Hey everyone 👋🏽, my name is Joel and I'm from Finland 🇫🇮. I'm relatively new to web development journey, having gotten into programming around the turn of the year. I'll be starting my CS degree next month, which is what I'll be dedicating a lot of my time to.
The journey has been great so far, but I felt that the thing missing for me was a community of like-minded people. I've been hearing a lot of good things about dev.to, and have benefited from many of the articles posted on here (a huge thank you to everyone). I recently heard Ben (Halpern) talk about the platform and community more in-depth on a podcast I was listening to and decided to finally drop by. From everything I've read so far, this seems to be just about the most welcoming developer community.
As for tech, I use JavaScript most of the time, learning both front & back-end technologies. Completing a CS degree means that I jump from one thing to another, but I try to stack related knowledge through personal projects. In all honesty, it's often a struggle not to be overwhelmed. On the other hand, it's fascinating enough to provide me the motivation to push through.
But yeah, really excited to be here. I'm also amazed at how varied the backgrounds of people here are - really cool. Let's keep on learning and sharing together 😊
