Welcome to DEV, Morgan.

[Bonta's Conflict of Interests]

This is an especially rough crowd. It'll be my process area to focus on as a disabled family member with time constraints at hands.

[Bonta's Conflict of Interests]

We do not jar.

[Vijay]

Nice to meet you here. Frontend development is really a lot of fun!

[Przemek Ciąćka]

Hey Morgan! 👋 Welcome to the frontend journey! After many years in different tech roles, I know how exciting it can be to explore new paths. What areas of frontend development interest you the most?

[Jacob Lee Davis]

Nice to meet you Morgan! I am somewhat new to web dev as well, but let me know if I can help you.

[Goodluck 👨‍💻]

Hi, I'm Joonatan, a software engineer and architect from Tallinn, Estonia. I've spent over a decade designing and building systems that are practical, efficient, and easy to use. My work primarily focuses on backend development, where I use technologies like .NET Core, C#, Blazor, ASP.NET, and PostgreSQL to tackle challenges and create solutions tailored to real-world needs.

Over the years, I've worked with a variety of tools and platforms, including cloud-native technologies like Azure and databases such as Microsoft SQL Server, MariaDB, and Oracle DB. I've also explored architectural patterns like Vertical Slice Architecture and implemented CI/CD pipelines to streamline development processes.

I enjoy contributing to open-source projects and have created libraries such as C# ULID Implementation, a performant library for generating unique identifiers, and QueryLink, which simplifies how UI components interact with backend data. These projects reflect my focus on building tools that improve efficiency and address everyday developer challenges.

Beyond backend development, I have a strong interest in embedded systems. I enjoy working with microcontrollers like ESP32, STM32, and AVR, using languages like C and C++ alongside tools like FreeRTOS. This hands-on work with hardware complements my software expertise and brings a fresh perspective to problem-solving.

When I'm not writing code, I enjoy tinkering with new ideas, exploring emerging technologies, and finding ways to simplify complex systems.

[Jacob Lee Davis]

Hey Maja nice to meet you. I am a lifelong game dev who has also used a lot of the same toolchain over the years for a lot of the same reasons, so I get it! I love open-source software and collaborating on games. Would love to talk more and share the passion.

[Maja Moreki]

Hello, I am a student enrolled in the awsacademy program. I enjoy the Cloud field and I am working to become a devops enginner. I enjoy backend more than frontend, although on my free time I am always learning how to do both.

My name is *Kurtis Dean Calder * I'm trying to build a stock trading bot with Chat GPT and DeepSeek, and believe I may truly benefit from some advice from actual developers so if anybody, "anybody at all," has any advice or anything to share, add, or fix, please do I'm all eyes, and ears!!

SAMPLE BOT

import time
import alpaca_trade_api as tradeapi
import yfinance as yf
import pandas as pd

# Alpaca API setup
API_KEY = 'your_api_key'
API_SECRET = 'your_api_secret'
BASE_URL = 'https://paper-api.alpaca.markets'  # Use paper trading for testing

api = tradeapi.REST(API_KEY, API_SECRET, BASE_URL, api_version='v2')

# Avoid day trading
def avoid_day_trading(account):
    if account.cash < 10000:
        print("Avoiding day trades: Account balance is below $10,000.")
        return True
    return False

# Get market data
def get_market_data(symbol):
    data = yf.download(symbol, period="1d", interval="1m")
    return data

# Trading strategy (example: moving average crossover)
def moving_average_crossover(data):
    data['SMA_50'] = data['Close'].rolling(window=50).mean()
    data['SMA_200'] = data['Close'].rolling(window=200).mean()
    if data['SMA_50'].iloc[-1] > data['SMA_200'].iloc[-1]:
        return "BUY"
    elif data['SMA_50'].iloc[-1] < data['SMA_200'].iloc[-1]:
        return "SELL"
    return "HOLD"

# Main loop
def main():
    symbol = 'AAPL'  # Example stock
    while True:
        account = api.get_account()
        if avoid_day_trading(account):
            time.sleep(86400)  # Wait 24 hours
            continue

        data = get_market_data(symbol)
        action = moving_average_crossover(data)

        if action == "BUY":
            api.submit_order(
                symbol=symbol,
                qty=1,
                side='buy',
                type='market',
                time_in_force='gtc'
            )
            print("Buy order placed.")
        elif action == "SELL":
            api.submit_order(
                symbol=symbol,
                qty=1,
                side='sell',
                type='market',
                time_in_force='gtc'
            )
            print("Sell order placed.")

        time.sleep(60)  # Check every minute

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()```
