I'm a friendly, non-dev, cisgender guy from NC who enjoys playing music/making noise, hiking, eating veggies, and hanging out with my best friend/wife + our 3 kitties + 1 greyhound.
Welcome Mat! My name is Michael and I'm a Community Manager here. It's great to meet ya!
I totally hear ya on the transition and hope that it goes well for ya. It's kinda cool to move from constructing the physical (buildings I'm guessing) to constructing the abstract (code) haha. As you said "continue to build things, just in a less strenuous way."
It sounds like you're starting off on a good foot from what I hear. Admittedly, I am not a developer, so I'm not gonna claim that I know the "best" path, but many folks claim that it's good to get a basic understanding programming Vanilla JS before going to deep in frameworks — it apparently helps to have an underlying understanding.
Well, that's all I have to say for now.
It's nice to have ya with us and feel free to hit me up if you have questions, comments, or other feedback about DEV!
