I'm a self-taught dev focused on websites and Python development.
My friends call me the "Data Genie".
When I get bored, I find tech to read about, write about and build things with.
Unfortunately developers are going to be the same as any non developer field. Some want to tell you that you are wrong because they get satisfaction from being right. Post a message online with a bold claim or a deliberate inaccurate fact and just see how quickly people will jump in to correct you! Dev and non dev topics both.
Or they feel their way is threatened and get defensive (I have learned to stay out of best OS, best framework, best paradigm or best language debates online because it gets messy and too emotional and in the end no one had a solution that fits every case)
And then you will have some developers who are patient with you and have awareness that just because we do something differently or have different knowledge doesn't mean we have to be critical. I hope you find a company and team that has that culture.
I've also learnt to give me opinions without stating them as facts, or I say "such and such worked for me, so i recommend, but it might not be right for you". That takes maturity and awareness which not everyone has.

I'd like to see if I can provide guidance in dealing with job seeking, learning direction or habits, or any topics you need help with (I am interested to talk more on the React SEO thing as I've spent some time on that recently - it's a complex one).
Let me know if you want to connect on LinkedIn or Twitter and maybe set up a video chat. I've done that with a couple of people over the last year and it has been fun and rewarding on both sides of the conversation.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.

Thank you Michael, this means a lot to me.
