Brains, brains, BRAINS!!!

Anyone want to mentor a little idiot? Cause I'd be a mentee in a heart beat. Low-commitment, point and I go just like a truffle pig. Still gaining my legs, but open to any assistance in gaining ground on this wild west of a web.

Could be half-way around the world. Could be whole way, even. If you're a beginner like me, but even half-a-step ahead I'd never know. Just lay some breadcrumbs and give me something to figure out.

Or we could both be idiots together! Learn new things by process of blund(ering)-(e)limination. Get really good at hitting walls, getting up, and doing it all over again.

Let me know, cause I'm looking for a co-pilot! Let's do this thing!

Also, just loving the humor throughout your messages here! Best of luck in finding a good mentor to work alongside. One group I recommend checking out is Virtual Coffee... they're an awesome, supportive group that has regular meetups.

Highly, highly recommend them!

Thank you, thank you Michael! I figured I would save my serious points for serious times. And otherwise live life blissfully one footfall away from the edge of the cliff. Like The Fool card, only sub the little doggy for a ferret.

Tell me where and when. Something on Git? We could make a language together. Keep it simple? Guy on here was tossing the idea around. I really want to make some kind of high-level micro-language (kind of like the Toki Pona of javascript or something). Unless you've got a solid idea kicking around?

Even if it's a vague idea, we could give it a go. There's also a git-game jam coming up.

Hey Anita~

*Big wavies! Halloween is almost here. I used to know a guy who said it was Halloween 365. I also used to know a guy who wished it was Halloween 365 (he acted in a haunted house). I wish I had some big ritual I performed, but I haven't in years. And I watch scary movies for just about every flick I turn on. So what is a girl to do =P?

How about you, sis?

Welcome! I get you even thought I am a hobby coder and I been coding for a much shorter time than you. I believe we all can feel like that at times when it comes to pretty much anything though. The key is to not pay much attention to that feeling when it surfaces. Some feelings are just that, feelings. They come and they go.

Hey, don't knock it =P! I've heard a lot of folks get burnt out ~10 years. So if you're still feeling relatively good about it - you've probably got sticking power. I think some of that comes from allowing yourself to be an idiot. Cause your ego isn't on the line, so you can fail and get up with less bruises. But I might also just be ignorant about things and be dating a skater. Whutevuh!

I am more than likely butchering the bean-bits out of this but I look back to it all the time. I remember Kurosawa commenting about how he knew so little. Which is so funny, as he is one of the greatest cinematographers we've ever known. But I get it, breadth wise - what do we know? We can only know what we know, and what we know in relation to what can be known is practically nothing. So it helps me sit comfy, instead of being a fidgety baby in this crazy field that I lego-smash logic together in.

Let's go my d-having-person! Like the script, by the by. I see you've studied Java. What are you interested in doing long term? I hear that Java pays the big bucks! I mean, I wouldn't know. But I know of it ;D!

I'm kicking it through a React course, don't wanna throw off your sail. But I was doing this "WebDev Bootcamp" docs thing for Hacktoberfest and thinking about creating a more general exploration of CompSci as a record/database. Also been kicking around making the PISS organization (Professional Idiots Secret Society). Maybe we setup PISS on GitHub, and start seeing what silly code we can sling around?

I'm holding down the course pretty well on my end. I can say if you're interested you can join. But I think I'm ~55 hours in. Which is why it's a bit of a difficult starting point. We could also be accountabilabuddies, and keep ourselves motivated in our own independent studies. Create that organization (doesn't have to be PISS, but it was def on my mind =P!) to record our findings. Perhaps publish some tutorials and the likes. Something that's sort of amalgamous in form.

On the game dev scene, I planned on dipping my toes at some point. But not as a main course of action thing. They've got that GitHub/itch game jam coming up. I was thinking about fiddling around in the bitsy engine and making a micro-game. But I'm not entirely sure, because things are a bit up in the air. But totally going to flip to Godot at some point =)!

We could spitfire ideas off of one another or challenge ourselves to take a singular idea and make our own renditions. Help troubleshoot a bit if we get stuck? Not entirely sure. Usually I'm a bit more hands-on collaborative, but we may be in the middle of a move, and I don't want to promise a commitment I can't follow through with =)! Just let me know, we can work something out together~

Awesome stuff, Srijan!

Just a quick reminder to make sure to share a post with us before the month is up if you're hoping to score those DEV Hacktoberfest badges you mentioned.

To make sure you get the badges you're after, please just follow these steps:

  1. Share a post that includes direct GitHub PR links to help us verify your contributions.
  2. Ensure the GitHub account attached to your DEV account matches your Hacktoberfest profile. It's crucial for validation.
  3. Refer to the Contributor Template for detailed post formatting guidance.

Do all these things and we'll be sure to give you the right badges. 🙌

Thanks so much for participating in this year's event. By the way, you can refer to this post for full contributor completion instructions.

Forem is the platform that we built DEV on. Technically, DEV came first and then we generalized the software so that other folks could use the same platform to build their own communities.

It's also our company name! 🙂

You can learn a bit about the software Forem here... you can also see our codebase on GitHub here.

I don't know if you have plans to start a community, but we have some documentation on how you can set up Forem here on this site... surprise: it's another Forem (like DEV), haha! But honestly, we're still a relatively new platform with a small team, so if you decide to go forward with using the software to develop your own community be prepared for an experience that isn't yet totally polished. Still, I think it's great software and if you look at DEV, it's what we're using to host our community — it's fast, secure, capable of hosting many concurrent users, and respectful of data privacy. Plus, it looks pretty slick and has some great features for fostering community, enabling moderation, and publishing articles!

All in all, the choice in whether to use Forem (as in, develop your own Forem community) is up to you, but I do think it's a capable platform and we'd love to hear your opinion on it. Also, if you're interested in exploring other Forems out there, we have this website that showcases some of the different communities folks have created.

Appreciate the question and hope you continue to enjoy DEV!

Then next year that is! Same for me as well, I mean, I only discovered Hacktoberfest in 2018 so participated that year and in 2019 and in 2020 (I believe it was) but only half my pull requests got accepted and it took such a long time until that happened that I lost that challenge. I was SO sure I made it but was mistaken. So I guess, lesson learned, do more than double the original requests just to make sure. And then I guess I have been too busy the other years after that like you, but that is okay. There will be next time! Too bad they do not give out t-shirts or stickers anymore tho, I really loved those!

I'm not sure if this place has a popping q&a section. It might though? Seems more like a low-key Medium, than a Stack Overflow. Which would be my general suggestion for assistance. But you never know. They've got some threads popping out in the beginners section. Maybe a common one can be a open-call for issues? Where people can pop what they are stuck on.

I got you here @jodoesgit and @rose1102! My name is Michael and I'm a Community Manager here at DEV. 👋🙂

I think Jo's description of DEV being a bit more like low-key Medium than Stack Overflow is pretty on point. We're mostly a community of casual dev bloggers, sharing ideas & resources, starting up conversations, and rooting each other on. One major focus for us is trying to foster an inclusive space for devs and tech profressionals from all backgrounds.

That said, we do technically have a tag called #help that we treat as our Q&A space. So, if you do get stuck on something and wanna ask our community, def feel free to drop it there.

Also, if you have a question that you wanna ask that's kinda sensitive or maybe you just don't wanna post it as yourself for whatever reason, we have a weekly series called Sloan's Inbox where we ask questions anonymously (through Sloan) on behalf of different community members. If you ever have a question like that, don't hesitate to share it with us via the form here and we'll be happy to ask it on your behalf via our mascot, Sloan.

Hi there!

There's usually a few places to ask for help:

  • If you use a specific language/framework, see if they have a dedicated community! Often there will be a forum, a discord server or some other form of community. These will usually give you the most in-depth help.
  • StackOverflow and other general help sites. These are less focussed, and it can be harder to get good answers if the question isn't specific enough.
  • Platforms like here on dev.to can also work (check out the #help and #discuss tags!) but aren't focused on help. From my experience it's a good place to get opinions (like "which is your favorite web framework"), but for more specific questions it's less suited than other platforms.

Maybe narrow down your goals, to better figure out your next steps? I mean, I'm one to talk. But I'm just suggesting picking a path from here and walking towards it. Say app development (mobile I think you said?), or app testing (q&a positions). You might want to look at non-profit work where you tend to have less of a budget so you have to wear multiple hats. Or something having to do with a start-up that aligns with your values. Especially if you're younger and full of energy to burn.

As for mentors, I couldn't tell you. I too casted my net. I saw some site advertising for paid mentorship. Maybe just find a road map for a gig you want, as well as a couple of job ads for gigs you can agree with. If you're a fresh graduate you're desirable. Tailor your resume, actually *clean-up and tailor your resume for the job you want. Apply, even if you don't fit the bill completely. And study like a person possessed.

That's all I've got. Best of luck!

Trying to simplify operating systems for developers and users. The first time I got a Windows computer, I tried to understand all about System32/ and Program files, and I was immediately turned off. I then adopted Linux, and although the surface was beautiful (Gnome 1 series back then) I couldn't fathom why they used three letter acronyms for all of the system folders. Well that was then. Now I've grown up and found knowledge to build my own systems.

Computing shouldn't have to be obscured by accidental complexity introduced in operating systems. I hope I can make a difference and help simplify, make elegant and contribute to developers' and user's peace of mind. Write code, every day.

Hey, Indra! Don't be afraid to share your work. Even if it feels "sloppy" or too "immature." It's kind of like when you're drawing. And you start out drawing flat shapes and sketchy lines. As you stick with it, you get better and better. Your github (which will automatically make your repositories private) can be a sign of your growth overtime. So don't be afraid to make your work public. If you think you might make it too cluttered with beginners work, you can always organize it so you keep your learning to a single/couple or repositories.

I guess it's an opinion, but I personally think it's great to see this growth. Both for self and others. Also the site tracks your work and it can be a badge of honor to see as well.

I am lazy, and I use Github Desktop. Even though I also know how to make commits through Visual Studio and the command line. But I recommend it if you want an easy way to interface between Github/your local storage.

Anything else? Python is a great language with many applications. There's a lot of demand for it, in many different fields. Likewise it's incredibly readable. Which is great, because if you're just beginning you don't have to deal with a lot of decorative syntax.

So good luck, and I am following you to see where you go from here brother!

College requires *utilizing a very specific set of *rituals/academic skills *as a very specific type of person with a very specific set of safety nets in place. So in turn, it's not for everyone. In fact it might be for a minority over a majority. But knowledge is power in most capacities (I think worst thing it can do is drive you mad. I've heard a link between depression and intelligence.) - but you don't need academics to gain knowledge. Especially in this day and age.

Hello,

I am facing one issue with the automation testing script. Basically, I am working on Microsoft CRM and F&O.
What happens in CRM when new deploying is done, the locator of the exiting element is changed, and due to that automation script fails. So, does anyone have any idea how to solve this issue?

I'm Luzie (you can call me Zie) who have strong passion for digital transformation, IT consulting, and software development.

Fun fact: I'm quite shy and introverted at first but once we have topics in common it's gonna trigger me to turn out to be super duper friendly and sociable.

I'd love to connect with y'all and have further discussions about being part of the community. Cheers!!

Hello! Beginner dev looking to learn!! Currently in Flatiron School looking to take on projects that I can learn the most from and would make the most impact during tech interviews.

Whether you're across the world, starting yourself, getting stuck, or looking to haze me with new terminology I'll undoubtedly have to scratch my head against and google about, SHOW ME WHAT THERE IS TO LEARN.

I'm also using datacamp for data science with python, learning express JS, and starting with google maps api to get a feel for maps. What other things do you all recommend I look at as well?

Hi everyone! ✨

I've worked as a DevOps engineer for the last 5 years, and did some software development before that. Occasionally I also care for database servers when they're feeling down again (we all need someone to care for us from time to time, even servers!)

In my free time I've picked up game development using the open source Godot Engine! So far I only published small jam games, but who knows? Maybe I will publish something a bit bigger soon 👀

Hi, I'm Jacob. My background is in finance (in investment research), but I'm interested in data and software development. Most of my programming experience is data-flavored, so I'm comfortable working with Python and SQL, but I've been trying to step outside my comfort zone with some front-end web dev.

My current project is bridging the gap between my Python experience and my interest in web dev: I'm building the backend for a blog in using Python's Flask (first time working on building a CRUD app!). I hope to build this basic project into a larger app based around improving investment portfolio visualization. There are so few OSS or even affordable solutions for out-of-the-box, scalable visualization of investment portfolios.

Feel free to reach out! I love learning and always love suggestions of libraries to check out or someone to connect with further!
