Hey! I'm Tiffany and I am a frontend dev from Toronto. I am currently working at a startup and also looking for new opportunities. I am a fairly new dev and just trying to navigate through this industry, spoiler alert, it's kind of hard! I started out trying to do full-stack but found that I was spreading myself too thin and I had more of an interest in frontend so that is what I am focusing my energy on now. I look forward to being part of this community, sharing, and learning from you all!

Hey Tiffany, great to meet you! πŸ‘‹πŸ»

What kind of stuff do you find yourself using most in your front-end work? I’ve always struggled with front-end, so I’d love any insight you have!

Hey, nice to meet you too! I use React most of the time, it makes frontend a lot more fun for me because you can really just get going with building interactive things. I have also begun using SASS for my CSS because it can keep things very clean! I definitely have the same feeling towards backend stuff haha

Spoiler alert: It gets easier.

Hi Tiffany! Welcome to DEV :) It feels hard in the beginning to be a dev, especially because everywhere around you everything looks amazing. I think joining a community like this can be a great way to keep up with what's happening around you, without putting to much stress on it.
If at some point you feel like you should be posting more, writing another article, learning another tech; remember that this is not meant to be a second job, but rather a community of nice people to hang around. I remember when I started learning web dev that people around me were writing articles, or trying all the new things; and how that fed my impostor syndrome. Taking it slow is usually the answer. Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast.

Hey everyone! I’m currently a grad student working towards my MSc in Data Scienceβ€”I did my undergrads in Comp Sci and Mathematics though!

I’m a long-time Python programmer, but I’ve recently been moving on to Rust (which I absolutely adore way more than I ever imagined) and Haskell, and I’m eyeing Scala somewhat longingly. I really enjoy building backend systems and packages, especially stuff that can be used by the FOSS community! And I’ve got a bit of a soft spot for implementing academic-oriented stuff when I can.

One of my biggest guilty-pleasures is in computational logicsβ€”in my short PhD stint, I took a course on this and was absolutely enamored! I love learning about different logics and thinking about their applications to concepts, and I really really enjoy the process of drawing out logic proofs. Still haven’t grasped logic programming thoughβ€”just never wants to fit into my mental model just right. πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™‚οΈ

Long-winded, but hey! It’s me!

Hey! I hope one day I can delve into more comp sci/backend technologies. It interests me so much, but it is a little harder for me to get good at. I look forward to what you have to share :)

Hey Destiny! Can you share a bit of what Ruby on Rails is used for? I have heard it mentioned it a lot. Thanks and good luck :)

Hello Rick, I'm glad you asked. Ruby on rails is a web programming framework of the programming language ruby. It is a full stack web framework and it is used to build website. It's about 70 percent back, and 30 percent frontend. So for jobs and internships, it is more of backend they refer to it as.
