Hi! Dev.to started popping up on a lot of the aggregators I read to keep current. It also seems to be suffering less from the immense degradation over on Medium 0_0 (Anybody else remember how high quality the writing was on Medium when it was new??)
Anyways, I've seen some of the folks on here posting in the Fediverse and I am happy to be here!
We're happy you're here, too!
Thank you Jesse.
Fait Divers and not fediverse ! Don't deprecate my french please...
Welcome to Dev.to
I'm not entirely sure what you mean in the first part of your post. I support the Fediverse :)
Thanks for the warm welcome!
Oh sorry i was thinking it was such kind of buzz words taked from french that it’s hype to use
Hi everyone. I'm Cesar. I was first introduced to code in my summer job in high school. I worked for a nonprofit and we had to build a website. So that was my first introduction to html/css, but I wouldn't get my first computer until my first year of college. That's when I began working with Java and other programming languages.
I work with C#, java, sql, javascript. I am currently falling in love with working on the front end. I am looking into animations and React.
Aside from tech, I like to play basketball, play video games, and go hiking.
Welcome! I’m a fellow video game fan and React lover. Glad to have you. :)
I love your name!
Oh my,oh my....you are a lot of things.
Hey everyone. I'm Dwayne :). After reading a couple good articles from dev.to and hearing nice things about the community I decided to give the site a try.
I'm currently (as of April 2019) learning how to design and implement programming languages using the book "Essentials of Programming Languages by Friedman and Wand (3rd Edition)". It's difficult but rewarding learning from the masters.
My day job is as a full stack web developer for a Point of Sale software company. On a day to day basis I work with Ruby, PostgreSQL and JavaScript (React/Redux) among other tech. I dream of the day I get paid to work with Elm or Haskell or Rust.
Aside from that I enjoy playing basketball, running, cycling, swimming, hiking (I'm pretty active) and living a plant-based lifestyle.
You're welcome, Dwayne. Plant-based lifestyle? Can you please explain that?
I love your profile.
Sure Biodun.
With respect to my diet, I don't consume any animal products. Learn more here.
With respect to everything else, if there is a plant-based alternative I'd gravitate toward that option because it's usually better for the animals, the environment or us humans.
Hello everyone, I'm Juliya.
I'm a self-taught developer dwelling within Texas.
I started dabbling at the tender age of 12 playing Neopets (of course), eventually progressing onto creating MySpace Profiles as a young teenager.
I've done a whole lot of freelance client/contract work throughout the years but thankfully last year I began gearing up for a much needed change professionally. These days, I am up to my eyeballs in Warhammer 40,000 Miniature Commissions and am starting an organization that will provide digital services and solutions to local metal bands free of charge.
I randomly stumbled upon the site but liked it immediately, mostly for the design. I'm sick of most sites looking the same XD
OH MY! I was crazy about Neopets. I was a bit older, thou :P like, 19 or something. hahahahaha :)
Nice to see you here!
Hi everybody! My name is Mat, and I'm from Lexington, Ky. I'm currently working to earn my React certification from Codecademy and eager to contribute to open source projects. Before this, I ran a record label for 10 years and worked as a freelance journalist for more than 15 years. I have a soft spot for nonprofits, and am passionate about and LGBTQ rights. Married to a great guy and bossed around by a rambunctious mini-Schnauzer!
Hey Matt, Any cool open source project you recommend?
You can check my project github.com/gkpty/almost_cms
Its an open source and free, serverless CMS and SSG. Its changes the way you make static sites
Built with ReactJS, Amplify, GraphQl, DynamoDB, Lambda, Amazon SDK.
let me know your thoughts
Hey this is actually pretty cool. I am building something similar, maybe we can chat about ways to collaborate? Check this out: stormkit.io, basically it’s a serverless hosting targeting modern web apps with server side functionality. It has built in support for ssr. Right now it could be used together with headless cms like prismic and contenful to build modern e-commerce/news websites. Was also thinking to add more features around this use case based on the demand. I’d love to hear your feedback
Hey Savas, Thanks for reaching out. Checked you project out, it seems very cool too!
Our project is fully open source, you can check our code
github.com/gkpty/torus_cms
Any ideas on how we could collaborate?
i will come up with some suggestions tomorrow :) its late here and im using the mobile phone so i could only read the readme file :) I will write you back once i can check more in detail. Peace!
Hi Lucas! Just getting started so I dont have any recommendations quite yet! Will check out your project!
Hi, I'm Karno from Nagoya, Japan. I am working as a researcher about security auditing and communication, and I am not a software engineer now, but I've being interested into software engineering since childhood and I have the degree of information engineering. I am really desired to become a software engineer and I hope this place would be a first step of my new career.
I am learning English language but this language is very difficult for me and I am still repeating trials and errors. Please let me know if you have any information about a good linter for English. Thank you.
You’re doing a fantastic job already in your language skills. I wish I could be multilingual. And I wish you the best of luck in your pursuit of a career In software. You’ve chosen an excellent place to learn. Welcome!
Thanks

Hi My name is Tim Vogt and I tech Kids to code. Because I want to stay on top of new development and to get more development skills myself. So I can get a remote job in between gigs. Fun fact I have Dyslexia.
I got into programming after a gig wich was an large AWS project on sending newsletters and consulting for a large shop/intranet/companywebsite min php. So I decided to do more Django and Python projects because this made more sense 😁.
I recommend python and study python classes and try to make sense of them.
That’s wonderful. I would love to teach hands on coding. For now I’ll have to get my teaching itch scratched by posting articles on here. But if I may ask, how did you get involved in teaching? Do you do it at a school or a college? Or at some kind of volunteer club?
Sorry for late reply, I teach kids in the local library and now online. We work with microbit scratch an Python turtle. And I give some private lessons. At day job I’m a lead dev of team of 9.
Hello! I'm Travis. I came across Dev.to while doing some self-study on Vue some time back, and I really liked the layout and the information passed through here. I've been creeping for a while and figured it's probably time to step out of the bushes! I *officially got in to software development at the end of 2017, with Lambda School, which I completed in June of last year. After that, I went on a 5 month hiatus journeying in to a Congressional Campaign as a tech consultant. I took December as a "vacation" because...campaign life was a killer to say the least! Since then I've been rebuilding what I learned and actively looking for my first dev role. Obviously took a wrong turn somewhere, heading in to May with no luck so far, so I hope to learn a lot from the community here and hopefully land my first official dev role very, very soon!
Hello folks!
I'm Erika, I've worked as software engineer for most of my career, been focusing on devOps last couple years and now working as technical writer at DigitalOcean. I love writing! I came here because I was looking for a place where I could share some of my personal ideas related to our field, basically something to replace Medium because frankly, they're the worst.
happy to be here :)
Super happy to have you here!
I recently finished a contract position, and wasn't really sure what to do with my life. I heard from some people that programming might be a good thing to learn, so I went and did it for six months. I think it was good to try it on my own, and would recommend the same for anyone interested in programming.
Hi. I am a learning FrontEnd web developer and excited to be on this awesome platform. As the saying goes "If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.", I really want to go far.
Thank you.
Hello Guys!
I am Oliver and here's is a bit about me:
Cheers!!!!
Hi Oliver. I checked out your Youtube channel. I like your speed code video. 😉
Keep it up.
Thank you for checking it out and glad you liked it! 😄
My passion for technology has grown quickly since I was young, even before high school. As such, the curiosity about "how computers work" pushed me to this new technology world.
By being autodidactic and dedicated, I ended up experimenting different types of programming languages such as PHP, javascript, Java, C+ and C#...but I quickly realized my fascination about Java, which defined my professional path.
But technology isn't my only passion. I love travelling and Crossfit.
Why travelling? I love to travel because it allows you to meet new cultures, taste new foods and learn to respect the differences, which I believe opens new horizons in my personal growth.
Why Crossfit? It is a very challenging sport that allows me to prove that I can exceed my self and conquer my fears and new challenges.
Hi All,
I am Mahrous , I am old developer

I change them from time to time :))
I start with C++ in 96
then php,MySQL,Asp,VB6.VB.net,JavaScript,Java
now, I fall in love with Kotlin,Python,Kivy and last one Flutter,Dart
my old dream was the flight
but now I am just a programmer
Hey All,
I've been in development since the mid-nineties - at school it was something that interested me and it seemed that I could make a living doing it (and was better than the alternatives given to me by my careers advice teacher). Due to major anxiety issues, however, I have always tried to keep my head down and stay invisible.
Well, I've still got those issues but decided it's never too late to push yourself to try new things!
I've recently started to talk at conferences about the human side of development. Both the ways that I have gotten through challenges in my career, and the mistakes that I and my team have made - and what we have learnt from them! And, thought that maybe these would make blog posts as well!
So now all I have to do is get the courage to write the first one :)
It's such an important topic, and I can't wait to read your first article! Welcome to the community.
Thank you, Jesse!
Just trying to figure out how to split it up (or in my anxiety terms: procrastinating because of fear :)) and it'll be written and posted!
Hi!
I found Dev.to trying to figure out core Vue.JS concepts.
I need to create UI that I designed two weeks ago and I'm completely new to JS frameworks. I used to be tech. support and tester and now came to design and frontend development.
Excuse my English, my speaking/writing level is rather bad.
You'll find there's no judgement here on the speaking/writing level. There's no better way to practice the language than to use it. Welcome!
Hi I'm Bernard running a startup pumpedfuel.com , I'm seeking anyone who has experience, knowledge, tips and/or pointers they can share writing vehicle embedded apps Android Automotive, Apple Carplay or Automotive Grade Linux - regards
Hello! I have now read too many great posts on this dev.to to not have an account here. My background is in cloud and distributed systems. I worked in AWS prior to leaving to explore open source software, blockchain, and figuring out how to improve cloud technology.
Hi! I am new here in dev.to! Hope to contribute meaningful articles in this platform while I continue learning and help others out.
Currently I develop mobile apps, feel free to visit my portfolio @ jmdg.io.
I wrote the apps using Kotlin/Java for Android, Swift for iOS and leaning towards making my new apps with Flutter!
Hope to get in touch with you all soon!
Welcome to dev.to! Looking forward to your first post.
Thank you, Nick!
So far so good. Been having fun and leaning here at dev.to -- it's really a good place to share interesting topics!
Hi Im Clare. Started teaching myself html/css and JS around 6 months ago so im a complete beginner. Previously worked in healthcare but a brain injury forced me to consider new options. After doing a few Intro to Programming courses i definitely caught the bug!! Hoping to learn as muuch as possible!
Hello :),
I just discovered this place.
I am a mathematician with mostly self-taught front end developer skills (HTML, CSS, JavaScript). Working in psychological research I used to program with MATLAB, while my university studies I used Java.
Hi 👋, I’m a french front-end engineer based in London. As a developer, I love building things that help make user’s happy. As a person, I also love making developer’s lives easier through coaching, mentoring, and automation.
Hi everyone,
Been a lurker here for a while, thought I'd say hello.
Been coding since I was 33, am now 42 and in my 3rd role.
I've mostly been in desktop old fashioned work with winforms,. Net and sql server.
However I'm interested in graph databases, constraint based programming and neural networks - these areas interest me as they feel like they would be converging interests I could use to solve interesting problems.
Currently exploring sql graph for a configurator validation tool for one business.
I'm not as keen on front end work as many others, I prefer to hang around back end, data stuff and code generation, middleware and the like.
As for advice for others, novices and otherwise, older books like code complete 2, pragmatic programming, programming pearls and the like are all valuable reading. And the newest cleverest stuff is often, very often stuff from the 60s and 70s from what I can see, except with more horsepower.
That's all for now :)
Hi all! I'm a GIS Analyst working for the Raleigh's (NC) parks department. I don't know that I'd call myself a developer, but definitely am excited by all the ways I can use code to create my own custom tools for working with and visualizing spatial data. I've been reading lots of interesting posts linked back to Dev.to and finally decided I should join the conversations going on here. I intend at some point to share some posts about my experiences using Python and JavaScript to do all sorts of fun stuff with maps. In the meantime, looking forward to learning more from y'all here!
Hi all! My name is Jan and I'm from Ljubljana, Slovenia. I've always been fascinated with computers and everything that came along with. When I first came across programming, I was about 12yo, and had a great chance to learn Pascal, but putting it of, never came throught. So it took me about 16 years to realise, that I want something more challenging than my regular job(I'm currently working in a paper factory in four shifts 'oh, the irony'). So I went back to school (Higer Vocational College, Informatics) and got the basics in C#, SQL, HTML/CSS...
Learning is a bit slow,because I have two kids(a toddler and a baby), but it's motivating, because I'm not doing it just for myself.
I came across this platform by accident and couldn't be happier about it. So I hope, that in the future, I'll be able to contribute and help other devs and devs to be, to grow.
Got a couple of hobbies to: playing games, reading and every possible technology I can study.
Hey! How is everyone? My name is Damian. I am very passionate about becoming a web developer here in NYC, my home town. I'm currently going to school for web development and admin, with about a year left. Any advice or guidance is welcome. Thank you all in adavnce !

Hi, I'm Michele from Italy. I love programming since I was a child.
I'm here to learn something new and get some inspiration.
I wasn't expecting to write a presentation, I've just signed in to turn on the dark theme but I'm happy to be in now.
Hi everyone, I'm Guntur. I am just so excited about writing my experience about code. The first time I learned HTML in high school, I got a hug from her (my senior). Soo, I continue to learn about code, cause woman has always code and man should compile it. Haha
Hello Devs!

Hi all!
I've started to see dev.to articles more and more and yesterday finally I decided to join when I saw how welcoming the community is :)
What I liked so far a lot is that the community seems to be super helpful and interested, which is something you lack in most of the other communities. Keep up the good work!
I am a fullstack engineer, specialising in modern frontend technologies like React, and golang, nodejs in the backend. I love developing tools, it's basically my passion. I started programming when I was 12 years old, so I guess that makes me a self-taught person :)
Looking forward to engage more with the community!
Hi! I'm a Developer turned Entrepreneur with close to 10 years of experience.

Hi! I'm interested to join a community without any formalities.I'm currently working with django and also i'm also interested in learning js. Since, Dev.to was working with react js , i joined to discuss with him and other members . Thank you.
Hi! Found this community through a great JS data graph post. After doing Frontend Development and running a small agency for about ten years. I took a partial break (I can't ever entirely quit) to recover from Open Source community and life burn out. Now I'm rested and enjoying exploring Hydra JS, Firebase, and other cool things while looking for full-time work.
Hi guys. I am a police officer from Poland... After work hours I master my programming skills...😏 I am in love with python but currently, I learn some javascript and react. Maybe I will become software/web developer someday...😊 At least I hope so. Keep your fingers crossed. Thanks in advance 😃
Here is my GitHub account if anyone wants to look at my projects.
G'day fellow Devsters & their big, fat, black, cats & a handful, or so, of the cat's scrawny, wormy, mangy, worthless, mongrel gutted kittens. I'm tryin' to get my head around, coding and the various platforms & applications that are out & about in the Developer Community. In my previous employment, I had buggar all use for a computer, I was much better at kickin' a crooks door down, at daybreak. So it came to pass, that the Karma bus, was passin' by, a few years back & I was busted up, as a passenger, in a roll over accident & lost a heap of physical prowess. So rather than sit around, lettin' day time TV, turn my mind to mush. I convinced myself that a bloke, may be able to turn a quid, on-line, whilst tryin' to preserve, what's left of his, tiny, little fistful, of gray matter. Keep grinnin'.
Welcome. You can & will be able to make a good living. Start by reading everything you can & engaging with the smartest people you can (for right now you are stuck with me until you can find those of greater intellect).
Focus on the results, not learning, make things, don't be online for the sake of it, Make more things, get traffic & attention or users to them. Read more. Make more things.
Keep doing that mostly. Hours & hours a day & then a breakthrough you have no idea how it happened. That is the startup success story of many.
Let me know what you are trying to get your head around & I'll push you on to the path going the right direction.
Hey Everybody,
My name is Jasper, I started programming in college, didn't major in it because the department wasn't very good but I've been continuing do so ever since and I'm currently in a coding bootcamp. Hoping to get a real coding job soon :)
When I'm not learning coding, you'll probably find me yelling at the TV about the football match with more passion than a Brit.
Hello everyone. I'm Anurag.
Right now I'm in my 2nd year of college. I always wanted to be able to programme. I first started with Android Development. I had no programming experience and because of that, I actually found myself copying pasting code from courses(yes it's a harsh truth). I learnt a little bit of C++, Java, Python.
To be honest I actually wasted my first year trying different things like Android, Selenium, Competitive programming, blockchain, designing etc.
In November 2018, I started with Web Development. Completed a course on Udemy (Web Dev Bootcamp Colt Steele). This course got me interested in Web Development. Then I took a couple of courses on JS (Jonas) and React (Mosh Hamedani). Built a few projects two full-stack web apps with Node & React and PHP & React.
Nowadays I'm looking into React Native (coming back to mobile dev 😜)
That's all about me. 😛
I would love to connect with other developers so I can learn more 😊
Have a great day :)
Hi everyone I'm TJ.
I am a beginning software developer. I have been learning for about 2 years now, going through FreeCodeCamp. I have my Front End Certification, and JS Algorithms and Data Structures Certification as well. These are the legacy certifications from FreeCodeCamp. I am currently learning React and who knows what will be next.
I currently work in the Commercial Aviation and have been for quite a while, it is what my background is in. I am a Private Pilot, but I have not flown in years. However flying is like riding a bike, pretty easy to hop back into it. When it comes to Aviation in general though I know a lot about operational items. If you ever have the one off questions about anything Aviation related, feel free to ask.
I have a huge passion for tech outside of work and programming is just one of many. I just realized about a week ago I have enough experience to get a job as a Front End Developer lol. Still trying to figure out where all this will take me, but I just find it fun. I also have a small business where I do a lot of repair work for computers and phones for people.
I stumbled across Dev.to when just Googling some random thing I needed a fix for while coding. I liked the community and decided to join. Not huge on the Social Media thing, but I do want to get more immersed in the software field.
Some questions for conversation:
I will enjoy talking to everyone.
Hi.. dev.to ! I am kind of beginner and want to learn more of web technologies. And the web itself.
I came across dev.to onto my news feed.. in google app.
I have developed some basic projects with MEAN stack..
And still learning..
Excited..!!!
Hello everyone! Name’s Zoran, or Zoka for short. I’ve been doing web design and frontend coding for more than 15 years now and I’ve decided to share with you my experience, knowledge and new stuff I learn.
I’ll post my first post shortly. It’s a history lesson and advice in one :)
Hi all, I am a software engineer.I am interested in web and mobile app development. I am new to JavaScript and been learning it for quiet sometime. I also like to explore its popular framework like React, Angular and Vue. I think JavaScript is the language for now.
Hey! A good friend told me this is the place to start. I dipped my toes into programming last year and I was just contacted for a job... I feel like I'm in way over my head. Hopefully you guys can be a life raft.
Hey Everyone. I'm Shubham. From India. I'm mechanical student but found interest and passion in web development & programming stuff. Well I am beginner and I want to become professional in web development no matter what hard work it takes I am ready to do everything. Hope you all people here support me in this mech to web developer journey. ❤️
Hello Peeps,
I am Varun, a web enthusiast by passion and profession and currently working in Singapore. I love playing around with web tools and technologies and building web apps that works on desktop, mobile and anything in between.
I am really moved by the love and passion for technology possessed by this platform members, and that dragged me here. This platform is a one stop solution for keeping pace with ever changing technology trends, helping each other and making new friends.
Looking forward for any recommendation from the front-end folks for the new joiner.
Cheers and Beers!!!
Hi! I googled the Joel Test as I do from time to time. I'm interested in clean coding, both learning more about it and discuss, teach and blog about it. I google the Joel Test for inspiration, as many people reflect on it and I found Alex Fawkes post of reflections The Joel List: 20 years later here on Dev.
So basically, I'm just trying to widen my horizon by interacting with people about clean coding and, for that matter, coding techniques, principles etc.
I'm currently working as a software developer at a large Swedish bank, using Delphi Pascal, c++ and c#.
Looking forward to interacting with the Dev community.
I started my career as SW developer in 1986 year on 8bit computer with OS CP/M and Z80 assembler. Next it was MSDOS, Turbo (Borland) Pascal, DBase, FoxPro, Windows, SQL, C++, Visual Basic, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, PostgreSQL, .NET, C#, ... From 1998 freelance developer. Today I'm mainly using C# and WPF with MSSQL. Now I decide to learm some modern JS framework - Vue.js and Quasar. And articles about Vue.js found by google lead me to dev.to web.
Hey!
My name is Luís Cardoso. I'm from Coimbra, a little city in Portugal. I've been a frontend engineer since 2011, when I started working with jQuery and Backbone. A few years later I discovered React, started using in my work and I've been using it as much as I can since then.
Back in 2011 I started working at a very small startup where I'm actually still working. The company has since grown a lot and although that process wasn't always smooth it has been a lot of fun.
I've actually written a blog post about my journey at Feedzai (the company I work for) here.
More recently I've been trying to get more involved in the frontend community, specially by doing talks in local meetups, workshops in universities, blog posts and open sourcing some code.
I'm my spare time I do landscape photography and Karate.
Let me know if you have any question!
Hi everyone! The name is Luke. I'm a software engineer currently living in Texas where I work remotely for an event registration platform. My daily work is done in RoR and React but i've spent time with PHP, Node and have done a little iOS stuff.
Right now I'm building a side-project alongside my wife. Our goal for the year is to attract 1 paying customer! On the code side of things, I've been learning about CSS grids and SVG animations and i've been trying to implement that into the side project.
Glad to have found this community! Look forward to speaking with y'all :)
Hello! I'm a dev from Perth, Australia, professionally I'm a cloud advocate and tech lead mostly working with NodeJS, Python and Powershell to make cloud platforms dance. Outside of work I dabble in Alexa development, most of the skills I've written have been inspired by my young kids or working in tech. Came here after seeing a series of DevSecOps posts about Microsoft Azure and liked the community!
Hey guys!
I'm not very good at writing. Trying to work on that.
Nor is English my first language.
As my profile says, I'm a "35 year-old junior front-end web developer" from Belgrade, Serbia.
As you can imagine, I only started getting into this industry after the age of 30. It hasn't been easy, especially in a country as broken, corrupted, twisted as Serbia.
But I finally made it. I finally managed to find a developer job at my age :)
It just goes to show there is no such thing as a wrong time to start doing something. It is an overused phrase, but it really is better late than never.
As for content, I started sharing some thoughts about jobhunting and the industry, and documenting my journey on instagram, and some of the posts were pretty good, so I'm thinking of sharing them here, roughly once a week.
I called them #TipOfTheWeek on IG, but I'm really bad at coming up with names, so feel free to shoot me suggestions, I'm sure yours will be better than mine.
Have a great day!
Hello World ! I'm Baptiste (aka Medru).
I started Web Development five years ago, I'm now a FrontEnd teacher and I created my Web Agency.
I really love to create pure CSS projects (like games and so on), so I'ill share some of them here. I'm also here to find some resources, ideas and way of coding ! :)
Hi everyone,
I'm Thomas. After going to Law Uni I quickly got bored and recently learned how to code. I've recently been hired as a FullStack Ruby on Rails web dev and I'm here to keep learning new things. It's not easy everyday to start from scratch in a new area but thanks to posts like the one written on this website, I gain more and more confidence :) So thank you all !
Hi Dev.to! Google brought me here, lol. I'm fairly new and I'm just getting into self teaching Mobile development so I can make some Apps this summer.
I'm studying Computer Science in college, I love cats, Pilates, reading about Tech, things that relate to medical advancements, Chicken salads and the scent Lavender. Random, huh?

I'm Nelo, new here, new into coding world but somehow I've got a fire burning about learning to code. I've tried few times before but struggle to understand the basic core of coding, the simple way how thing works in a few or more words. I promise I'll read every comment.
Hail and well met!
Just beginning my dev journey after a decade in the military. Found this via the Coding Blocks Podcast, which I listen to religiously. Starting an internship and hoping for employment by the end of the year. Look forward to reading everyone’s posts!
Ohayo! I'm me (as you probably noticed 😁).
I currently work on a trillion different technologies, but mainly backend microservices built with the Microsoft stack.
I've come across Dev.to in a totally random google search and liked some other posts, and eventually came to love the community, so here I am.
On my spare time, I will 100% sure be playing something from Blizzard :)
Hi!
My name is Alex and I've been working as a full stack developer for quite a while now. On my spare time I learn flamenco on my guitar and I have 4 lovely cats!
The main reason why I joined dev.to is to overcome my fear to failure and release my open source side project to the wild: dev.to/4lejandrito/meet-creepyface....
I think dev.to is a great place to learn from other devs, and the design is awesome!
Hi fam!
Am Bianca, from Kenya. I came across dev.to on my search and I immediately fell in love.I got my passion for tech when I was a small girl, I used to sneak to computer labs and grew fond of the "glowing boxes" which I later knew are computers. Am supper excited to be joining and being part of this great community.
Am into cloud computing and ready to explore other technical areas. on a day-to-day basis, I deploy workloads for both clients and personal needs to the cloud. I have extensive experience with amazon web services cloud, as well as MS Azure.
My go-to moments aside from this, I love hiking, movies, cooking (ALOT) and manipulating stuff online.
I can't wait to see what the future holds!!
Hi, I am Nathan. I’m a student right now, but I have spent some time working as a software engineer over the last summer. I look forward to getting back to work this as well.
I first got into programming when i was about 14 or 15 years old. At the time I was bad at spelling and writing, still am to be honest. But there was just something calling me to programming. Still not sure what it is.
So I did struggle to learn at first but I stuck at it, as I was determined to provide to my peers and others that nothing could stop me.
To all newcomers to development and programming I say this. it’s not what others say or do that defines you, it’s the actions you take your self that benefit and defines you.
Hi everybody! My name is Iain, I'm a full-stack developer from London, United Kingdom, and in some interweb circles I can be found as "Chaffity"!
I'm a huge advocate of OSS, so naturally I've lurked here for quite a while, so here I am finally signing up to join in the talks!
1.) I heard about DEV.to through Chingu and am glad I did to add to my arsenal of resources to help me become a better dev. I'm a tech college graduate but am not working in tech like I would like to which is why I am here. I am fascinated by computers due I think to my very inquisitive nature but have struggled so much learning programming but am a place where I'm decent but still need to work on some concepts. I'm not giving up on my dream of becoming a developer due to fear and "impostor syndrome" because this is MY journey and no one else's and so I would say to the newcomer to get rid of fear and stick with it!
Hi! Stumbled on this site through a JS slack channel. I love reading articles and learning about all the new, cool, exciting things which are happening in development. I'm a frontend developer for a small library automation software company. I love learning, love getting better, and excited to gain the type of knowledge and experience which everyone here has so I can teach and help others learn cool, new things.
Good day, everyone!
I am currently a web developer, who want to learn more about programming (not only the web, but also many things about the computer).
I am going to share some of my works here, but I can only create new during my free time. I will also going to share my previous works (and write some of the details how I learned to create those things). I hope you'll like it.
I am happy being a part of this community, and thank you.
Hey everyone! Glad to be here, stumbled upon dev.to while reading a post from a fellow cloud architect over in Mastodon.
I don't know if this post will go through or not, because I've been unable to make a first post announcing myself with a placeholder in my own feed.
Little indication of what might be the problem either. Maybe someone here can shred a little light on the issue?
Here's the screenie w/error msg:
Thanks and happy to be here amongst members of such a community!
Kindest regards,
Bradley

Okay this is frustrating.
Here's the direct URL to the share of the screenie, if anyone can offer a solution or suggestion:

Hello! I'm a senior .NET developer at a shop called STR. We do hotel market analytics primarily, and I'm the technical lead on our Digital Solutions team. That's a fancy way of saying that I wrangle a bunch of developers together to make web applications for our enterprise. I've been doing .NET stuff for about 7 or 8 years now, with a smattering of JavaScript exposure throughout those years. I'd like to learn a lot more about JS, though. And Python. And everything. I really just love learning new stuff.
I'm considering using dev.to as a means to write down things that I learn so I can have people tell me what I'm missing. I can't remember who it was or on what podcast I heard it, but someone said that writing stuff publicly really helped them retain knowledge, and I wanna do that too. Maybe the latest React Podcast with Kent C. Dodds? Anyway, that's a thing I think I would enjoy, so I'm going to go ahead and do that.
What would I recommend to a newcomer today? Hm. I think one of the things I've told some of the junior devs on our team is to be ambitious and don't worry about failing. Sometimes, you write something that is awesome and looks great and... it doesn't work how it should, and it gets shot down. And that's FINE. The important thing is that you learned something new - you were ambitious, you thought of an approach to a problem, and you tried it out. Sure, it wasn't the actual solution, but at the very least, there was a knowledge gain there. Also? Don't defer to me because of my title. I've got a "senior" in front of it, but, just because I do, doesn't make me infallible. Sure, I've been around the block a few times and seen a lot of wild stuff, but I am still learning stuff every day, and I'm often wrong about how stuff works too.
Hi Dev.to, glad to be part of dev.to community. Here to learn the latest trends and to contribute. I'm mostly into Go and python development. I've coded in C-language for more than 10 years. For newcomers, I would recommend them not to hesitate in learning and just dive into the stuff you want to learn right away.
Hello Dev.to! I am lost on the cs field and i found myself here, i am really tired of university, i study computer science and communication engineering and i am so stressed.
I hope that i find myself here in this community, that will make life much easier and more comfort.
Hi! Dev.to, I am Promise, a Ruby on Rails Software Developer, I just started out with writing articles. I have been pondering on where to start with either Medium or Dev.to.
I finally made the decision to start here after reading @ryanfarney3 article on Why Your Technical Blogs Belong On Dev.to
I hope to connect with lots of other awesome developers out here and also learn new and exciting stuff here.
I feel glad to be a part of this community.
Any suggestions on how to write awesomely here?
That’s awesome! My biggest suggestions are be yourself and keep writing and pushing yourself to learn. It may be uncomfortable to publish articles, especially on topics you are trying to learn yourself. But, I promise you will continue learning and receive valuable feedback if you publish them here :)
Hi! I heard about Dev.to via Twitter and saw how supportive the community seems.
I'm a tech analyst by day who's experimenting with sentiment analysis in AWS Comprehend. I'm also a community moderator for OpenSource.com. Part of that role involves recruiting new writers. If anyone here wants to write for us, please reach out!
hi hi hi, I'm Jory and I'm here because I met Ben the other day and it reminded me that I had been meaning to sign up (long time listener, first time caller). hopefully will find the time to post here soon!
nice to meet everyone!
