Hello everyone!

This is Timi, 30 years old full stack dev girl, working remotely, travelling, living in Spain for a year and a half, but in NYC for 2 months right now. I love building, creating solutions, making life easier with good products.

A lovely article brought me here from my dailynow.co/ chrome extension, which hit a chord with me as I feel I am at a similar stage. dev.to/msarit/web-dev-tutorials-ta...

Besides development, I have a huge interest in architecture (in the brick and mortar way), sustainable development and smart cities. I want to create some mini projects in these fields to create a portfolio and get some insight in these fields.

I am interested to see what can come out of meeting all of you!

Yours truly,
Timi

Hi Timi,

I've freelanced in Wordpress for a few years. I decided to learn to code back in February. As a freelancer, my passion is providing efficiency and workflow solutions to small biz and nonprofits, so I'd like to continue in that vein as a developer 😁

John Bull

Hi everyone!

My name is John, I first became interested in software development in school. I was lucky enough to have a great teacher shout out Professor Phillips (Modesto Junior College).

That was a few years ago, I started working in IT, and was able to do some cool development projects and learn on the job. Mostly doing SQL reporting, and some email automation, with some Front End thrown in the mix. After a few years, someone suggested I learn Web Dev and I loved it. So I started learning on my own through MOOCs and tutorials, and I have been steadily working on improving my skills.

Over the last two years I have taken a few freelance clients and now work on the website and blog site at an IT firm.

I have been mostly working on my own and looking to work with a team on a product in the near future, I like JavaScript, React, Node, and Express, but I also like learning other languages and frameworks.

Tony André Haugen

Hi there everyone! :) I'm Tony; a developer from Norway that are just getting into blogging about coding, development and what I am doing as a full stack developer at Sorentio. What I want to do in the future is to get a remote job and keep on evolving as a developer while still having time for my family and crossfit which the flexibility of a remote job will provide me.

I love working in the back-end with databases, apis and the logic that the user don't see while interacting with a piece of software or a website. Clean and testable code is also important to me. Why do it halfway when you can do it proper the first time around? :)

And by no means am I an expert in the field but I'm a firm believer that teaching others will excel my own learning and that's why I am diving slowly into writing articles and blogging about my work/progress :)

Thanks guys :D

Hello All,

I'm Harley and have been developing software professionally for about 20 years in Media, Internet, Video Game, and Financial companies. I've been following the Practical Dev and Dev.to on twitter but hadn't visited the site before. I was listening to the Software Engineering daily podcast today and was interested by Ben's description of the site and community, so I decided to check it out. I am always looking for ways to increase my personal and my team's productivity and am looking forward to using this as a resource and can hopefully contribute as well.

Hi Harleybl,

Greetings from one SWE Daily listener to another. With your many years of experience, how have things changed over the years? I probably have seen some and first started learning when Jquery was just starting to fall out of favor. But you have probably seen a lot. Any tips for keeping current?

Cheer!
John

harleybl profile image
harleybl

John,

How have things changed... Lots and at the same time not so much. That isn't really a helpful answer. When I started was basically right after the PC revolution and just before the internet 1.0 really took off. Development had shifted from large mainframe development to taking advantage of PC's power, so there was a big emphasis on 2 tier type solutions. With the internet bubble things shifted from 2 tier and fat clients to 3 tier and web clients/thin clients. Following that was an emphasis on doing Service Oriented Architectures which are kind of the pre-cursor to today's cloud computing distributed/micro-service architectures. Its kind of funny because it feels like the pendulum is swinging back towards fat clients first with the rise of Javascript frameworks, mobile applications, and extrapolating that to things like web assembly and edge computing. Well maybe not fat clients in the traditional sense but moving computation closer to the user or device and away from the services.

As far as keeping current I think you are probably already on the right track by listening to SWE Daily and being a part of communities like this one. Apart from that in my professional life I look for opportunities to incorporate new technology and try new things while still accomplishing the goals of the business. If that doesn't fill your appetite I recommend having a side project to work on that allows for more green-field development and experimentation.

In general you have to figure out what are the things that really interest you and stay current on those at a deep level, while having an idea of what else is going on in the industry at a higher level of abstraction. I feel that will keep you flexible enough to be able to solve a wide variety of problems.

In your specific case of JQuery I wouldn't worry too much as I am sure there is still a lot of JQuery out there to be worked on. Some industries are still running Fortran code written in the 70s and 80s. Do I want to work on those systems... well no. My advice here is simple. Don't get good at the things you don't want to do. It's like every time someone gives me a Perl endorsement on LinkedIn I wish they wouldn't have. (Perl is fine if that is what you want to do, I just don't personally enjoy developing in that environment, but then again I haven't used it since the late 90's).

With so many new frameworks and methods popping up every day the hard part is figuring out which ones are worth learning and which don't have a good life span. So I basically take a wait and see attitude while new technologies gather some critical mass before I jump in.

Hopefully this helps.

Hello everyone!

I'm Xavier, currently trying to change my professional life learning to code.
I hope to stay here for a while, learning from all and sharing my journey.

I have tried some popular learning platforms: codecademy, treehouse, freecodecamp, udemy…

Text editor based learning sites give me the feeling of making progress, with quick wins challenges, but after a couple of weeks, I feel like I can`t remember almost anyhthing…

Video based learning is too boring for me, too slow.

Time goes on and on, and I haven't build almost anything on my own (except a dozen of WordPress sites).

But...I am confident I will get it at some point.

This time my approach will be different. Just building things, learning 'just in time' and joining some community like Dev.to.

By the way I hope to be hired remotely and/or find a cofounder for a side project.

Sorry for lenght, that is almost a post!

Hey Florimond! Thanks for the warm welcome.

I couldn't agree more about helping others out. It's an integral part of how many of our guests are where they are. They received and gave help throughout their careers to where they are now.

The slogan was just put there as a way of saying that they had the perseverance to keep pushing and pushing. We are hoping that it can be a podcast that inspires others to keep pushing through all the hard times that we inevitably all face.

Hello DevTeam,

I am working with landscape restoration monitoring team at WRI.
We have been desperately looking for higher resolution satellite imagery to map landcover of few districts in Africa and Latin America. We have some good data Collected on Google Earth by local operators. The challenge is that the best available imagery (open source) is still Sentinel-2, only 10m resolution.

I am so excited to here that Microsoft & ESRI developed a model to produce 1m resolution landcover map for Chesapeake region. The lack of high resolution landcover maps is a big problem, especially in many developing countries.

Is it possible to access the model, to test with the training data we have from some African landscapes?
Do you have access to 1m resolution imagery for some African countries, e.g. Ethiopia?

Unlike deforestation, restoration requires tracking of very minute improvements in vegetation, soils, and moisture/hydrology as well as biodiversity for long term. To make matters worse, we need to scale this to 100 of millions global drylands. AI for Earth innovation is right on this problem.

Thank you,

Hello, I'm Dirk Levinus Nicolaas from Indonesia.
I am nobody, I just want to know about javascript, which is so powerful that web pages can do anything.
I just started learning after this age is almost advanced, just spending old age.
But the more learning the more confused, because of the many libraries, frameworks or whatever the names like require and define are increasingly dominating, so they lose the basics of javascript itself.
for example, I found that in the Github program it was good but only with a line of $ (function (.. blah ... blah ... blah, I was forced to include jquery because it contained one word .attr (...).
Because I only study as a hobby, I just try to learn pure javascript, because if you want to learn the library and framework, it only takes time, even though this age is already advanced.
It turns out that only with pure javascript, we can create our own library and framework ...
Your opinion?...

If I research Google that is very well known, it turns out that it relies on pure JavaScript for the client side, but the way to access the resources is rather complicated and spread across several sites.

The one key thing that I have learnt from being in the industry for so long is that maintainability is absolutely key, and for code to be maintainable it must be easily understood. I'm evangelising this in the company I work for. Don't let it be said that older developers have nothing to offer - I feel at the top of my game!

I'm David, living in Shenzhen, China and working for a logistics company.

This community seems super fun and based on knowledge sharing, i'm glad to be part of dev.to.

Looking forward to learn from all of you. And more about product development !

Morten Olsrud

Greetings! 🖖

TLDR: I'm Morten, trying to dev again, occasionally do some writing.

My name is Morten from Norway. I'm a father and husband, and I work as a technical advisor, technical project lead and sysop in my day job. I've been coding almost as long as I've had access to computers, but about 12 years ago circumstances led me astray from coding and landed me with both feet in sysops.

Been working with code on my spare time and have squeezed in as many tools and mini projects at my day job as I have been able, but it is still not a dev job.

On my spare time, when I'm not coding, I've been doing some writing on my own blog, on contract and on Medium. Most of my blog is republished to Medium for greater reach and exploratory monetisation, but I haven't the time between job or family, nor the dev skills, to really build a following one could possibly live off of on Medium, podcasts, selling lessons etc.

Stumbled upon this site through some tutorial articles and liked the format. Seems like a great place to share and discuss ideas, share what little I know for others to hopefully learn from and build a friendly network.

Looking forward to seeing you all around!

Cheers!

Pelumi

Hi everyone,
I'm Pelumi. I studied Environmental Engineering in school and I've been practicing professionally. However, during my undergraduate days, I learned WordPress and became proficient in using it, especially Divi builder (eventually turned this to a gig on Fiverr). I've always wanted to code, learned HTML and CSS also (using Jon Duckett's book), but anytime I see JavaScript syntax, I'm like wow...I'll never know this...lol. However, recently, I've decided to confront my fears and learn web development fully. I've been taking some Udemy courses (Colt Steele, Andrei Neaogoie, to mention a few), FCC, and also getting answers from resources such as MDN, Stack overflow and GitHub. I don't know where this path will take me, but I feel happy and fulfilled every time I sit down to learn new things even though it might take me hours to grab a concept...the important thing is everything is becoming familiar gradually. I'm here to learn, benefit from everyone and also to use their stories as motivation to continue on this path. I hope to call myself a developer and a programmer too someday:).

Frederik De Smedt

Greetings,

My name is Frederik and I'm a Belgian post-graduate student in AI.

I decided to join dev.to after having read several high-quality articles (as it was over several months I don't remember which ones).

As my education suggests I'm into AI, however, my major specialization is probably still in programming (because of my CS background).

Most of my time on dev.to will probably be reading articles from others, though I would love to write some articles myself in the future. I would also like to get into contributing on open source projects, so if you know of something new and interesting out there you can hit me up (check my profile to figure out what I'm interested in).

Yours truly,

Frederik

Howdy everyone!

Delighted to have found you, I'm hoping I can help out and contribute to the discussion.

I'm working full time as a Product Manager/Owner but I also like to build my own websites and web apps in my spare time.

I'd love to build something that can make some money on the side, and possibly even replace my salaried job. But for now I'm focusing on keeping it light and fun, and to continue learning new cool stuff.

My latest app that I'm really enjoying working on is mydevportfol.io. It's a web app that lets developers and programmers build a good-looking portfolio site using their Github repositories as projects.

Would love some feedback on the idea, as well as any thoughts you have on the business proposition. At the moment I'm not sure if there's enough of a market in it but I'm still feeling it out..

Thanks!
Chris

I love mathematics, and this is one of the reasons I got interested in computer programming. Because of all the things I can do with computers.

So basically, I'm noob to this development business but I'll catch up soon :)

Hey everyone,

I'm Sheldon, my friends call my Shelly. I am a boardgaming, arrow flinging, jazz playing guru with a pretty big giraffe obsession. Have always been drawn to coding as I really like to create things and see those build errors get out of control

I realized that I have been a silent observer and not getting too involved in the coding community and so have started trying to contribute back! I am currently in a back-end web developer role but have been exposed to a whole bunch of different roles (I particularly enjoyed doing mobile dev with Xamarin)

You should start seeing some more activity from me on here as well as my personal websites:

What office snack would I recommend?
Grapes - From my experience of playing super long board game sessions, grapes always taste good and don't give you the guilt of other foods.
