Andrzej Chmura

Hello, my name is Andrzej, I am a JavaScript Developer currently working on web-based augmented reality experiences.

I am an architect turned software engineer - which isn't as odd as it sounds, considering I find many similarities between the two fields in my day-to-day work.

As I am currently focused on expanding my knowledge of Typescript, I am looking forward to sharing my thoughts and experiences with the community here.

And to answer the question about music: definitely listening while coding, especially some trip hop, ambient and electronic music. Unless I'm on a tight deadline - then I'm listening to Dunkirk soundtrack 😉

Cheers 👋

Big fan of that gif 😁

I usually don't listen to anything while coding, which I think is the unpopular choice. If I do, it's almost always an album or a single track on repeat.

For example, I literally played K/DA - POP/STARS on repeat for probably three weeks straight.

Yes. That is correct. I got really interested in the Left Hand Path after deploying the CRUD comparative religion app, Hypatia.

Hello, I’m Oliver, I am a full stack developer at a company which fights blood cancer.
I learned coding myself when I was eleven years old. Since 2011 I work as a software developer in different fields. But I didn’t learned as much about how valuable clean code is or about the social part and politics of software development as I currently do.

dev.to is a big knowledge base where I found many very useful and interesting article which helped me to get through a mentally rough time.

Most of the time I listen to classical music but
Interstellar by Hans Zimmer helps me to get really focused, so I listen to this song for a few hours on repeat.

I'm trying to get my toes wet with some Python as it has always been a language that was recommended to me but I never had the need for it in my roles. Now I have some time to experiment I think it's time to see how I get on with it.

Definitely listen to music while coding. Depending on the task, either the testers rage playlist on spotify or more upbeat "you can do it" music.

Hi, I am Dat from Viet Nam.
Currently I am a Software Engineer at Sapporo, Japan.
Beside the full time work, I also have a small freelancer work which related to NodeJS, Express.

Previous, my work was mostly in PHP ( 6 years experience ), but I use C++ ( sometimes Ruby On Rails for web tool ) for full-time job now.

I know dev.to through other article, and I am so surprised about DEV, it is really interesting with a lot of great stuff from around the world.

The next willing tech is Machine Learning. Current I am lacking knowledge about ML, but really want to deeply passion into it.

I also want to try to write blog again ( previously was Yahoo 360 ).
I think DEV is great place for me back again with this hobby.

I like to play games LOL(League of Legends), listen music and make friends(especially tech friends).

Michael K Gremillion

Hello everyone! I'm a simple hobbyist; by day I code tools in C# to help me and my coworkers' workflow, and by night I mess around with the (programming) love of my life, Ruby.

My current projects include "boring" things like Excel add-ins to smooth over workflows at my day job, and more "exciting" things like compiling Ruby on Windows in MinGW without using RubyInstaller. And then trying to embed Ruby into a Win32API app. I promise I have a reason for this other than hating myself.

To answer this month's question, I'll sometimes listen to music depending on the mood. Lots of instrumental stuff usually; video game music (Final Fantasy, lots of Sonic the Hedgehog stuff is great background music), or electro-swing (Tape Five, Parov Stelar are current favorites). When I want lyrics, I'll fall back to Evanescence, Dream Theater, and Coheed and Cambria.

Hi Siufts. It's absolutely normal to not be at ease at first with English is it's not your mother tongue. Best thing you can do is continue reading and writing even if you make mistakes, take advice from others and take your time.

It's great that you join the Dev community. There's a lot of great articles to learn from around here.

A few things if I may:

  • Don't try to be self-entrepreneur without experience, start with a boring office job. You will learn a lot !
  • Don't rush things. Start small and then grow bigger. We all tried to do a game or a community as our firsts projects, but it never works ;)
  • Use Github. Browse random project, read code, contribute to others projects ... lot to learn there.
  • You site is great ! Nice work.

Hello Everyone, my name is Bryan Tong. I have been developing web oriented software since 2002. My primary focus early on was PHP, MySQL, JS, HTML, CSS.

Not much has changed except that I have dropped PHP and continued on with Node.JS releasing numerous packages to NPM.

Now there is Kado, to me Kado is an extension of the express way of thinking. Kado adds some flavor and opinions to the web stack and presents and more coordinated and consistent work flow.

The modules in Kado put every portion of building a web system first class leaving no subsystem behind.

When I'm coding I usually listen to metal. I love bands like Amorphis and Myrath.

This year I want to learn much more. I want to improve my skills in Python and Vue.js. And I want to finally get into GraphQL and React.

I have two questions for you guys. How do you manage to stay motivated to keep coding and to keep evolving, having so many prog. languages / tech nowadays? How do you decide what to learn and when to learn (on personal time obviously)?

Cheers!

Michel Renaud

Hi... I’m Michel (French name = a guy :p) and I’ve been working for the Canadian government for over 30 years. I’m currently working in .NET Core with the bulk of my work being on the backend, i.e. web service and database, though I’ve been getting acquainted with the web UIs (Typescript, Javascript, React) written by the “kids” and fixing their optimism (errors CAN happen, guys, you have to expect them rather than have the thing blow up in the user’s face! lol)

Do I like listening to music while coding? Damn right. I’ve had a heavy metal music review web site for nearly 20 years now (not sure it’s OK to post the URL, so I won’t) and whether I’m at work or at home, I’m almost always listening to music. My site’s design and tech (bad PHP coding with a MySQL db) dates back many years and I’m s-l-o-w-l-y rewritting the thing in .NET Core and trying to fix the annoyances I’ve created for myself over the years. Using the same technologies at home and at work benefit both.

I got here this morning while looking at articles on Flipboard and there was a cool little React tutorial from someone unsatisfied with the official React tutorial.

That’s all for now. ;)

Hello, I’m Micah. I am a beginner developer that is working on a whole lot of stuff at once. I have lately been dabbling in the Python SDK for the Anki Cozmo. Also been practicing bash scripting, as well as some basic HTML and CSS.
I’ve been coding since I was 10 and just starting a block-based language. I am still slightly active on Scratch (scratch.mit.edu) to build concepts very quickly. I’m also into graphic design.

Glad to be here! 😇

Hello All, My name is Nik.

I restarted my coding journey about 3 months ago. The last time was 14 years ago with HTML, but that didn't last long. I had too many projects going at once and dropped it in favor of another project. This time I started with Python. It went a lot better because python is the starting point for all of my projects now. I view any and all work as some form of a project, compartmentalizing like this helps prevent me from working on several projects at once and giving each one it's deserved attention. This process is something that would have helped 14 years ago.

My coding specialty will be home automation. I've got a long way to go and lots to learn. Deep Learning, Machine Learning, C++, and home web interfaces are on my list at the moment.

I do not listen to music while coding, or much at all, I find it distracting. My family will put it on, and when that happens I just ignore the music and let them enjoy it.

Best,
Nik

Hi y'all! Number 3 to make it easy.. Yes, listening to music while coding most majority of time. What's playing will depends on the perticular moment, code-project am working on and mood. It could be pure Classical music up to Hard Metal passing by Deep House.

My name is Derek, and I've been programming since 1997. I have started to learn modern web dev technologies ( all js related language ) since 6,7 months now. I've been learning NodeJs, ReactJS, Javascript, Rest API, briefly any tools necessary to qualify as a FullStack Dev.

I just had that nice feeling a couples day's ago where everything just seem's to get in place slowly and easily while coding "js". That's a reward for having persevered when I was most often in the dark and at the foggy land! Just love it. But hey, this is just the tip of the iceberg.. Still got a long way to go.

I've also been doing SEO since early 2000 but have kind of let it got since a year or 2. Still managing Google Ads thought.

Well that's about it. Thanks for reading a say hello. Might see each other around.

Cheers!

Hey, I'm Austin. I'm an ASP.NET/C# web developer, working regularly with CRMs as backends. I've been following dev.to for a couple of months now, and finally caved.

I'm trying not go get left behind with everyone I know moving into JS frameworks, so I'm working on a personal project to build a TypeScript music player using AmplitudeJS, then move into converting my otherwise vanilla personal site to a web app. This is directly fighting my free time I usually spend on my music project, but I want to get it done to share my music. If you're into Synthwave/Retrowave or Synthpop, check it out. Fair warning, I don't consider any of this to be "done" :)

Hello people.

I've been doing professional development for about 7 years now.
My current technical focus is mostly scalable state management in web frontend with redux and I'm enjoy a functional js style with lodash/fp or ramda.
The usual feedback I get that there are benefits, but many don't feel comfortable with these technologies and style.
So my current effort is to have meetings and 1:1 and write documentation and overall work on my I guess leadership and mentoring skills.

See you around
