!

[Tyrell Thomas]

Welcome! I can't wait to read your content here. What are some retro things you're passionate about? Is it tech, gaming, or something more general? 😊

[Júlio Martins]

Hey Tyrell! I love all kind of retro stuff, but specially tech (I've a Thinkpad x240 and some old Nokia's cell phones) and gaming (I had a console collection but I needed to sell it, so I'm looking forward to restart my collection in the future).

[Anita Olsen*°•.☆]

Hello! 👋 Astronomy and retro stuff are awesome! Much welcome to the DEV community! I hope you will like it here 😊

[Thomas Cansino]

Hi guys, I'm Thomas, I'm a civil engineer documenting my self-taught journey to full-stack web development.

I document them by writing blogs and posting vids on my youtube channel!

I'm new here and I wish to engage with all of you guys. :)

[Prakirth Govardhanam]

Hello Thomas! Welcome to the community 😊 I am a self-taught Developer in progress.
Documenting the journey is indeed a great idea! (which I have been procrastinating on) Time to do that 🖖🏾

[Thomas Cansino]

Thanks for the welcome Prakirth! You should definitely document your journey! It helps you retain information as it encourages active recall and you also leave a footprint which you can reference in the future!

[Prakirth Govardhanam]

Definitely! Couldn’t agree more. My problem is that all my documentation is scattered all over GitHub, personal notes, blog posts.. etc., need to aggregate all at one source. Any suggestions?

[Thomas Cansino]

My only suggestion is for you to rearrange it and if it's too many, a little every day goes a lot. While doing that, start uploading already despite skipping some of your journey since you're still arranging it. That way, you're establishing the habit of documenting already. It's the most important thing, imo.

[Chris Newton]

Hello World! 👋

I am currently studying Frontend developement part-time. I am looking for a career change that can enable me to create usefull web applications that can make peoples lives just a little bit easier. This is my first step on my journey and I am looking forward to meeting new people along the way!

[Thomas Bnt ☕]

Thanks Thomas!

Hello! 👋 Much welcome to DEV! I hope you will love it here!

[Daniel]

Hi folks 👋

I am a wannabe ethical hacker and chaos engineer. I was formerly a software architect and now I mainly work in security topics. Looking forward to good discussions and the opportunity to learn new things. 😊

[Anita Olsen*°•.☆]

Hello there! 👋 You got such a cool career! ✨ How did you get there?

I got an interest in etchical hacking as well! Today I completed the Introduction To Ethical Hacking course on Codecademy which I started on yesterday. I also enjoy hacking games like EXAPUNKS! I got a whole bunch of hacker games (a little over 30), some of them even look quite realistic like the Hacker Evolution series! (You may disagree).

Much welcome to our wonderful community! I am the unofficial welcome committee of one 😁 ✨

[Daniel]

Hi Anita

Cool, I didn't know that game yet!

The paths are often mysterious :) Actually, I've always been interested in security, but never had the energy to fully familiarize myself with it (I'm more of a 0% or 100% guy. I'm not good at anything in between). Then I got the opportunity and realized that there aren't that many people in the industry who can really program and know how developers think. I see the possibility that I can make a positive difference in my bubble. That gives me the energy :)

I am happy to be a part of DEV!

[TECNO Security]

Good job! We also need the security research! Would you like to join the TECNO Security Bounty program?

[Daniel]

You have started a partnership with HackerOne, right? Are your programs on the H1 platform, or still on yours?

[TECNO Security]

We don't work with HackerOne right now, but we have our platform, and you can check this out: security.tecno.com/SRC/blogdetail/...

We still need security on the Internet. You've got a tag (or even several) for that!

Don't be shy, welcome here Milan! 🥳
We have a great community and good posts here, feel free to follow some fellows and tags like

#sql Follow

Posts on tips and tricks, using and learning about SQL for database development and analysis.

#net Follow

#angular Follow

One of the world's most popular frontend JavaScript frameworks.

#javascript Follow

Once relegated to the browser as one of the 3 core technologies of the web, JavaScript can now be found almost anywhere you find code. JavaScript developers move fast and push software development forward; they can be as opinionated as the frameworks they use, so let's keep it clean here and make it a place to learn from each other!

[Dev Jariwala]
