Hi all, I'm an electrical engineer / MBA by education; spent the last decade working in industrial automation writing software mostly on embedded systems. Looking to brush up on some "traditional" software; currently reviewing Python, some cloud tools (AWS, K8S), etc. Cheers!

Welcome, Vladimir. Saw you on Twitter :) π
Hi there! Welcome to the DEV community! I hope you will like it here!
Welcome to the DEV community! Have fun learning python :)
hi
Hello
Hello hello, Iβm Jeff Spurlock and I was looking up an answer to an issue, hoping to get stack overflow, and coming across a dev.to link. Thought βthis is interestingβ and dug into it. Iβm hoping to replace my Reddit habit with this community, because half of my Reddit feed is programming related but then I get a bunch of other shit in there too. Plus I like the long form nature of many of the posts here.
Iβm the Sr. Full Stack Web Developer for a mid sized corporation (that will remain nameless for now) that does over the counter pharmaceuticals and vitamins & supplements. Iβm also working on launching a freelance agency for a side hustle. I my preferred tech stack is Node/Nitro/Nuxt/Vue, but I also do a hell of a lot with Shopify.
What Iβm learning is that Iβm happiest when Iβm coding all day. My ideal job is one where someone gives me mockups and assets and says βhere build thisβ and I can just build it. Iβm sick of meetings with vendors and stakeholders and doing billing/financial shit. I want to get to a place in my career where Iβm just building day in and day out.
Fun fact about meβ¦ hm. I only have 7 fingers after an off-roading accident 10 years ago. Iβm a book nerd. I live in Omaha. Apple fan boy. Eh. I dunno. Thatβs about it

Greetings, Jeff Spurlock! π Much welcome to the DEV community! We are happy to have you! π
Hi, welcome to DEV! Sorry to hear about your off-roading accident, that must have been painful :(
Hope you can find a place where you can code all day, with no meetings π
Physical therapy during the recovery was more painful than the accident. And then wrestling with addiction to pain killers after taking them for years after the accident was also an ordeal. Oddly, the accident itself was the βeasyβ part. Something I learned is that thereβs such a finality to events like that; car accident, stroke, anything sudden like thatβ¦ that thereβs basically no other route other than acceptance. But recovery, there are many paths to navigate, pitfalls to avoid, and natural consequences to deal with.
Ultimately, it was 10 years ago now. I hardly remember life before. I was 24 at the time; married, no kids. I was in probably the best stage of life to adapt to a major change like that.
I will say, I miss playing drums. I used to be in bands, and even gigged professionally around LA for income while I was in college. Thereβs a βrushβ you get when youβre performing in front of people that coding from a desk doesnβt get you. Granted, those dopamine hits when you finally find the bug or get something working properly is its own kind of rush. But I think itβs the performing aspect I miss more than the drumming in and of itself.
do you have any words for someone in a coding bootcamp who is hoping to somehow crack into this field with limited resources

Hello everyone,
I'm Aayush, a recent graduate with a double major in software engineering. I love coding, especially in Java, Python, and .NET C#. I'm eager to learn and enhance my skills in full-stack development while collaborating with talented and like-minded teams here. Excited to be here!
Hello Aayush! Welcome to the DEV community! I love it here and I hope you will like it here as well! π
Thank you so much Anita for the warm welcome! I'm really excited to be a part of the DEV community. It seems like a fantastic place with a lot of passionate and talented individuals. I'm looking forward to connecting with like-minded people, learning, and sharing experiences. If you have any tips or recommendations for getting started, I'd love to hear them! π
Hey all, I'm a 53 yo family guy from Kentucky USA. Years ago I was a network engineer, RHCE certified, worked at RedHat for a time, and was one of the developers for the LPIC2 certification. I was simultaneously involved with Debian GNU/Linux project for a time as well. Did all this while I was in the US Army so it was not my central focus, though quite definitely a passion.
Over the years I sort fell off the tech radar. I worked for some pretty big names once I got out of the Army, but life took me in a different direction for a long time and away from technology.
I'm back after probably 7 or 8 years focusing on my family. Now, I need to refresh my skillsets, learn some new ones, and basically looking to do more than build barebones, or manage networks.
I want to code. I'm heavily drawn to Ruby, Ruby on Rails, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Sort of miss my bash and perl days but not much. I love taking ideas in the head and making them appear in the real world even if its just on the screen. I like rolling ulp my sleeves and diving in even if I don't know a dang thing about any of it. I'm not afraid to learn on the fly. Heck, most of the knowledge we gain in this world is learned on the fly! Am I right, lol?
I try to stay away from politics. I don't do the pronoun/gender/whatever the latest craze thing at all. Personally, I don't really care. If you know what you're doing, or you're learning new stuff like I am, I am more than happy to chat, study together, or work on projects together. Just be a friend, and I'll be one too.
As a side note, if you can't tell from the length of this, I like to chat. Helps meet people, discover new ways of doing things and looking at things, and just the banal everyday stuff like your cat was snoozing and fell off the window sill is cool stuff for me. Lets have fun, hammer problems out together, or just kick back and have fun while we work on our individual projects (or even together). Most times I'm chasing after my 7yo daughter or my 3yo granddaughter while working on tutorials or some new idea I have.
Hopefully that fits in here! Look forward to the BS chats and code discussions!
Hello Deryl,
Even though I am trying to shift into full-stack development, I am currently working as a system software engineer. I started my career just two months ago, having graduated in 2023. The main aspect of my current role is in the networking domain at my company. In the past two months, I have completed a project related to Iptables and nftables.
In turn, I can offer assistance with ChatGPT, web development, and full-stack development. It would be a great conversation with you regarding networking domain and gaining insights to progress in my career.
Thanks,
Anil Gowda M
Welcome to DEV!
PS I know squat about Artificial Intelligence, but it intrigues me. I've messed with ChatGPT some but not a whole lot. I dont even know the buzzwords yet! lol
Definitely something I'll be pursuing.
