Hey DEV. I'm Matthew, a Software Engineer with 2-3 years of professional experience post-bootcamp, mostly Ruby on Rails & JS.
Fun fact: I used to be a professional actor (lots of theater, Broadway, some TV, etc.). Here's a funny commercial I did with Ryan Reynolds.
Hello my name is Hussain, a hardware Engineer, also I want know the basic of software Engineering
Welcome 👋
Thank you
Oh cool! Will check it out
WOW nice commercial 😁
Welcome!
Ola
great
I am so curious about this 180 degree career change. R U enjoying??
BTW. Welcome!!!
That's probably the best mobile game ad I've ever seen! Excited to hear more about your career switch, especially how things developed post bootcamp.
What a switch from your last career! What made you decide to change? I'm 35 and feeling nervous about starting over in a new career (but also excited).
Can you teach me more about it
This sounds very interesting Matthew. I like Ryan Reynolds. He's a big human person and a great actor at the same time. Personally my favorite actor it's Keanu Reeves.
I cannot overstate how hilarious that commercial was. That's so cool. Is he as charming and nice in real life as in... real life?
You played your part well. ;-)
He was as nice as he seems, Tommie (@made_of_stars ), and more: collaborative, courteous, and eager to make that silly commercial the best it could be. He warmly introduced himself and immediately started talking with me about a change he wanted to make to the script. "I don't think I should say this line. It's putting a hat on a hat. What do you think?" I thought he was absolutely right; the line commented on the situation rather than letting it be as funny as it was. He then politely wrangled with the writers & director & everybody in charge and got them to cut it.
Oftentimes stars make themselves the only important person in the room, but he invited me to play and suggest ideas. After several takes, I told him -- though it wasn't scripted -- I thought it'd be funny if I knocked the burrito off the counter and he said, "I love it. Absolutely." When we first did it, the 2nd AD got mad at me for it, but Ryan defended the idea and insisted we keep doing it because it was funnier.
My best example is this: we were shooting in a trailer on a hot day, and air conditioning had to be off while we were shooting because of the sound. You might not notice, but I'm in a wool turtleneck and thick trousers and boots, and I was sweltering. Because I'm behind him, Ryan couldn't have seen how uncomfortable and sweaty I was, but when the 2nd AD (who was in shorts and a tank top) griped about how hot it was, Ryan immediately said, "You know who's probably really feeling the heat? Matthew in his turtleneck. Are you ok back there, Matthew? Would you like someone to bring you some water or a towel or something?"
So yeah, based on my experience, he's an extraordinarily kind, thoughtful person and a delightful actor to work with. And thanks very much for the complement!

Hello DEV!
Since I'm no good in presentations I will be shamelessly stealing @matthew_greers formula.
I'm Simon! Ive been coding for about 7 years, professionally for about 5. I started my journey with App Development schooling, learned some Java and now I'm back with iOS development for the automotive industry.
Fun fact: I once accidentally shaved off one of my eyebrows in an attempt to look neater in preparation for a date I was going to. I also updated my driving licence photo at that time, which was a nice way of reminding me of my embarrassment. (Date went exceptionally well though)
Nice
Hi! Nice story lol

Hello, everyone!

Currently learning HTML, CSS, and about to start learning JavaScript.
Welcome and good luck on the journey!
Hey DEV!

I have had a weird experience with a proxy company in Spain... I will share my thoughts with all of you about that. Hope will be interesting.
Kraftwerk!

throw back to old school
Hej everyone, my name is Lukas. I am a software engineer with almost 18 years of experience, working professionally with Ruby, Python, Erlang and Elixir as well as SQL, HCL2 and the occassional JavaScript, in case I cannot avoid it.
Besides, I am a digital workspace enthusiast, and I love to optimise and work on my little tools.
Many of them can be found in my dotfiles.
Hi DEV. I'm Rob, a Salesforce Consultant based in Italy, with a background in programming. I've learned different languages in the past and done some web app development, but I haven't touched code for a while now due to the nature of my job.
I've found this community while googling stuff about flutter since I am planning to write a mobile app for an idea I had.
See y'all around!
