Nice! The best part of being a dev is that we get to learn every day. :)

I really enjoyed rebuilding dev.to's notifications. Originally, we built that section of the app by relying on a third party service to handle the data. Working around the service's logic though was a bit annoying, and it made good sense to handle notifications ourselves. Now we can easily write up code to send notifications with GIFs in them 🙃

Paula Gearon

I never introduced myself when I first joined, so here goes.

I'm Paula. I started with C, writing Windows and Unix applications. Then my Windows programming moved to C++ and the MFC framework. I made my way through Delphi, and then Visual Basic and C, for various databases, but mostly MS-SQL. Then I shifted direction, going back to C++ for a while before settling into Java for 10 years, with some forays back into C++ and x86 Assembler. I started using Scala a bit for work, but then in 2010 I moved into full time Clojure, and have focused mostly on that ever since. I do a some of my work in Javascript, and also bring in a little Python and Ruby from time to time.

I got involved with the Semantic Web around 2001, and have been building infrastructure and apps in that space for a long time. I've contributed to RDF and SPARQL, and have a special interest in OWL reasoning, logic programming, and rule systems.

Hey its Max! I am a Software Developer who has worked with Python and JavaScript stacks for little over a year now.

Vynce Montgomery

Hi, I'm Vynce. I haven't figured out how to use this site yet, but maybe that's normal. I was a web developer for over 20 years, starting when Perl was normal, javascript was optional, and there was no CSS. Things have changed a bit since then. Now I'm pursuing other things that I enjoy more: talking and writing about tech, and making board games.

Hey! Fellow newbie over here :) Sounds like you've got some great experience. Do you publish your writing anywhere? And what sort of board games do you make? :D

I've got a few little articles; nothing major yet. I intend to get more serious about posting to Medium, at least.

As for board games - many kinds. I haven't gotten into the world of 3-hour euros, but I'm working actively on about a half dozen different games, including offbeat capitalism, co-op combat, and a deck builder for kids about being Fire Chiefs.

It's definitely a good way to practice!

There aren't enough co-op combat board games in my humble opinion and that deck building for kids idea is brilliant. Best of luck with it!

Will Manidis • Edited

Hey y'all!

I'm Will-- a software developer working at Cascade.bio. Grew up writing a whole lot of python and early TF for Kaggle competitions, ended up studying formal math + biology before going to work in pharma for a while. Dig a little competitive programming along the way, so broad language exposure there.

Fun fact: I'm an alum of Olin College, one of the smallest colleges in the country.

Excited to learn more!
