We see the painting of The Creation Of Adam by Michelangelo but the arms on Adam and God are in motion and giving each other a goofy handshake

Hey everyone!

I'm starting a coding boot camp program at Rice University. I know very little about program languages, but I love computers and cannot wait to start learning and become part of the community!

Rice Purity Test serves as a self-assessment tool designed to evaluate an individual's level of innocence or purity. Originating in the 1980s (with some sources suggesting as early as the 1920s in certain states) at Rice University, this test consists of 100 questions. Initially created by students to gauge the maturity and innocence of their junior peers, the test gained widespread popularity and became a phenomenon across American colleges. Today, it continues to be a widely recognized and shared online phenomenon.

Hi all! I'm James, I'm a full-stack dev and spend way more time than I should playing with all the new frameworks.

I've been working on a new custom element framework called Ardi! I made my first post yesterday to help promote, but now that I'm here I think I'm going to start posting/commenting more. The community and platform are awesome.

Hey James!

It's awesome to hear ya have posted your first post here! 🙌

And it's about creating a JS framework! You'll be in good company with this community. Lots of JavaScript devs around here.

I'm curious, where'd you get the name Ardi from?

I see a kinda cartoon face that reminds me of Obi Wan Kenobi, not sure if that's what you were going for or if that's related to the name at all, but figured I'd give it a mention anyway.

Anywho, look forward to seeing more of your posts!

Oh wait a sec, the cartoon face isn't your mascot, this cute little monkey is!

Ardi, the mascot

That's gotta be Ardi, right?

Thanks for the warm welcome!

Yeah, that's Obi Wan. I always do that for a hello world component.

You raise a good point though, that could be confusing to go switching mascots on people.

As for where Ardi came from, Ardipithecus ramidus is thought to be one of the oldest human ancestors / upright apes. The idea was to "go back to the basics," "use the platform," etc. I thought about changing it but the little guy was just too cute to abandon.

I wanted one of the first monkeys/apes in space but those names were all taken on npm 🙄

Ahhhh! Okay, I'm with ya now on the Obi Wan reference and I dig it!

And oooo the name makes a lotta sense now. Ardi is a great nickname/reference for Ardipithecus ramidus... it also just sounds quite nice in conversation. I could def imagine "Ardi" being a framework.

Haha, damn npm hoarding all the ape names, but ya a found a good name nonetheless!

Hello everyone,
I am a junior developer with just 2 years of experience with making mistakes and solving them in production 🥲
My technical background includes a good and deep knowledge of Java programming language and I have good experience with Android development, Spring boot and a little bit of Angular framework.
I am here to know more about the topics I was unaware even existed, to learn more about frameworks that might tickle my curiosity.
I am also here to find that particular teckstack that I really feel passionate about.
Thank you all and I hope I don't ask too many noob questions 🥲

Hello!
I'm a developer with decades of experience in making mistakes. I'd like to bring to the community some useful insights about my mistakes and learn new things. Because the more "experience" you have the more you realize how much things you're not knowing.

Hello everyone in DEV.to!
I was encouraged by "Sloan" to leave a message here.
On my journey to find a fulfilling job I enrolled for a Junior Full stack Web Dev Bootcamp cursus. I'm reaching the end of this 10 months intensive program, here in Ghent, Belgium.
Still feel I know nothing (just like John Snow).
One of my final assignments is to write an article here.
Any advice?

Hey Madalena, awesome to have ya with us!

Hope DEV is a helpful resource while you're going to the bootcamp. And really cool to hear that your final assignment is to write an article here!

My suggestion is always gonna be to write about what you're most interested in, but I don't think that's super concrete or helpful to ya, 😅 so I've also pulled together a few posts that might be helpful to ya:

Be sure to read the comments on this one for other great resources. ☝️

Also, woot Sloan for getting ya to chime in here, haha! Sloan is our mascot.

Well, that's all for now. But if ya have any other questions, feel free to hit me up!

Hi Everyone,
I am a web developer with a bad memory, specially when it comes to syntax. But I think that in this age where we can get our required information with just a few clicks, it's not a big problem. Why wouldn't I take advantage of this vast database of knowledge instead of memorizing them all? What's your opinion on this?
