Hey there! Welcome to dev.to!

International Welcome Taco says hello in many languages!

Leave a comment below to introduce yourself to the community! ✌️

Here are some ideas to get you started:

  1. You can talk about what brought you here, what you're learning, or just a fun fact about yourself.

  2. Reply to someone's comment and say hello or ask them a question. 👋

  3. Or answer this question: What's your preferred way of communicating with your coworkers? Email, chat, in person, or something else?

Hey there! I prefer messaging people, but I always intend for the messages to be asynchronous. We as a team strive for async communication, and no one is expected to respond immediately. It's a great way to stay focused and get things done, while talking with one another when needed.

Hey, my name is Cedric. I was brought here from Twitter after doing a follow blitz of developers (Ali Spittel, Ire Aderinokun, and Sara Soueidan just to name a few). I wanted another avenue to learn from like-minded individuals beyond my job. I currently acquired a Javascript cert. after only having working experience with it and jQuery for 9 years.

My coworkers mostly communicate in person and on slack. Majority of our conversations involves who's buying the office cookies next and funny gifs.

Hi everyone, I'm Chris. I've been doing front end development for a long time, focused more on HTML/CSS/jQuery, with a little backend dev, a little UX and a little mobile app development thrown in. I've specialized in creating accessible sites lately, learned a lot about the WCAG 2.X guidelines.

I recently found this site through a couple of developers that I followed on Twitter. My coworkers mostly use Microsoft Teams to communicate.

Hi, Chris! I've been trying to wrangle better accessibility into our 25,000 pages and our content management system. So far, it's been winning, but progress is happening.

Hi everyone. I'm Ovie and I love spending long hours on my computer turning ideas in my head into actual products other people can use and appreciate.

I have a bit of experience with the PERN stack (Postgres, Express, React, and Node.js) and recently, I've been playing around with Google's Flutter and I'm loving it so far.

My preferred way of communicating is in person because it's just faster and more genuine.

Hi-ya everyone! My name's Spencer and I mostly do [ actually only do, really ] Javascript stuff. I'm currently trying to learn backend stuff as I've really only ever done things with frontend code. My favorite frontend framework has to be Vue.js, and I'm excited to learn GraphQL.

I came to DEV.to after finding it either through Twitter or Product Hunt, I forget which. The design of the website stood out to me though, and the community here seems great! So, yeah... Here I am :)

Hello! I kept reading nice posts on this site from links elsewhere and thought this is a fun community to join!

I like reading about new programming techniques and databases or thing that aren't really practical but could be some day.

I think email is cool to use once you have some kind of personal system that works for you.

Hi devs!
My name is Jorge, but family and friends call me Coco. I started coding one year and a half ago. I am working on projects with react.js and node.js... and I end up in this amazing place looking for some solutions. Hope I'll make some contributions to this community.

When I'm not coding I'm learning other lenguajes or riding my skate in the streets.
I like video call or chat to communicate.
