I am a retired software engineer with 50++ years of experience, primarily in the C languages, C++, C# .Net. I have experience in Windows, Unix, and Linux. Just four years older than NASA, I've been interested in crewed spaceflight beginning with NASA's Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, and Space Shuttle through today's spaceflight systems. I have witnessed two final crewed spaceflights, the American half of Apollo/Soyuz in July 1975, and the final Space Shuttle launch in July 2011; I also saw Atlantis land for the final time next to the control tower of the Shuttle Landing Facility, 200 yards from the runway.
Photography is another creative outlet that I have enjoyed since 1980. I started with the Canon A-1 (which still works), one of my bucket list cameras: Canon F-1N in July 2013, and Canon 's DSLR, EOS-5D III (December 2013).
I married the year that the Voyager space probes were launched. Our kids are the four-legged kind, Beagles; we have competed in obedience and confirmation.
Welcome to DEV!
Thank you.
Great to have your experience here Ralph!
Thank you.
Welcome here 👋
Welcome to DEV. I like photography too. If you want something entirely different I can recommend getting into Large format especially if you have bucket loads of time. It's a nice feeling get back to basics though in hindsight I wish I'd done medium format as an intermediary step.
Hi Daniel,
A 4×5 monorail is one of my "bucket list" cameras. Also on that list, Mamiya 645 and RB67 or RZ67. I bought one of my bucket list cameras in July 2013, Canon F-1N with AE Motor Drive FN and AE Finder FN. I have multiple bucket lists:
Welcome to Dev! Photography is one of my hobbies.
Welcome to DEV ❤️🎉
Yes, NASA is the first which forge the definition of digital twin.
That's awesome!
Hello sir, I want to you learn more from as you old software engineer developer.
Oh my god, that is so nice, I am a young person 13 yo. I am still learning what do you have advice for me? and thank you.
Hello everyone.
Hope you are doing well :).
If you want to learn more about SQL you can check this article my profile.
Heyo Lucas!
Just a heads up that you can embed posts in comments if you wanna link to a specific post. To do so, you just use this syntax for example
{% embed https://dev.to/yet_anotherdev/postgres-concurrency-what-could-go-wrong-part-1-1fmf %}and it appears like:Postgres Concurrency : What could go wrong (part 1)

All this said, you may not have wanted to link to a single post but instead were pointing folks to your profile. If that's the case this also works for profiles —
{% embed https://dev.to/yet_anotherdev %}makes:Lucas Barret
And then of course, there's also the chance that just didn't wanna do this at all, in which case feel free to just ignore me, haha! 😆
TIL ! Many thanks Michael 🤓
You are very welcome, Lucas! Glad this helped. 🙌
Welcome Lucas here 👋
Thanks Thomas, seems we are both French ! Let's connect whenever you want :D
Oooh 🌱🙌🏼
Hello everyone Just a friendly developer that wants to connect to as much developers as possible
Welcome to DEV.
its Good to be here
Great to have you Edih!
its Good to be here can I connect with you so we can check out each other's content
Welcome ! ✨
Hello everyone!
I hope this message finds you all in high spirits. Allow me to introduce myself as a DevOps Specialist based in Toronto and proudly a member of the AWS Community Builders program.
Now, let's dive into some fun facts about me:
Firstly, I am an ardent lover of football/soccer. The thrill of the game and the camaraderie it brings truly excites me.
Secondly, I have a deep fascination for IoT (Internet of Things) and the endless possibilities it offers in connecting devices and revolutionizing our daily lives.
Thirdly, I have a strong affinity for the vast world of Big Data. The ability to extract valuable insights and make data-driven decisions is something that captivates me.
And last but not least, let's not forget my mischievous side. I thoroughly enjoy the art of applying and, yes, occasionally "destroying" infrastructures using Terraform. It's like a puzzle that challenges me and brings out my inner explorer.
I'm excited to be part of this community and look forward to engaging with all of you.
Feel free to reach out if you share any of these interests or simply want to connect and chat.
Cheers to a fantastic journey ahead!
Hi folks, hope you're well. According to my profile, I've been a member for 4 years (!) but only just started engaging, due in part to #GithubHack23
Keen to branch out and really get into blog-writing as a whole (if for no other reason than to remind myself of things when I inevitably forget!)
Woot! I'm glad to hear that you're digging the hackathon and that it's pulled ya in closer to the community. 🙂
And hey, never too late to start blogging... you're right that it can be a super handy way to store your knowledge. And really, sometimes writing and explaining something is the best way to hold onto the info — it kinda cements it into your brain!
Definitely agree, and it's great practice for writing documentation as well, but structured in such a way to be open and approachable to anyone. Though that's easier said than done!
Great point! It really does help with those documenting skills.
And I soooo agree with the easier said than done part. You might've seen some posts on flow state out there... I think that is really applicable to writing to. Once the flow of ideas start it's not too bad, but getting into that space of mind can be tough.
Hey, I'm Phil!
I'm software developer turned product manager with a few hobbyist projects on the go - mostly small websites for local organizations and charities. I'm particularly keen on SSR/static websites to keep things nice and speedy but I'm also learning Svelte as I was blown away by Rich Harris' initial demo.
Professionally, I'm the new Senior Product Manager at Forem - so I get to spend my days helping make DEV a better place. I'm always open to ideas and suggestions so feel free to drop me an email at philip[at]forem.com.
Look forward to seeing what everyone gets up to on DEV!
Hey Philip, I'm also software developer who has transition to Product mgt. Currently working as a technical product manager. Its nice having you here. Welcome to devto.
Welcome!
Hi there, I am a semi-retired developer, with 20 years in the banking industry and 14 more in many other areas. Long time Microsoft coder, from C in the 80s, C++ in the 90s and then on to ASP.NET using C#. Consider myself a full-stack developer, have a lot of SQL and BI experience too.
Left my job to pursue a dream of building a web community for musicians and artists, with future connectivity with many other areas of the local music scene. When I can local, I mean "wherever-you-are-in-the-world" local. I recently published the web app in BETA, so if you're a musician anywhere from a beginner to professional, please check out the site.
It's called SoundCheck, have a look! soundcheck12.co/
PS. My latest endeavours are integrating more Azure functionality and the ever-present daily "fun" with GIT. I gotta say being a one-man shop sure helps with branching woes!
Hello all! The name's Vince, a he/him.
I am currently based in Colchester in the UK. My day job is managing 11 people in a software technical support team (2nd/3rd line support) for a company called Civica.
In my spare time, I like to mess around with SBC's like the Raspberry Pi. I like to tinker with things that show! So displays, LED's and the like.
I like stats and graphs, so speedtesting and logging is on thing I do and talk about a LOT!
When I am not sat infront of a computer, I will be wathing Star Trek, Star Gate, NCIS, 9-1-1 or simular type shows.
Finally I do like to take photos of things around me. So I share the best that I take and hide the rest!
According to Midjourney this is what I look like:
Please allow me to introduce myself. I am an engineer interested in robotics, AI and all types of automation. I am mostly a machine head with a background in mechanical and electrical design. I am more involved in programming to make machines work and turn their data into useful artifacts. This looks like a great site. I cannot believe I didn't find it sooner.
Awww yeah! Great to have ya with us here. 🙌
I don't know if you like to write or not, but I would love to see some posts on robotics and engineering.
I'm really into music and like seeing folks work on synthesizers and odd instruments. It's kinda, sorta, maybe engineering related... haha, you're speaking with a Creative Writing major, so I'm not the most technical even though I enjoy having my brain stretch by this stuff.
Anyway, as an example, I really love the YouTube channel LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER where the host builds all sorts of wacky music-making tech... and despite the name, he does do some programming from time to time. For instance, here he is working on a church organ and making it communicate via midi:
Hi everyone. I am a software engineer with about 25 years of experience. Currently working in an primarily Microsoft environment. I use .Net Core, SQL Server, C#, ASP.Net MVC Core, Azure Devops. We do use Vue.js/Typescript/Javascript for our front end & deploy to docker, linux containers. I do have a love for stuff that I can't use on a daily basis like functional programming, golang, rust, ect...
