(Pun intended.)</p> <h2> A bit about me </h2> <p>I'm someone who grew up with a controller in one hand and a curiosity about<br> <em>how things work</em> in the other. That curiosity is what eventually pulled me<br> toward coding.</p> <h2> Why I think DEV and Gaming belong together </h2> <p>Games are honestly one of the best teachers for developers:</p> <ul> <li> <strong>Logic</strong> — Every game mechanic is just a function in disguise</li> <li> <strong>Feedback loops</strong> — Games reward iteration, and so does good code</li> <li> <strong>Community</strong> — Both worlds thrive when people share knowledge openly</li> </ul> <p>Whether you're building game mods, browser games, or just using gaming<br> as a mental break from debugging — you're in good company here.</p> <h2> My goal on DEV </h2> <p>I want to learn in public, connect with people who share the overlap between<br> gaming and development, and slowly build trust in this community by<br> contributing honestly.</p> <p>If you're also into games + dev, drop a comment — what game taught<br> YOU something about coding? 🎮</p> <p>Let's connect. 🙌</p> beginners gamedev webdev discuss
