Katelynn M Tenbrook • Dec 12 '20

The places I could've been if I started coding in high school... Keep it up!

Noa • Dec 15 '20

there's not much. no one takes you seriously when your in highschool and loves coding. it's very hard to get anything done with school and coding.

Katelynn M Tenbrook • Dec 15 '20

You just don't see it yet. When you get older and you tell people that you loved coding as a kid they will be impressed. Not to mention the kind of experience you have just from teaching yourself from such a young age.

Looking forward to learn and contribute on interesting tech discussions.

Matthew S. Emerson • Dec 22 '20

Hello! My name is Matthew S. Emerson.
I'm a Chemistry Ph.D. Candidate at the University of Iowa in the United States.

It seems I have a pretty different background than most that I've read on this board, but I'm excited to listen, learn, and share!

My professional career started by in my undergrad in 2016, when I performed high energy x-ray scattering experiments at Argonne National Lab (ANL), which led me toward my current work.

My current work is in a large collaborative group for the US. Department of Energy (DOE) called Molten Salts in Extreme Environments (MSEE) which is hosted by Brookhaven National Lab (BNL). This group aims to understand fundamental properties of molten salts in a nuclear reactor that replaces the coolant water with a molten salt, and the solid uranium fuel with a molten salt fuel mixture that would have dissolved uranium in it at high temperature, but low pressure.

The last 3 years of grad school, I've been performing simulations of molten chloride salts (NaCl, MgCl2, etc.) and ionic liquids (salts that are liquid around room temperature to 100C).

In the last 5 years, i've written multiple high performance codes using MPI and CUDA parallelization in C++.

I am also fluent in F90, F77, Bash, Python (I <3 Signac), and am less than natively fluent in Java.

I try to study every aspect of building, designing, and coding computers, and I look forward to keep on learning in this new community and make new friends. I'm happy to share anything i know (that i am allowed to share) in the process.

Hello All,

I'm 65 and recently "retired" from the "9-to-5" work routine, but Covid-19 rather screwed up our travel plans. So a few months ago I completed a full-stack web development bootcamp (200hr+) and am now working to build a web application to consolidate what I learned ... hoping to develop a side-gig that can travel with me when the planet returns to some kind of normal.

Finding it hard going (my last programming experience was around 1996), but us old guys can be stubborn & I'm gonna make this work!!

👋 Hello everybody, hope you're doing great!
I've just joined DEV! My name is Luigi, I'm a senior front-end / WEB UI developer and currently a full-time consultant for a company in the online gaming industry. I have a couple of side hustles at the moment where I get to experiment and learn new solutions and technologies.

My first stab at a JAMstack ecommerce site using Gatsby, Stripe and Printful launched few months ago, that's here at stllr230.store - I'm the creator of the designs that you will see there as well if you get time to check it out 👨‍🎨. Very happy with that although only one item can be purchased at the time - I'm planning to implement a shopping cart solution 🛒.

The most recent side hustle I'm working is all about 🎨 colors! That you will find it here at colors.tools.

I'm planning on reading and learning more about Apollo Client, FaunaDB, GraphQL, React and Gatsby, Netlify, all things JAMstack!

Hello,
I'm Mat, a postman and father of 4. I have decided this year to work toward a change in career into the world of web development. I have always been tech minded and wished I had done this a long time ago. Having learnt the fundamentals of HTML and CSS a while ago I am now currently leaning to code with JavaScript (and brushing up on HTML and CSS), I must say its a bit of a rollercoaster ride where motivation is concerned. When you find something tough then after lots of head scratching you work it out, great feeling! Still early stages at the moment though, Ive been at it for a couple of months.

Hi. I'm Leonard from Zimbabwe. I aspire to become a great programmer. Have learnt a few languages in the past few years and now I'm putting greater effort on Java and it's quite interesting. Feels good to acquire new skills after my 13-year military life.

Hi Nirmit, welcome! Happy to see that you're looking to contribute to the open-source community. Unfortunately, there is no magic formula to find a project for your first contribution(s). My advice would be to first build one or more projects yourself (e.g. your own website, a simple web app that you can use on a regular basis ...) to get acquainted with the Github "workflow" (using multiple branches, committing, pushing, merging ...). After that, scan these websites for more info on how to get started:

And then it basically boils down to finding projects that match your stack.
In your case, Chrome extensions might be a good start since they're mainly a combination of HTML, CSS and Javascript. Try to build a Chrome extension yourself and then look for Chrome extensions that you find useful, find out if they are open-source and scan their issues on Github.

Good luck!
