Hey folks, I would like to reintroduce myself. I have actually been a member of DEV since almost the beginning (To the best of my knowledge, DEV launched in October 2016 and I joined in February). I am currently a Developer Experience Engineer at LaunchDarkly. I've been in developer relations (aka DevRel) for about 12 years and before that a developer for over decade.
I also run a bunch of my own communities, both in-person and virtual. I run CFE.dev, which hosts free virtual presentations, interviews, conferences and workshops. If you are in the Orlando, Florida, area, I run OrlandoDevs, which is the largest developer meetup in the area but also a not-for-profit working to help develop and support the Orlando developer community.
Best place to find me on social nowadays is on Mastodon.
Exciting to re-welcome a long time member :)
You had some (very fair) feedback on Twitter a while back about our spam problem which had begun really flaring up in Mid-2022. Just wanted to mention that I appreciate you sharing your thoughts at that point, and sticking around in general. We actually shared your tweet internally at that point with the team as extra motivation to rally folks around tackling the problem.
We've been working hard on this problem and have been making some really solid strides.
Thanks again 👋
Thanks. You all have done a ton to improve that situation and I can imagine how difficult it must be to manage having such a large community. I've continued to be a big fan and participate but it's even more enjoyable now that this has improved so much.
Impressed.......
Wohoo! Welcome back. Like you I was also there during the beginning. I think at the time it was per invitation? I don't remember anymore.
I used LaunchDarkly before. Nice tool!
Great to have you back (and I love the cfe.dev domain as well)!
Hello 👋
hello
Hello DEV community!
I’m Andrew and I’m currently an unemployed developer with about 5 years of work experience. I recently got laid off in April but have been in good spirits and trying to take this time to improve. I enrolled in a boot camp in 2017 with an emphasis in Full Stack Development. After that I spent a year in IT development and 4 years shifting between web and iOS development. While my last job was enjoyable in terms of culture and benefits, I had a hard time feeling secure since I wasn’t tied down to one language.
I trained in C#, worked in VB.Net and a little Python at my first job, then switched between PHP, Liquid, Swift, and a little React at my second job. I know now I shouldn’t worry that about learning multiple languages. My plan is to focus on the one I feel strongest in and hope to translate the fundamentals into another that I want to explore. I still have imposter syndrome galore when trying to learn l, which makes me anxious but I know if I focus hard on one project, I can make it through.
Part of me wants to explore game development since I do have a love of video games but I know I want to break out of this brain fog first. I have a love for geek culture, books, animation, games, and animals. Would love to hear if anyone has similar interests and if you have ideas of how you implement that into your work.
Thanks folks!
Hey Andrew, welcome to DEV. I have been learning to code since first year of my college. Honestly I don't have any advice to give but will say go get that job first, I'm sure you'll find one soon. I can relate to your interest for game dev. I started with basic web development and then for 6 months tried game development. But later dropped game dev. I also loved video games from early childhood but the bad things I've heard about the work culture in gaming industry changed my mind. Also I was confused should I go this path, will I be able to make huge impact. Definitely will try to build a game sometime again in free time and see how it goes.
Welcome to DEV!!
hey Andrew, welcome to the community!
Hi!
I'm also a fan of geek culture, and so I understand your interest towards game development.
Unfortunatly, I don't have any tips for you as I learned coding as a hobby, and thus don't know much about the job market.
However, I hope you are able to find your true potential, and don't worry about trying different things before choosing your true calling.
Hi Andrew!
Keep your head up. With your experience it will work out eventually. What’s the language you are strongest in?
I feel strongest in PHP and JavaScript. At my last job, we were pretty short handed when it came to devs so I was brought in to help with iOS apps as well. Can't really say I was in love with learning Swift however.
Welcome to DEV!
This is great. Thanks for sharing.
Don't feel too down about being laid off, you'll do better and land in a better job when you decide what you're ready to do and what language you choose to focus on. Good luck mate!
Almost! In the same situation!
Helllloooo there! 👋🏽
My name is Rita Bradley and I've actually been here for a while. I don't utilize the platform as often as I should though, so I'm hoping to start changing that. The reason I don't use the platform is I guess I feel I don't have much to offer the DEV community at large since I took a long break from development, and now spend my time trying to relearn things and catch up to the current state of development.
I'd consider myself a veteran beginner. 😆 I know stuff, but feel like I don't know anything, if that even makes sense. Before my sabbatical, I worked front-end for two different companies and loved it, but these days I'm trying to focus my efforts on being a Fullstack JavaScript Developer with a particular interest in home automation and cybersecurity. I feel like those two things REALLY go hand in hand. I wanna have cool gadgets to automate my home, but I also don't want those gadgets hacked and now I end up locked out of my house with the alarm going off and music blaring.
When I'm not having an existential crisis over my imposter syndrome and extreme introversion, I can be found binge watching true crime documentaries, getting fat off my own cooking, and playing with my dog. I've also tried my hand at maintaining houseplants, with my ultimate goal of having a place where I can have a full blown garden.
I'm not really sure what to write about on here (or anywhere really), but I'll definitely start putting forth more of an effort to contribute instead of just reading/liking articles. If you made it to the end, thanks for reading. Hope to interact with y'all again very soon.
Hey Rita! I know ya said you haven't written much on DEV yet — that's no worries at all... but, I just wanted to say that your writing is super entertaining and when you mentioned your interest in home automation that definitely caught my attention!
I love reading personal stories about folks hacking away at their smart home set up. You said you like gardening which makes me think of the series Greenhouse Telemetry by @rossdrew. Anyway, if ya get ito writing more it might be a good inspiration!
You may also dig checking out @devdevcharlie's writing. While I don't know if I'd always call it home automation, she writes so many cool makerly articles — controlling devices in the physical world and stuff like that.
Charlie Gerard
You definitely got a strong natural written voice and I hope you continue to flex those skills here on DEV whether it's in a full blown post or just through interacting with others in comments.
Oh, it's nice to hear someones reading my stuff @michaeltharrington, if that interested you I would recommend a friend of mines similar post; Neil Galls Pirragor Series.
Woot! Heck yeah. So nice to hear from ya here, Ross. That really was a great series you wrote up and this one of Neil's looks awesome as well.
And hmmm... might be cool to collect all these automated gardening posts together so folks can check them out. I'm gonna keep that idea in my back pocket for the future. 🌱
Been meaning to get back to it. I have so much more to say but not much time to tidy everything up ready for a post. Too busy growing chillies & tomatoes :P
What kind of chile peppers and tomatoes are you growing? I live where I can’t plant anything in the ground, so I garden vicariously through others. Haha
I don't plant in the ground. I grow them in pots. Currently I'm growing gardeners delight & tigerella tomatoes and jalepeno, cayenne, habanero, scotch bonnet and carolina reaper peppers.
Yum!! I'm all about the spicy peppers. We got some jalapeno, habanero, and poblano peppers growing in buckets right now. Bring on the heat! 🌶
I've ramped up over the years from Jalepenos (which I use to smoke my own chipotles) through cayennes and added more and more spicy varieties as I've gone. Ultimately they all end up in hot sauce experiments.
@michaeltharrington Thanks so much for the kind words and the resources/inspiration! I’ll be sure to check them out very soon. I think there was an episode of Mr. Robot where they hacked some lady’s security system and then partied in her house, and I was like… “We’ll this show already has me wanting to be a hacker, and I work for a home automation company… why not try both?” And then I went on to pursue neither one lol.
Maybe it’s time I get my crap together.
Hey Rita , welcome to dev
Its totally fine having imposter sydrome as a beginner , even people with years of experience feel this at one time or the other - what i mean to say is its totally fine to have it though you should not let that come in between your learning and exploration .
Learn something everyday and keep going .thats the part of this game and when you look back and reflect - you would see yourself at much better place than you used to .
so yeah have fun , learn , explore what you are interested in and i am sure you would love it .
Fullstack js developer feels like a great option to me .
@__junaidshah Thanks for the welcome! Like I said, I’ve been here for a few years actually, I just rarely post or comment and I just read/like articles. I also already have 5-6 years of development experience under my belt, but taking a break for my mental health kind of gave me a new world to explore in and catch up on so it’s like a rebirth almost ya know?
If after all this time I still feel like an imposter among us devs, I’m sure I’ll always feel that way. Haha. I actually saw a tweet from Tejas Kumar touching on the subject and he’s been at this for forever. So I get it, I just sincerely hope it gets easier over time.
I totally felt the same way when I joined Dev.to, but you have a unique story and perspective meaning you have plenty to offer - be it through posts, comments, or encouragement! 💖
Thank you so much. I think a lot of times I just get writer’s block and haven’t the foggiest idea what to write about. Then I start worrying about things that haven’t happened yet like how to transfer a post from here to my personal blog or vice versa when the reality is, I don’t even have my personal blog set up yet haha.
I think for now I’ll just engage more in the comment section until I feel more confident.
Looking forward to it!
Your use of bolding to make sure your writing is accessible at a glance makes me think you'll do well writing here 😆
Well that just made my day! 🥹Thank you so much!
I am also full stack JS and I am starting to play with electronics for home automation, amongst other things like MIDI controllers.
Nice to meet you!
Welcome everyone!
Please consider hunting down a post you find valuable and leave a thankful comment.

Welcome to DEV, Chico.
Good to have you here.
Hi! Im Tasha a teacher learning code on the side to launch into a second career. It is taking me a while but I know it will be worth it and also I am interested to see how web development will grow and chanfge as a result of AI.
Hi Tasha! Welcome to Dev.to and huge congrats on starting your coding journey! 💖 If you're ever looking for inspo stories, the founder of FreeCodeCamp.org also was a teacher (I think he taught English?) who learned to code - def check out his story if you haven't!
Hey Tasha. Good to have you here.
So cool that you are a teacher but also learning to code. I can see AI helping web development become more expressive and creative.

I appreciate 😊
Hey there Dev.to!
I suppose I never did one of these when I joined either... I am a Software Engineer at Microsoft! Been doing mostly JavaScript, but also C# and even (if you can believe it), ColdFusion back when I graduated from MTSU here outside of Nashville, TN 13 years ago. We're still here in Nashville, and I work remotely with a team of amazing folks from all over the globe including Vancouver, Redmond, Oslo, Nairobi, and Hyderabad.
Over the last 5 years I've gotten really involved in the JavaScript tooling space, what we like to call "". It's a super fun area to be involved in since it's such a hybrid of work involving CI/CD, infrastructure, application architecture, bundlers, transpilers, linters, and so much more. I'm a huge fan of Typescript as well!
I tweet @jcreamer898, am here on Dev.to, as well as x-posting on my own personal blog jonathancreamer.com/.
Definitely stay in touch! I love being involved in the community, and am on a continual learning, and networking journey.
Ghost good cms for dev bloggers. By the way which hosting you are using?
Oww, Microsoft. Good good.
Hi, I am Tcg, I am an engineer, mom of two teens, that is looking for her next career. In another year both our kids will be in college (or at least out of highschool!) My first career as an environmental/civil engineer was probably not the right choice for me. I stuck with it for the retirement and health benefits once we started a family. But now I am feeling free to explore other career options and hope to find something that will bring more personal satisfaction and finally feel successful in my second career. I have been working as an engineer for a public sector drinking water utility for 18+ years. I finally like what i do there now ("special projects" I call them). I struggle with writing boring technical documents but can write a mean focused letter :). I love organization, streamlining and making things easier for others in our organization, as well as working with data. I get also get a high when I get to investigate something. Something about the hunt for information and solving the mystery, I think. Anyhow some article written by a computer engineer that also has ADHD....did I mention I have (recently diagnosed) ADHD?!? Well it finally makes sense why I struggled so badly with simple but boring or repetitive tasks and writing technical documents in my first consulting world job after college and i still hate it today. Cheers!
Welcome to DEV!!
Dave here. I first learned to program in BASIC in 1980. I've used programming on my job, which is to control the air conditioning and heating systems in hospitals. I began at the beginning of the pandemic to increase my skills on the newer technologies, just because.
My current work and studies are in React, Angular, Vue, Java, Kotlin, Rust, and still my favorites, C/C++.
Dave does not do pretty. Dave does orderly and functional. C is good for orderliness.
C is certainly an orderly language. No complaints there!
Welcome aboard, Dave!
Greetings! My name is Brian and I am a retired former software engineer. I've had experience programming, administering systems running a variety of operating systems, I've written architecture, design, development, and test planning documents, and I spent the later years of my career testing software in the computer, automotive, and financial services areas.
Most of the software and tools that the Dev community uses at this stage are pretty new to me, so I'm mostly here for the curiosity and the interest of what this community does.
I'm very much a Linux software enthusiast, so what I do as a retiree is I try out many different "distributions", particularly those that work with both old and recent vintage hardware; I've been fortunate to pick up a few systems that other people were ready to discard. I put some Linux software on them, put new life into them, and I use them for two purposes: 1) I help test a Linux distribution for what would otherwise be "trash heap" systems; it's called antiX; it's particularly popular in third world regions, but people worldwide use it because it's lean, efficient, flexible and configurable. 2) I've given away a couple of systems that I've custom configured for people; I ask them how they use the computer, then I make it simple for them by configuring the exact tools or network sites - news, shopping, or whatever, that they use, so while I'm not building state of the art systems with the latest stuff, I'm making computers practical for people who may otherwise either not know how to use them or can't afford to use them, so instead of fancy technology, I share something practical with them. Hopefully many of you who DO use the current technology also think of others and how you can help them out, and maybe somewhere along the way you can make or give something to someone in need.
That's my story; no longer a cutting edge developer, though that was one of my interests a long, LONG time ago. These days I simply try to be helpful, and I still enjoy learning about the latest developments and methods that the current generation of developers use.
Wow! The work you're currently doing sounds awesome — it's both practical and mindful. I love the ethos behind creating software that is accessible to folks with older machines. If you decide to write about things like this that you're working on, I'd love to read it!
And, if you write about making software for vintage tech, I think there's a lotta community members here there that would enjoy that. Just like you enjoy learning about the latest developments, I think there are plenty of folks out there who would dig learning more about the old school stuff.
Thank you. I'll write about a few of the things that I have done since I have retired and the couple of small projects that are in the works.
As far as the tail end of my career, that's definitely relevant; a few veteran engineers who understand the legacy systems and some younger senior engineers to orchestrate the new development and maximize the interaction between the veterans and the young, skilled engineering with the cutting edge technology.
Welcome to the community, Brian! It's wonderful to have someone with your wealth of experience, and diverse background join us. Your journey as a retired software engineer and passion for Linux software is truly inspiring. Your efforts to configure custom systems for others and make technology accessible to those in need demonstrate the true spirit of community and compassion. We appreciate your willingness to share your knowledge and continue learning about the latest developments in the field.
We look forward to benefiting from your wisdom and insights.👍🏾

Hey Everyone, I would like to reintroduce myself. I am David a Software Engineer at TCN. I've been here for a few years and got started by blogging about my Android experience. Havent posted much recently, but hoping to get back into it with my more recent fullstack experiences though. Thanks to everyone that posts regularly, I really enjoy reading through the articles.
Hey David! Nice to meet ya and glad to hear that you're thinking about getting back into blogging. Hope you dig DEV and see ya around the community!
Hey folks, reintroduction here! I've been on dev.to for a few years now and use it for casual learning.
I've been coding professionally for about 6 years now. 5 years as an SDET, and the past year as a Mobile Developer with a focus on Android. Although I have a minor in CS circa 2007!
I started off in software as a support analyst (eventually supervisor) and then within a few years shifted to QA. I spent about 10 years in QA before the shift to the development side of things.
My current interests are Android, Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, and Espresso. However, I am fairly experienced in languages like Java, Groovy, JS, and tools like Selenium, Appium, Playwright, Wiremock and RestAssured.
Outside of work and programming, I love playing video games, miniature war games, board games, guitar, and above all of these, spending time with my family.
I also run a small community called "Quality, Inspired" which focuses on quality informed software development and positive mental health. If that interests you, feel free to reply or send me a message!

Hiya all!
I joined DEV back in 2019 and thoroughly enjoy reading the articles here.
I have been a Software Engineer for almost 25 years and a Team/Engineering Manager for about 20 years, starting with COBOL and moving on to Game Development and then Web Dev, and now I am looking at venturing into iOS and macOS development.
I am currently Head of Engineering for an AI MarTech company based in the UK, and I currently reside in South Africa. I have held positions from Tech Lead, CTO and Engineering Manager. As much as I enjoy writing code, the people aspect is just as interesting and rewarding. Currently working on a side hustle SaaS platform for Engineering Managers. More out of a collection of tools I use for myself.
I love Ruby, JS/TS, Python and architecting APIs, the tools I use frequently are Roda, Sequel, ExpressJS and Rails.
One day I will publish here :)
When I am not behind a monitor, binge watching series, reading and scuba diving take up my time.
Thanks all!

Hello all, my name is David McCorkle and I'm brand new to DEV and the coding world in general. I'm eager to learn and thrilled to start this exciting journey, if anyone has any tips or points I'd love to hear it!
Gray to have you David!
Thank you so much! very glad to be here
Hi DEV, I've always been a viewer here, but not yet a poster. I'm a Brazilian backend developer focused in Java and Kotlin, which I use everyday in my job, but I love Rust (thanks to this community that made me grow interest in it) and learning its quirks made me a better developer.
I've been trying for some months to write an article about my favorite project PDFCrate that is a library to make easy creating PDFs in Kotlin or Java, it has a permissive license (other libs usually use AGPL, which is a little agressive IMO), it uses PDFBox underneath and is component-based, you add the components to the document object, render and voilá, you got your PDF.
Also I'm working in a database manager in Rust, I just need to improve the code a little to make my repo open, it is simples buy is very easy to use and pretty lightweight
If you read everything, please visit my GitHub and check my little projects in there
Great to have you Gabriel
Hello everyone. I am Nonso Amadi from Nigeria, I am a site reliability engineer proficient in golang, typescript, bash and k8s.

Welcome Nonso!
Hey all! 👋 Quick intro, as I've not done one before! I'm an independent developer and consultant, focusing on .NET, Azure, K8s, Docker, etc. I host the Unhandled Exception Podcast; have a relatively new YouTube channel; and also run a .NET user-group called .NET Oxford. I've also just started a monthly dev newsletter. I'm @dracan on Twitter, and hang out on Discord (both the podcast and user-group have their own Discords).
Thank all! 🙂🙏
I feel great when I read other people's stories. I'm Susy, and I joined not long ago, and i'm happy to read that there are people who have my similarities. I worked in two different airports for many years, and thought it was time to change and pursue my dreams and leave an extremely toxic environment that was destroying my brain. So I signed up with a coding school, in class with a bunch of 20 year-olds... and it was fun. Didn't learn much because you can't teach 6 different languages in 9 months, but i'm still studying and coding all day long and love it!!!!! I am working on my portfolio, hope that when i finish it, someone could give me some good advice about it. ☺☺☺
Hi! Mick here. Creative front-end developer for a long while now :) Not sure how long I been with DEV but I really like the articles I can pick to read to add that every bit of needed edge :) Creative in the sense I can also design and UX, but really do a lot of front-end work. I use React/Typescript daily for a booking/maps platform.
Excited to re-introduce myself!

Hi everyone!
Welcome to the dev.to-community!
I'm Martin, and I worked as a Senior Front End Architect and Engineering Manager at one of the world's largest digital agencies, where I led Front End Teams for international projects. After 15 years, I quit my job. Now I travel the world as a professional scuba diver, work as a freelance Front End Tech Lead and technical Recruiter for international clients. Besides that, I write about technology.
My latest book about Modern Full Stack development will be published in October by No Stach Press. It's an easy, hands-on introduction to creating web applications with Next.js, MongoDB and Mongoose (there's currently a 25% Discount!). You can read more about how to become a published author in my upcoming article about writing books.
On dev.to I'm publishing a weekly periodical, the "WebDevDigest: A curated list of the top five web development must-reads from last week", which keeps you up to date on current web development trends and "LevelUp: Elevate your Career Today" where I give Career and Interview advice based on my experience as Engineering Manager and Technical Recruiter.
If I have enough time, I write more in-depth articles, for example how to create multi-language pages with next export, which is on GitHub:next-export-i18n and npmjs: next-export-i18n
I recommend following the general tags webdev, vscode , career and productivity and javascript, react, CSS. Head over to your Dashboard and adjust the tag weight to personalize your home feed.

Welcome to DEV!!
Hello,
I started to write just recently here, even if I read Dev.to for years now.
I began my journey in programming in 1996 with Turbo Pascal and FoxPro. Over time, I grew fond of Ruby and have been using it since 2006. My focus has been mainly on Rails and Sinatra web frameworks. Recently, I have been exploring Hanami 2 and I must say it is an absolute pleasure to work with.
I love programming, and no matter what job or work I have done over the years, I always have used programming to automate parts of my job or come back to programming.
I am curating Short Ruby Newsletter - a weekly brief about everything happening in Ruby's world. I also maintain a directory of resources for learning Ruby at rubyandrails.info.
Recently with a good friend, I started writing a book called LintingRuby - about delivering consistent Ruby code to production with automated code checks.
And I am also involved in organizing an international Ruby conference called Friendly.rb on 27-28 September in Bucharest.
You can find me on Twitter or on Mastodon, where I post mainly about Ruby and Rails.

Hi folks, I'm learning to code by myself and wanted to feel part of a community to keep up to date with things and tap into other peoples enthusiasm! Progress is slow but I'm improving day by day and keen to keep learning!
Welcome aboard!
Wise choice you made to be part of a community.
How do you go about learning something new like coding?
Hi Juan, thanks for the greeting. Yes it's good to be connected to other folk doing similar things.
I'm using free online resources. First I used 'Codecademy' then moved onto 'The Odin Project' which draws on learning sources from various providers and sets projects. I'm also doing the 'freeCodeCamp' tasks and reading up on each subject in three different books to support my learning. If I still haven't got it then I start searching youtube!
Good stuff. FreeCodeCamp is definitely the best resource out there.

Welcome @Zeyi !
Hey there! I'm Sara, a Portuguese college student and self-taught in HTML, CSS and Python.
It all started with my dream for a website. I'm part of the car community, with an avid love for cars, and so I came up with an Idea for a website where you could choose your dream garage and show your progress towards that same garage, between other things.
However, I knew absolutely nothing about coding and website making, being my area of expertise Biology. First, I tried replicating my idea in websites such as wix and webflow, but none of them were able to get close to the perfect idea I had. And so, I started learning to code, and fell into the rabbit hole of programming and web development. Now I love coding, and am always looking for new languages to learn as to get closer and closer to my final objective: The Dream Garage.
I hope to learn lots from all of you, be it new tricks and snippets, or discovering new languages and worlds!
Welcome, Sara! Your passion for cars and determination to learn coding for your dream garage website is inspiring.
The Dev community is here to support you as you explore new languages and make your vision a reality
Hello
I’m John and I’m currently an unemployed developer with about 5 years of work experience. I recently got laid off in April but have been in good spirits and trying to take this time to improve. I enrolled in a boot camp in 2017 with an emphasis in Full Stack Development. After that I spent a year in IT development and 4 years shifting between web and iOS development. While my last job was enjoyable in terms of culture and benefits, I had a hard time feeling secure since I wasn’t tied down to one language.
I trained in C#, worked in VB.Net and a little Python at my first job, then switched between PHP, Liquid, Swift, and a little React at my second job. I know now I shouldn’t worry that about learning multiple languages. My plan is to focus on the one I feel strongest in and hope to translate the fundamentals into another that I want to explore. I still have imposter syndrome galore when trying to learn l, which makes me anxious but I know if I focus hard on one project, I can make it through.
Part of me wants to explore game development since I do have a love of video games but I know I want to break out of this brain fog first. I have a love for geek culture, books, animation, games, and animals. Would love to hear if anyone has similar interests and if you have ideas of how you implement that into your work.
Thanks folks!
Hello everyone
I'm starting on a journey to learn coding and networking through various channels and use this knowledge to change career.
I'm 35 and last year got diagnosed with ADD which has changed my life a lot. I've never been able to keep a job proper and have had numerous issues with learning and retaining the information I learned. I'm finally on this new path where I'm able to learn new things and apply them in my day to day life.
This is going to be a steep one, but I'm in it for the long haul.

Hi. I am Marco from Germany. I started learning Android Studio Flamingo to develop apps in Java. This forum looks promising to answer my nerdy beginner questions.
I am not "fluent" in any programming language but I have some skills I can build on.
All hobby no profession. Ah - and I like Backgammon. Who not? :-)
I use Windows 10 and Linux Mint on a PC from 2016. But it works. No money - no fancy gaming pc for 3.500€ which is worth $500 6 month later. Aaaaaaarrrrrgh!!!!
Ok. I hope I am introduced enough. May the code be with you.
Marco.

👋 hello
Best Community Ever...
Best message ever! 😀
Hi welcome. to DEV. I love the simple clean design of DEV. which made me fall in with this site.
Woot! That's nice to hear... gonna have to share that with the Frontend team. You have a good one and hop you keep enjoying DEV!
Hello everyone, not sure I ever introduced myself. I tend to lurk and read up on some of the interesting articles in the newsletter. I'm Tiago, I consider myself a backend developer, given my neglect of the frontend space over the years (unless I really have to do a bit of frontend work...badly).
My dev addiction started several years ago when first discovering algorithmic trading, particularly in cryptocurrency markets, given their accessibility (accounts are free, data is free, apis are free, only trade executions cost a fee). Before that I was self taught in PHP, frontend basics with frameworks like bootstrap, and some c/c++/objective-c from smaller experiments on the macbook. Eventually I dove deeper and deeper into JS land, before finally venturing into Node.js and TypeScript.
I now work full-time in the algorithmic trading & fintech space as a largely backend software dev. Everything is in TypeScript + Node.js. I have several open source projects to help others venture into the algo trading space, including my surprisingly popular SDKs. As part of that I do also run a growing community on telegram for fellow node.js-centered algorithmic traders (and newbies) to mingle/collaborate/ask for help/get hired in the space. That's also the best place to find me if you wanted to talk about it.
I've seen a number of articles already encouraging others to write their own articles here and I've been considering it.
Would be curious to hear what kind of interest there is in tutorials and other articles related to interacting with cryptocurrency exchanges via their APIs, algorithmic trading concepts and tutorials, if any at all. Perhaps there's also specific concepts some of you would like to see practical articles for?
Hello DEV community!
I'm happy to (re) intro here, myself sharmila, a budding full stack developer and excited to gain knowledge about javascript, articles published here were worthy and I'm happy to be here

Hello Dev.to community! 👋
My name is Greg Nokes, and I'm extremely excited to re-join this vibrant and insightful community of tech enthusiasts. I've been passionately involved in the tech world for over 30 years, and I've enjoyed every single moment of it. Now, I'd like to take a moment to share a bit about myself and my journey.
As someone passionate about technology, I've had the opportunity to explore different areas such as networking, coding, system administration, support engineering, technical architecture and product management. Over the years, I've gained an in-depth understanding of system architectures, databases, web servers, and much more. I am a proponent of open source and a believer in the power of community contributions.
My journey, like many of you, started from a place of curiosity. I was lucky to have a C64 and a 300 baud modem when I was a teen. Ever since, I've been fascinated by technology and its potential. I enjoy sharing my thoughts, learnings, and experiences through my personal blog, where I write about tech, leadership, and occasionally, my other interests like TTRPGs and boardgames.
But my passion for technology extends beyond the confines of work. I have been actively involved in helping young individuals break into the tech industry and pick up the skills they need. I believe in the importance of creating an accessible and inclusive tech environment, where anyone, regardless of their background, can have a chance to explore and excel.
Outside of the tech world, I love spending time with my family and participating in outdoor activities. I'm an avid reader, life long learner, and you may find me online playing video games.
I'm looking forward to engaging with all of you, learning from your experiences, and sharing my own. Let's connect and continue to make this tech community an empowering and enriching space!
Keep coding, keep creating, and most importantly, keep learning! 🚀

When I first saw your photo I swear you looked really familiar and I knew I was right. A quick reverse image look-up did the trick.
Now I am not bashing you or anything. I was just amazed at how right I was and how my ability to be suspicious is still good.
Now Jiwha, I don't know if it's just a pseudonym, but what you have to do first is be real. Be real at what you want and who you want to be and about who you are. Coding is fun but if you don't put it to heart it will just burn you down.
Cheers and keep dreaming.
Hello Jihwa!
I’m Prince azubuike, a computer science major and software engineer.
How are you doing? Tech has been a major impact in our society. Glad you are taking advantage of it, by join the tech space. Goodluck with your interest.
Hey everyone, I'm Doug! I'm based out of Philadelphia, PA, USA and work as a Cybersecurity Engineer for an ISP.

In my spare time, I like to write open source software--I've written a Diceware password generator, and because I couldn't find a QR Code generator that I liked, also built my own free-to-use QR Code generator.
For fun, I sometimes dress up as an Undertale goat. 🐐

Hi everyone!
I'm Maxime, a french frontend developer. I've been living in London for 2 years and a half before coming back to France a few years ago.
I've been using Angular heavily for the past 6 years (I'm not even talking about AngularJS which I was already using before). As you guessed, I really like this framework.
On top of that, I'm a huge Typescript and RxJS fan. I like to have really strong types defined and play with "advanced" type utilities. As for RxJS, I see that as a constant challenge, I love to find funny/hard exercises to build with it.
I'm currently learning some Kotlin in order to be able to contribute full stack at work. I find it really interesting and after a few months, I finally start to wrap my head around it and I start having load of fun with it too.
In general I like open source values, smart home, self hosting services, data privacy.
I've been really active lately on dev.to, feel free to check my profile to see my latest blog posts and follow me for more :).

Hi community,
I am Nicholas and have been around for a while now. For me DEV has proven to be a valuable source for new ideas, but also to revisit „known“ topics, always learning something new and/or trying to give good feedback.
I am working in a big corporate creating business software for all kinds of customers in the area of logistics.
I am interested in: clean code (DRY, KISS, YAGNI), automated testing and more and more web dev. More freedom means more productivity.
Looking forward to read and learn more here!

Hello everyone My name is Antonio.
I've always grown up with computers and technology since my mom worked with them in the armed forces.
Sadly have always had trouble learning due to a disability. I've spent years recovering and have now found the joy of IT and coding.
Someday I hope to gain mastery Over my areas of interest and obtain the capability of creating something that can help people with disabilities and bring equality on some level to everyone.
I've just completed my ITSL certifications and am working on learning and gaining certification in Python, Apache and MySql.
I am currently working with AWS, Azure and other large scale database managers. And learning to understand the usage and implementation of containerization utilities such as Docker.
I know I have a big dream but if I can even get halfway there I'll feel accomplished.
Hello everyone! I am an absolute beginner in programming, and I started my learning journey in coding three months ago. I began by learning the foundation course, focusing mainly on front-end website creation using HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, and JavaScript. Additionally, the course also covered PHP and MySQL for backend website development, providing a better understanding of how to create dynamic websites. In short, I have been learning both front-end and backend web development within a short period of time.
I am aware that this is just the starting point of entering the DevOps community and establishing myself as a web developer in the future. I understand that programming languages like these require lifelong learning, time, and effort. I need to continue exploring and expanding my coding skills and knowledge.
One area I want to delve into is JavaScript frameworks, particularly ReactJS and Next.js, as they are highly in demand in my current job. This is why I have joined this Dev community, and I hope to achieve many things here. Furthermore, I am eager to contribute my work and become a valuable part of this community.

Hi devs,
I´m a senior software dev struggling to make something meaningful in my career.
Got here trying to grasp about interview process due to the volatile IT market.
Hope to learn from y'all.
ML and Data vis, are really amazing fields. I am not good in statistics, otherwise I would be a Data engineer.
Reading is good hobby, I started but did not get a time, yeah. Hiking, so difficult.
New guy here. I spent 25+ as a developer in a corporate environment. I "retired" because they liked my skills, but did not want to put an"old guy" on their payroll.
Just got my Masters in Comp Sci "just because".
Welcome Muthoni!
Hey there, fellow developers!
I'm Mannu, a passion enthusiast with a caffeine level of 30000
The digital world has always fascinated me, so I'm on a quest to conquer programming challenges. From battling stubborn bugs to crafting elegant algorithms, I'm always ready to dive into the wild world of code.
But hey, it's not all serious business!
When I'm not lost in lines of code, you can catch me debating the eternal struggle of tabs vs. spaces, or engaging in heated discussions about the best way to name variables (camelCase for life!)
Now, here I am, knocking on the virtual doors of this amazing developer community I can't wait to meet fellow warriors who share my passion for pixel-perfect designs and logical thinking
Happy coding
Mannu A.K.A. ! Not Pro

Hey Guys,
I am John Fritz C. Capillanes, I am a filipino sophomore student of an university with a course of Information Technology. As a student i learn different things but this time i focus learning stuff from web development, frameworks (i.e, React,Vue and Laravel 10), algorithm and other stuff about website development. I love domestic animals such as dogs and cats, i also love playing instruments such as guitar.I was eager to learn new things about development either application or a web. app.
Hey folks, I would like to introduce myself. I am a junior year student currently learning React and in the process, I got to know about this community.
If you are a frontend developer you can help me with your knowledge and help in making me an amazing developer as well as guide me on how to crack developer roles.
If you are a beginner in coding feel free to ask me questions about C++ , Java, and Data Structures and Algorithms.
Hi
I am studying BSc in Computer Science and Engineering (final year student). Recently I completed a web developer main course by the Programming Hero team. I am well-versed in HTML, CSS, Javascript, and Reactjs and have essential programming experience working on some personal projects. And I have a basic knowledge of Data structure and algorithms, software life cycles also.like MongoDB and Nodejs. I quickly learn new software and technologies and can follow instructions and work with a team.
Hey Everyone! I'm John and I am a Data Engineer by day and developer by night. In my day job I build data pipelines, data warehouses, lakehouses etc, which is kind of a mix of SQL, Python, Scala, low-code tools depending on the projects. I think coding is the most fun and rewarding aspect of it and therefore side-projects have kind of become a hobby of mine, and it is something that is both fun and beneficial to my career. I mostly code in Python and I joined DEV to find likeminded people to hopefully collaborate on fun projects with. I am currently working on a side project where I am building a data transformation framework for data lakes similar to dbt (data build tool). Please reach out if you want to discuss or collaborate!
What's up, DEV!
My name is Aleksandra, and I am currently experiencing my third year of being a software developer ⚡Sometimes it still feels like day one, but I keep reminding myself how far I've come. So far I tried different JS frameworks both for frontend and backend. My current favorites are React and Loopback4.
I have a huge interest and a bunch of experience in developing smart-contracts and web3-related systems. Once I took part in launchpad development and now... (mysteriously smiles in elleptic curve).
Deeply in my heart I feel the urge to learn more about low-level computer architecture. Verilog or VHDL, wait for my motivation become bigger than my fear!!
As for way easier goals, I am actually learning Go and Haskell.
Besides programming languages, I also love human ones! Currently I am learning English (very passively tbh, only by reading and listening to a lot of stuff), Korean (B1) and Japanese (A2).
I believe that moving our bodies is the best way to stimulate the brain. So gym is one of my best friends 💪
Looking forward to making nice connections, leveling-up my writing skills and, of course, lots of new knowledge! 👋
Hello. Thank you for the welcome. I do all my writing, researching, publishing, reviewing & in the process of promoting different products from home. I have been asked to promote on a paid program on TV.
Hey there! I'm Maxence, a web developer from Paris, i've been a member of DEV since a year now I guess, after graduating from my bootcamp. I just love this website and all its content, also its wonderful community. Maybe this year i'll finally start to write some stuff, I begin to have the feeling it's my time to share.
About me, I'm on a freelancing path but it's a lot of up (finished a big mission a month ago) and downs, so I may consider applying for a job. Recently, 3 weeks ago, i've crafted a quote and explore a few solutions for a client but they ended up working with an agency because they had to also work on their wording etc. Even my design + code + maintenance package was not enough.
I had to wait until yesterday to get an answer , so it's a bit harsh when you wait for so long and that it ends up with just nothing. Of course, I had time to continue learning and working on solo projects during this time, but yeah, I'd prefer to get an answer earlier. Oh and by the way I work with Ruby On Rails but I'm learning Svelte right now.
About my solo projects I just deployed the V2 of a project that counts a lot for me because I was working in the music industry before doing a reconversion, it's an online vinyl tracklisting tool for artists, labels and pressing plants: it helps you distribute tracks over sides of a vinyl to get the best sound.
You import audio then drag and drop. Just recently passed the whole project under Typescript, with OOP, and also took quite a lot of time to craft a custom audio player that you can syncronize with your playlist.
If you wanna have a look or know someone's interested:

Cool!

Hi Everyone,
I'm Rob. I lost my job as an electrical technician almost a year ago. I decided use my new found free time to learn programming.
I'm currently in my last semester of a python dev course at community college.
We just started learning Django and everything that goes along with it (SQLite, HTML, CSS, etc. Really only the basics on these), and I'm really enjoying it.
Not totally sure if I'll make this into a career yet, but I've found it really interesting and satisfying.
Hi All,
I'm a tester and recently dived into automation testing. I joined this community more for support and learning ☺️. I have joined a team where we are building react applications and I'm using playwright for end to end testing. Hoping to learn from all of you and excited to be onboard.
Thanks,
Manjita
Hi Guys, I’m learning web development. I’ve previously worked as a consultant for Dynamics CRM by Microsoft for over 10 years . I’m on a career break due to health issues caused by Lymphoma and related complications. During this time away from work I’ve developed a passion for web development and learning through various sources on the web. I look forward to reading and learning more about tech at DEV
Hello to everyone, this is my first experience of joining such community ☺️
My story has been developing smoothly and naturally, I was just trying to do what makes my life more interesting.
I used to be a manual tester six years ago. Then, after two years, since I learned Java basics and gained practice enough, I changed the company to be a full-time test automation engineer.
As time went, I bacame an a team tech lead and performed at most developers tasks on the field of QA. So, after next two years I used to be a software engineer in test.
Then, the war began, I lived in Moscow. I couldn't live like before pretending that nothing happened. I became depressed and eventually realized that only thing I might want to do is to develop software, to do more interesting task for me then QA field could offer.
I left my job, moved from Russia and began studying to fill the gaps in my knowledge.
Couple month ago a was ready and after five months I've got an offer. So now I am officialy a Java developer, that makes me happy again.
I am also developing a Java library for data generation. Current realization based on reflection, but I think about code generation instead.
السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاتة
