Welcome Ben
Hello, and thanks for the welcome!
Why am I here...at age 78...dragging along an impressive collection of age-related ailments? Well, my brain still works, and I still enjoy life, learning, and the processes of making things.
Back in the software Dark Ages (the early 1980s), I got jobs writing hardware and software manuals in the telecommunications industry because of my previous work as a photojournalist for newspapers and magazines. I had no clue what I was doing, but I learned by asking questions, reading existing materials, and doing what I could to try to make better documentation. I didn't learn much about actually developing software, however, because I was too busy clarifying gobbledygook and preparing and shipping thick manuals in three-ring binders all over the world.
When I retired from the telecom industry in 2009 (after layoffs at several different companies), I resumed doing photojournalism part-time. But I also realized I missed being in the software world, even though I had never done anything more than interview software engineers, badger them for feedback, and tinker a little bit with BASIC, C, and early Erlang.
Since then, I have been playing around with a lot of different software packages as a hobbyist. I don't call myself a "developer," and no one has ever paid me to write software. I do, however, look at a lot of software books and online classes for beginning and intermediate-level developers. And I go through many of the code examples just to see if I can make them work (or blow them up with bad modifications).
I am here now with no expectations of finding work as a entry-level developer. I am nobody's idea of a programmer. But I do have a sincere desire to get better at the things I am currently able to do (not very well) with a wide range of software languages, tools, test procedures, and so forth. Also, I enjoy helping others, when there's something I can actually help with.
I've always been a reader, a lurker, and a lone wolf, so I've never sought out any software mentors or tried to pose a bunch of questions to busy developers. I learn what I can when I can. And I am already picking up some good tips and information from the posts on DEV.to.
As far as what I am interested in, I'm currently tinkering (just above the "Hello, World!" level) with languages, frameworks, and packages such as Java, JavaScript, Rust, Python, C#, .Net Core, Angular, PostgreSQL, Go, Spring Boot, and one or two others I don't remember at the moment.
What do I expect I will do with what I may glean--and retain--from this digital overload? Nothing much except help keep my brain cells alive and alert as I plunge toward old age. Oh, and some of this software stuff actually is fun, especially since none of it is required to keep a roof over my head and pay my bills.
So, that's me. Hello, world!
Greetings! I just joined this site, and expected to be one of the older members. But you've got me beat by over 20 years!
Hey, Todd! Nice to meet you, kid! (Okay, semi-bad joke :-) ) I'm not very good at any language, but Python and Java are two of my favorites. Right now, I'm banging my head against Angular 15. But I'll probably get back to Java and Spring Boot next week, before...in my senility...I forget how to start them up again!
What Todd said :-)
You are an inspiration, Si Dunn
Thank you!
What a story! Hello!
Thanks! I appreciate the "Hello!"
And the "What a story!" comment, too!

Hello!
I am here with 2+ years career break due to covid-19 pandemic situation, parenting and some other reasons.
Currently I'm upskilling myself to enter the workforce again as a Senior Front End Developer.
Hoping to improve my tech knowledge while contributing to this community as much as I can.
Thanks for amazing people who read this short note about me.
Nice meeting you all!
Hey this is Haziq, It's mine pleasure to join this community. I am Here to expand my skillset and help others do the same.
Hi there! My name is Ankit and I am a Student in Mumbai University. I am currently enrolled in a computer science degree program. I stumbled upon this platform while searching for information online. In my free time, I enjoy Walking.
Hello everyone
Been here for about 1 years and wish I joined longtime ago . I always wanted to to blog and share what I have learned so far in my career but was reluctant to start. Joining the AWS community Builders gave me the boost I need .
Kudo to @ben and his team for building such an amazing tool . I have a whole list of topic that I plan on writing a blog about this year.
Hello! I've been reading posts here for a while but never been active. Recently I decided to start writing what I learn along the way and made my first post here :) Glad to be part of this community, hope we learn and grow together even more in this new year!
Hello word, faço analise de sistemas porém ainda não sei muito de linguagens. São tantas opçáes que as vezes me perco querendo ver todas. No momento trabalho como suporte mas quero mudar para o desenvolvimento. Sei o bÑsico de C, C++, Java, HTML, estou procurando focar mais em XML e Javascript atualmente pois são os mais usados aqui.Hi Guys! I am just a very confused 19 year old student who is taking baby steps in building her career in AI and Data Science. While I might not be too sure in what I am doing, I know my love for machine learning, coding and just learning is just solid. I don't know about you guys but a youtube video by fireship brought me here. Looking forward to connect with you guys and gain great insight from this amazing community.
It's so good to be here. I hope to meet some cool devs and make good friends. I love learning new things and I hope I'll get that here. I love coding even though I know so little. I will keep learning.
Hello, everyone, I'm looking forward to some interesting discussions.
I'm an old IBM mainframe systems programmer, and for those of you who know this job title, the word "programmer" is usually a bit of a misnomer, but in my case, I did a lot of programming in my career. I learned the IBM assembler in College, and read the Principles of Operation (POP, in the vernacular) from cover to cover. As a systems programmer, I volunteered to do the early morning checkout, where I would check to see if any core dumps were taken over the previous night, and I would scour LOGREC for abends. I would open core dumps in IPCS, follow the ASCB's and TCB's to the failing module, and disassemble the hex machine language into assembler instructions so when I checked RETAIN or called IBM support, I would be able to lead them to the exact issue, often being the very first one to discover this particular problem (or, more likely, the first one to document it sufficiently thoroughly to write an APAR).
So why am I telling this war story? Because there's no way I could have done all this core dump reading without some automation. They say necessity is the mother of invention. Well, laziness is the father of invention. So, over time, I developed a robust suite of REXX execs that not only read and formatted core dumps, but also read and formatted the common memory of the running mainframe so the LOGREC entries could be formatted (and even disassembled) the same way even in the absence of a dump. To sum it up, I was a systems programmer who actually did some programming.
Then I got into management, and gradually stopped doing so much programming for work. But then I discovered projecteuler.net/ and this provided a fresh set of challenges which I met with Excel VBA code, which people have told me is a kind of torture, LOL, but is a language I know well from being known an "Excel guru" everywhere I've worked.
Now I'm retired, which is the next logical step after management. Wanting to update my programming skills, I started taking a Python course on Codecademy, which is where I saw a link to this DEV community.
Hey, all! Thanks for the welcome!
I'm here because in this year, i started my journey to be a dev back-end. I'm studying C# and I want to make an appointment publicly. Within 6 months I will publish my 1st project in C#, I won't say a 100% complete project, but I promise to improve my knowledge in this area.
I hope to contribute a lot to open source projects or the community itself.
Thank you, all!
Hi everyone :)
I'm pretty new to coding, and have been working on a little hobby RPG game for the past 9 months. I thought it'd be nice to give back to the framework I've been using by writing a guide about little tips and tricks I learned, so that's why I signed up. Let's hope I can produce something useful, and learn a bunch along the way
Hey good folks, happy to be here! ππΌ
I'm an aspiring π΅π data scientist and an experienced web developer, but mostly just eager to learn about tech! And I've read lots of good articles from here shared on Twitter on just about anything, that's helped me on my path to being better at what I do.
Life's meant for making an impact. So, it'll be good to see some π and actually interact with people who are trying to make the world a better place. Hopefully, I'll make a little dent in the universe. β¨
So, thanks for the awesome welcome, DEV Community! Happy to share as much as I can on the platform about my journey, too! π
HEY EVERYONE, just a regular guy here on his Arch Laptop(still figuring out why), recently I completed a 42 Piscine, and i have so many questions about where i should head and what i should do before i start the school in a few months. Who knows what ill be doing in the next 5 years, but i hope that all this effort does not go wasted. Lest i be a forklifter forever...
GO C PROGRAMMING!
and GO PENGUINS!
Hello everyone π
My name is Alexis, I'm 26 years old (wow already 26...) and I studied Web Design and graduated back in 2018. After that I chose to travel around the world. I decided that I will find a job in web in another country and my life will goes on, but .. after few months in New Zealand what I did was mostly traveling around and doing some seasonal jobs. I loved it and decided to go to Australia. Did the same... then the global pandemic arrived.
I went back to France and I was waiting to go to Canada. During that time I started to go back to web and took some Javascript courses. It was hard to get back into it. My plans for Canada change and I decided to go to South Korea.
After almost 2 years in France without doing really web developing. I arrived in Seoul. Now I'm here motivated to learn everything again. I started from scratch learned again the basics HTML, CSS, Javascript.
And right now I"m starting to get into ReactJS. I love my journey and I want to share it with you guys. So I will probably post something I learned or my thought on the journey.
So that's pretty much it. Happy to meet you and let's have some fun together.

Howdy folks, found this site working on a project that recommended that I write a blog about the project. I am in my last year of Computer Science degree and have bee trying to work more on projects of my own. I look forward to meeting y'all.
Glad to finally joining this community and starting to write some things I've experienced and did during my almost 8 years in IT, focused on DevOps/SRE, Infrastructure, Cloud and Platform Engineering, most of these years working on financial projects like Digital Banks, Home Brokers and all that stuff.
I really want to have a time to deep dive in eBPF, IDPs (eg. Backstage), CD tools, Infrastructure Provisioning/Management tools and Chaos Engineering writing some posts. I'm from Brazil, now moving to Portugal.
Hello, world!
I'm an aspiring backend dev, I mostly code in Java, JS and Python. Also, I am starting to learn Rust. I'm in my late twenties looking for a career change in something that I have been passionate about my whole life. But also I just enjoy coding and learning about programming in general, so that's why I decided to join this great community.
Thank you for reading!
Hi, I'm Adam. Most of the people called me 'Lyo'. To be honest, I am not near to anyone's knowledge or experience of this community. Just learning to code as I love to code since I started loving to learn new things everyday starting from when I remember of my childhood.
In 2007 I started to learn Basic HTML from a book that one of my brother was learning from college. At that time I was in school. I studied some computer basic skills like Microsoft office and some basic hardware. Well not much, but I appreciate and it went well for the time being. And again, change of school after the computer lab closed for some reason.
The next two and a half year went playing around with computers that my brothers bring to home. Sometimes blowing some stuff. It really gave me a push though. And then, the real game started with challenges like some of my friends finding out about some skills from me that they don't have. So I learn to never give up and learn to gain some more skills from my brothers while they use the computer. Before I realize, I became great at photoshop, Corel draw, zed brush, Auto CAD, and many other tools like a pro.
Days past, a few months later, on the second semester of my 9th grade, I was at the top of students examined for the new computer lab of my new school. But still, I struggle a lot because I was at a higher level compare to every student in my school. And I failed to become the person that I wish to be. Actually, not just because of the level but mostly because of a huge financial crisis of my family. And I lost my track and gave a huge loop to hard work away from computer and technology.
But sincerely, I would love to become a better learner, to code, to develop, to become a software developer, a web designer. I know my story may not be worthy of knowing, but I would love to have help from anyone to improve my skills at the level that I am now.
Thank you all for the help in advance.π
