Andy Zhao (he/him) • Oct 11 '18

Hey there! I work here at DEV :) I think I mostly prefer working in the office, but I'm growing to like working remote. I think a successful remote location means an environment with little distractions. Communication is also key for remote workers, both from the team and to the team.

Karyme Virginia • Oct 11 '18 • Edited

I'm going to respond to this one, because apparently I've never commented on an intro thread before!

So hi! My name is Karyme Virginia. I'm a student at Flatiron School learning full-stack web development with mainly Ruby and JavaScript. It's fun. :)

For now, I would prefer working remotely because I don't like commuting, but I quite enjoy the office environment!

Bobby Yankou • Oct 18 '18

Everyone I work with is shocked that I chose to move where I did because it means commuting over an hour into work. That said, I heard a big predictor of happiness is commute time, so you probably have the right idea!

Karyme Virginia • Oct 18 '18

I'm actually on the fence about that! If I'm taking public transit, there's sort of a dual-edged blade with that. Oftentimes I feel uncomfortable on public transit, but in theory it frees me up to read a book or something else I'd otherwise do in my free-time anyway. If that's the case, I feel I could handle a long commute. Even if I'm driving, I suppose I could listen to good music (which I hardly ever do on my own) or a podcast, or an audiobook!

Bobby Yankou • Oct 18 '18

Absolutely! I'm on public transit and am usually reading a book while listening to music. Sometimes a podcast (that's what I did this morning).

Ben Halpern • Oct 11 '18

I also very much dislike commuting

Akira • Oct 13 '18

Welcome! I can see Python is one of your main weapons. 😃

Ferit Cubukcuoglu • Oct 20 '18 • Edited

Thx! Not only but one of my favorites 😁 the truth is that my coding skills are definitely better than my english and I thought our common language here on dev.to is clear, coding/dev! In a way, everyone will understand me here, maybe in a different syntax😊

Kelli Jo Isaak • Oct 11 '18

Hello! I am a self-employed website developer. I do business as the Web Witch from my home. I specialize in ASP.NET Webforms and the Visual Basic language. I am an expert in creating accessible, data-driven, and mobile-friendly websites.

Ben Halpern • Oct 11 '18

Welcome to DEV, so great to have you!

Akira • Oct 13 '18

Hi all! I'm a student at the Turing School in Denver. I stumbled across this community by happenstance and am excited to become involved. I'm very new to programming..and I'm not sure if I prefer remote or in office, as I've never worked remote before.

Karyme Virginia • Oct 13 '18 • Edited

Hi, and welcome, to both DEV and programming! I'm sure you'll love it.

Akira • Oct 14 '18

Why thank you! Programming is great-as someone coming from an entirely different background its a consistent exercise in being completely literal at all times-which I find hilarious and amazingly frustrating all at once :D Rails has been making things so much easier, though!!!

Ben Halpern • Oct 14 '18

How are you liking the Turing school?

Akira • Oct 14 '18 • Edited

Such a great question. Its certainly the most challenging thing I have ever done, technically and personally. The biggest point of growth, I believe, is in how I'm learning to dissect huge problems into tiny bits, and also in how my viewpoint is changing on how to address social issues as well. Its a great school that does an excellent job on teaching technical skill and is very committed to evolving education such that ethics are addressed so that those technical skills can be used by their students to better the human condition. It is certainly not perfect and there are some faults that come with any kind of human organization, but whats most important to me that I resonate with there is that Turing is 100% committed to constantly growing, and they practice what they preach in that area. Its very refreshing.

So in summary, its hard and the academic demands and workload can be brutally tough (and who likes that, really, unless you're a masochist....) but I am glad to be there. I'm confident I will come out prepared to enter the job market AND have real tools to make a difference in the areas I care about.

I'd love to hear any other Turing students or alums chime in and give your thoughts on what you experienced.

Zephyr Prusinski • Oct 11 '18 • Edited

Hi! I'm Zephyr! I do full stack PHP/Angular work currently and like the elementary school-sourced magnets on my fridge say, I 'Love to Learn', 'Love to Write', and 'Love to Create'. I work on-site mostly because I have way too many projects at home.

Ben Halpern • Oct 11 '18

Great to have you!

Varun Bhartia • Oct 12 '18

Hello!!!

I am a relatively new developer looking to connect with other new developers! This seems like a really cool community!

I'm building this - thehackhive.com , a portfolio site for developers. Check out my profile - thehackhive.com/profile/vbhartia

Love to learn about what people are building and connect!

Andy Zhao (he/him) • Oct 12 '18

Welcome! Nice website!

Thalles Henrique • Oct 12 '18

Hello everyone! I'm an I.T. student who lives at Monteiro, state of Paraíba, Brazil. I'll finish my college next year, on Systems Analysis and Development, but, like almost everyone who are graduating on the same college, even recognizing the importance of both on software development, I prefer programming over systems analysis (doing UML diagrams, writing use cases, defining business rules, and so on). Because I love thinking about graphical interfaces, my favorite part of development is doing the front-end. Actually, I can write programs in Java, Python (Django) and JavaScript (worked with PHP but I'm forgetting it because it had some time) and now I'm learning Spring Boot and Angular, but have interest to learn other languages and frameworks, too. On my vacant hours, my favorite hobby is to change the UI of my Galaxy S7, with themes, icon packs, launchers and widgets (I used to install custom ROMs on my previous devices too).
About the question, when I'm home, I'm so lazy. When I take a bath, switch my clothes, drink my coffee and go to the college, a "trigger" is activated on my brain and I finally feel ready to work. Even on start of graduation, I always tried to do my projects on college laboratory or library. So, if I can choose, I would prefer work on an office.

Saviour Gidi • Oct 15 '18 • Edited

What's up, I am a DevOps and Backend Dev from Ghana. I write .NETCore, Python, And Some JS when the need arises. I am addicted to Linux and i3Wm. I have a battle horse which I am struggling to part ways with, its the Lenovo ThinkPad T410, this guy is a workhorse. :sparkles:

Neil Syiemlieh • Oct 22 '18

Lou Zuniga • Oct 14 '18

Hi everyone! My name is Lou and I came to a realization about 3wks ago that I dislike my current career path and coincidentally read an article about becoming a software engineer in 9months. I was hooked. I must admit that I was always intrigued with programming but assumed that it's only for smart people and I would never understand it. Tomorrow (Oct. 15)I will be joining Thinkful's Full Stack Flex program and hope that I land a job after the program. I don't know which language I will be diving into yet, but I think I'm leaning towards JavaScript.

I currently live in Portland, OR and I'm super ecstatic and grateful to have found and soon join a career with an unbelievably supportive community. I like the idea of mostly working remotely with an option of reporting to an office environment for building rapport and human interaction. I like people and being cooped up at home most of the time is not my thing.

I'm looking forward to this journey and dev.to is a great resource. Thank you!

Fernando B 🚀 • Oct 22 '18

Welcome Lou. I am new myself here too, but of course we are smart people lol.

Frederico Hakamine • Oct 12 '18

Oh cool! An intro thread.

Came up here because all the cool kids are doing it :)

I'm currently getting amazed by headless CMS and hosting everything for free and fast!
I like working remote but its good to see some faces here and there...

Tomas Vorel • Oct 16 '18

Hi everyone!

I'm Tom, I live in the Czech Republic and I'm a self-taught web developer in the first year of my new career. I'm excited I found this community of people who enjoy programming as much as I do and hopefully I'll be able to learn from experienced devs and also share my successes and failures as a self-taught developer.

Can't wait to get started :-)

Arun • Oct 14 '18

Hi everyone! I am Arun and I am from India. I work remotely in customer support and recently, I have had the interest to learn writing code. I am working on JavaScript courses on Treehouse at the moment.

I am also working on front end libraries certification on freeCodeCamp.

I see myself progressing from customer support to development in the future and I am glad I discovered this community. In the span of two days I have read a lot of helpful articles here. Thankful to all the developers who share their thoughts here! ⚡️

Subbu Lakshmanan • Oct 14 '18

Welcome Arun!! Great to have you!!

You have made a good decision and Wish you the best for your career!

Maggie • Oct 19 '18

Hey everyone, my name’s Maggie and I stumbled here from a twitter rabbit hole and made an account after realizing the sticker I picked up from a women in tech conference wasn’t just a generic “DEV” sticker, but a swag product from this company. What a noob.

I just graduated at the end of June from a coding fellowship in LIC, NYC and I learned Swift for iOS mobile app development. I’m currently working part time at the fellowship for the next cohort as a teaching assistant and staff member while I look for a full time iOS engineer position.

Fun fact: I was a volunteer junior fire fighter for 3 years in high school.

And I prefer working in an office currently, because working at home usually ends up in Terrace House marathons on Netflix.

Nice to meet you all :)

Alisha Roy • Oct 15 '18

EGMartins • Oct 14 '18

Hi there! I'm Edu, a Brazilian fullstack developer. I love Ruby, Rails and Javascript. My front end usualy is VueJS. I'm doing some experiments with Flutter, and beside the strange sintax, the results are very interesting.
If some one want talk about web development, music and series, here I am!

Karyme Virginia • Oct 14 '18

Welcome to DEV :) I'm learning Ruby and Rails as well, and while I haven't started working on Rails, I'm really enjoying Ruby!

Bobby Yankou • Oct 18 '18

Howdy, folks! Knew Jess Lee, one of the co-founders, growing up. She told me to check it out, so here I am.

Definitely prefer in office. Communication feels easier and more natural. Always nice to have the option to do the occasional remote day though!

Karyme Virginia • Oct 18 '18

Welcome. :) So far I really love it here, and I hope you will, as well! Thanks for chatting with me about commuting!

Luthfulahi Oseni • Oct 13 '18

Ben Junya • Oct 12 '18

Hello! My name's Ben. I'm a self-taught developer that started off as an Android developer with Java, and now I do all the Javascripty things.

I wrote this book (currently still in progress, but will be published via website soon!) called "Modern JavaScript By Example"

github.com/MrBenJ/modern-js-by-exa...

I work at the Bouqs Company in Marina Del Rey, CA as a Senior full stack developer, with focus on the front end.

I was brought here by someone linking to my book on someone's article :). Yay sharing!

My preference for work environment is a mix of remote work and on-site work. I like speaking directly to my coworkers, but I also like having some alone time with headphones and jamming to EDM while coding. It's my genuine joy in life. Love coding and helping others achieve their goals and become the best they can be ;)

Ben Halpern • Oct 12 '18

Simeon Khuntha • Oct 20 '18

Hello, Simeon Khuntha here. I've known about programming for a long time, 5 or 6 years but only now do I have an interest in doing something about it. Currently doing webdev but should branch out more in 2019 and 2020.

My goal/dream/hope is to be a Linux SysAdmin, I'd appreciate any and all opinions, ideas and any kind of help that can help me achieve this goal.

As for working remotely or in an office, both are appealing to me and I'm hard pressed to choose one but if it is my first job then I'd be more on the side of working at an office to build relationships.

Ryan • Oct 17 '18

Hello! I'm an Android/Java software who likes to write code both professionally and as a hobby. I dabble in Golang, and fancy continuous integration.

I definitely prefer working at the office because if I worked at home, my children would make me totally unproductive.

I came here because of this post:

Loki Le DEV • Oct 17 '18

Hello,
I've been following from afar and seeing lots of interesting posts on twitter, and thought I could join.
I'm a robotics software engineer, working on a medical exoskeleton. So I'm a professional in embedded systems but I know nothing about web development. My main languages are C/C++ and Python. Due to the nature of my work I prefer office work, because testing on the device is not possible at home. Hope I can learn at lot here and also provide some insights for people interested in working in robotics or IOT etc.

Rich • Oct 21 '18

Hi, my name's Richard, analyst, I work mainly with SQL & Excel VBA at work. Going for my Masters in Statistics so I'm picking up Python to pair with the theoretical information.

Interested in Sentiment Analysis, currently using it paired with Twitter Data to try and analyze opinions regarding stocks/company/etc. Not sure how effective/useful it'll be but it's definitely got me more engaged than tutorial videos/books!

I've always got a few questions so really appreciate any outreach on this.

Thanks all,
Rich

Rick • Oct 21 '18

Hi, I'm Rick, in Portland, OR, USA. I like learning, and have had a number of interesting articles from DEV pop into my feed, so figured I'd take the plunge. I've been in the industry for awhile, starting out as a Unix sysadmin in the late 90s (or editing LaTeX and TeX documents before that). Now I get to help teams solve interesting problems mostly around cloud migration, but there are many facets to that such as adopting modern development paradigms, change management methodologies, and organizational considerations.

I like a hybrid onsite/WFH environment...there's a lot to be said for some quality face-to-face time!

Clay Mitchell • Oct 12 '18

Hi! I work at a large bank doing whatever development stuff needs doing. Web, java, database, javascript, .net, whatever gives me a chance to learn something new.

Our group is moving to an open office plan and I am dreading it with every bit of my being.

So, I prefer working remote :D

Jhonnatan gonzalez • Oct 18 '18 • Edited

Lee Jordan • Oct 12 '18 • Edited

Hi all.

I've been a front end dev for a long time and have recently moved into product design (UX/UI) and I am doing my bit to make the internet less shit. I care about inclusion, diversity, accessibility, appropriate use of HTML, understandable UI, and I am an expert with CSS. My open source light weight reflex grid is something I'm very proud of. Just to reiterate, I want to make the internet less shit. Keep it simple. Talk to your users. Have fun. Drink real ale.

Brittany • Oct 18 '18

Hello! I'm Brittany, and I'm currently a student in the Flatiron Full Stack Web Dev course. About to take on Ruby on Rails, with OO Ruby and Sinatra behind me. I'm a mom of 2, wife, nature AND tech enthusiast who loves learning and meeting new people. I just joined the Dev.to community and have thoroughly enjoyed reading these articles that span such a wide range of valuable topics. I'll be sharing my blog posts here and hope that they resonate with other newbies like me.

As for remote vs. in-office - definitely remote! I don't appreciate the morning commute all that much but I do love video chats : )

Thanks for the welcome and I look forward to reading about and possibly collaborating with you smart people!

rupesh patel • Oct 20 '18

Hey there I’m interested in exploring React and Angular. Working remote is what I prefer but there is a drawback you’ve to talk to yourself which is not a bad thing but sometime you need someone else to discuss your thoughts ;)

Mustapha Benbaziz • Oct 20 '18

Hi,

Before I introduce myself. Did anyone mention, or even notice the flashing images above? They can cause brain damage to someone :-)
One smiley face is more than enough in my opinion. Especially that they don't really add any value to the dev world.

I love the sense of community in this place and hope to learn a lot from it. I will also try to do my best to help others with answers and contributions.

Remote working is best when you work for yourself and have total control of the hours you feel like doing over the week. If you work for someone else, be sure to have the best equipment that don't crash every 5 minutes, otherwise, you are in trouble.

Tom Hughes • Oct 16 '18

Hi, I'm a freelance rails developer helping clients build MVPs and get them to market ASAP.

I focus on efficiency (which is why I love rails) and try not to be too romantic about the code I write - whether that's skipping a few unit tests so we can ship faster or using a 'boring' framework such as rails. If it works it works!

I've been lurking in the DEV community for a while so I thought I'd make an account and say hi :)

Fawas Kareem • Oct 13 '18

Hello, I'm José Nobile a Full stack software Engineer.

Joseph Abell • Oct 20 '18

Hey! I'm Joe Abell, a Senior Web Dev, where I work on a crazy React CMS for video metadata management. I spend my evenings looking after my daughter, teaching my sister programming, participate in various game jams, music, and creating unconventional control schemes for toys. My daughter likes playing pong using the pitch of her voice, as an example.

There is absolutely no way I could work remotely at the moment, as I have a 9 month old little lady who would love to take all my attention. Props to the missus who manages to do just that.

I'm looking forward to keeping my skills fresh with Javascript, continue to pick up bits of Python, Ruby and Erlang for home use, and trying my hardest to keep a sane work / play / life balance.

Ahmad Masabni • Oct 22 '18

Hi, I'm Ahmad Masabni and I'm a web developer.

Hello everyone!

My name is Nikolas and I’m currently an apprentice web developer. I live in Oldenburg (Oldb), Germany.

I am passionate about all things PHP, Bash scripts, modern CSS and DevOps.

I'd like to improve my skills in modern front-end development and learn Vue.js. I am also interested in Rust and creating my own little game and/or engine someday. My plan is to write blog posts about my learning experience and to publish them on nikol.as (my blog) and dev.to.

I am currently working on a platform one can use to keep track of their video game collection and progress. It's a neat little side project. I am planning to open source the project once it reaches a reasonable milestone.

Cheers!

Hey guys! I'm a self-employed .NET Core developer with a lot of background developing web based software.

Honestly, I much prefer working in an office. I get too easily distracted when I'm at home all day :)

Niloufar Mazloumpour • Oct 16 '18

Hi, my name is Niloufar. I enjoy developing applications, solving challenges, working in teams and sharing knowledge! I prefer working in an office, communicate with people face to face and discuss and solve problems together. Nothing feels better than hanging out with teammates and feel like a family! Let their problem be my problem and receive feedbacks from them.
I program in JAVA/J2EE and Python languages. I've learnt JAVA during working as a QA in my previous job and started developing web applications! I love learning new languages and technologies and my next step is to learn JavaScript and Angular.
I've recently moved to Canada and seeking my desired job. I miss working so much!

Chad • Oct 17 '18

Hi everyone,

New to coding. I think I’m wired to code, and I’m excited to dig in and learn anything and everything. :) JavaScript and Python seem most interesting so far. I started in networking, moved into voice and contact center, and now hope to code.

Hello everyone! I'm a front end developer from Sacramento, CA. I write about tech challenges from time to time and am always looking to expand my knowledge. I'm excited to join a community that's passionate about learning and sharing knowledge.

I've been working remotely for the past 4 years and although I do enjoy the comfort of being at home and being distraction free, it can get lonely. There are times when I work in the HQ office as well, so I definitely capitalize on bonding with teammates. Communication is definitely key when working remotely. We use Slack, Trello, Jira, & Zoom.

I'm Vaibhav from India. I'm a final year Computer Science Engineering student from AKTU university. I'm a passionate Android and web developer, well I'm good at front-end web though. I saw DEV's article in my Chrome's Daily Now tab and I think this is a wonderful community to follow. I also write stories on web development tutorials on Medium.

Recently I wanted to enhance my UI design skills so I completed Adobe's XD Daily Creative Challange and it was fun. Currently, being unemployed I enjoy working from home or remotely. Currently, I'm enrolled in Google's Scholarship for Udacity's Android Developer Nanodegree.

That's it I guess, have a great day! 😃

Hi all!, I'm Runo a Petroleum engineering student learning to code! I'm actually learning to code because I'm very passionate about the tech industry. I can't see the future for sure, but I know mines written in code!, I look forward to building highly sophisticated software for the Oil and gas sector, Medicine, entertainment and anything at all, as long as it's fun! I'm a lifelong learner, teacher and writer. I'm here at DEV to connect with developers all across the globe. I'm addicted to JavaScript/Reactjs, I build UIs with Bootstrap 4 (cause it's awesome), and I'm learning PHP before I delve into Node in 2019.
