happy to be on the DEV team!

Michael Tharrington on January 09, 2019

I'm proud to announce that I recently joined the DEV team as a community coordinator. Now one month into the gig, it's safe to say I'm digging it. ...

First of all, congratulations! 🎉🎉🎉

Also, don't worry about it, man. There's no need to be a developer to be a positive force in the community. Keep doing what you do and be the best Community Coordinator you can be. 👍

Woohoo!! You've already been making major contributions in your short time here, and I can't wait to see your responsibilities evolve and expand over time. Supporting the community is the most important aspect of our work here at DEV, and I know you'll be an amazing asset and advocate for everyone here.

Hey Tony!

You got a good memory. 😀 ... too good! 😅 Because I've been a total slouch on my studies! 😆

I've got no real good excuses, and you're absolutely right that I could use a hand with someone keeping me accountable. Appreciate the friendly tap on the shoulder to egg me on!

Anyway, it sounds like you're a few side projects ahead of me. Make anything particularly noteworthy? Ideas for what's next?

Congrats again Michael! 🎉

Also, since you are now officially learning Python, then you're more and more of a dev.to dev too! 😀

Oh, I know this guy! Haha. Really appreciate the congrats... but even more so, the pun. 😂

I'd technically still classify myself as learning and stumbling over the command line. But hey, I got Python installed. That's ughh... something, haha. But seriously, I got a pretty good list of flashcards I'm going through for the command line and am feeling more confident every day. Python here we come! 🐍
