Hello dev community, 

I am 16 and primarily a game developer but also have experience doing back end development on python as well as a javascript on a basic level. Currently i am helping manage a team of over 10 people on a new game.

I can program in Python and Lua, and have experience using blender, unity and roblox studio as well as other programs such as photoshop, Drawplus and editing programs.

Nice to meet you all, I have recently joined this platform and am looking forward to discussing and conversing with you all in the future!

My buddy was just at the Roblox conference which was last week. Roblox is rapidly growing which is awesome. In my teenage years, all I did was put together teams to try to mod or build video games.

At my mom's computer store we had a large conference table and I'd have 14 or so at the start of the project and near the end, it would be 3 people. Building teams is a serious challenge.

Discord certainly makes things easier now.

The first game I modded was UT99. So that might give you an idea how long ago.

Do you have a cool game idea for the Roblox platform?

If you ever want some infrastructure knowledge with cloud computing I can give you a bit of direction.

My buddy was just at the Roblox conference which was last week.

Ah I missed that as it was while i was on holiday 💔

Roblox is rapidly growing which is awesome

Crazy fast,100m active users now.

Building teams is a serious challenge.

Found the same until I started properly networking and earning a name for myself on discord.

Do you have a cool game idea for the Roblox platform?

Yep, working on it. 😉 I'm project lead.

If you ever want some infrastructure knowledge with cloud computing I can give you a bit of direction.

That'd be great, def need in the future.
If you ever need any help with python, lua, video gaming markets, Roblox.
Feel free to DM me in the connect app.

Hello! I'm 34 yo and have been learning coding for about three years now without much success. I have a goal in mind which is to start working as a jr. developer before my next birthday (Aug 1, 2020).

Hi Roel!

Good luck with your job search.
For startups, technical prowess is not as important as getting things done.

So if you can get 1-to-1 with the hiring person/key decision-maker and speak to what their startup does and tell them what you would do to impact the business and then just get started without asking that's a great way to break in.

I'd add to that, that bringing other skills along with coding can be a great way to outshine other applicants. E.g. if you were an accountant before deciding to start coding, then joining a company that develops accounting software would give you a huge advantage over a kid fresh out of college who don't know his debits from his credits :)

Hello everyone. I've been working on my developer skills for a couple years now and figure I need to broaden my community beyond those around me with no interest in it.

Hey markamaze, I'm 34 and just graduated last year with an Associates degree after over a decade in Entertainment and Special Effects, and got super lucky landing a job at a Software company. If I can do it, you can as well.

What worked for me was to go to a lot of networking events, especially Meetup events focused on the languages I liked learning about. Then, try and find little free one-day or weekend conferences where you can go learn as well. Don't just focus on learning though! Focus on getting to know the other people who come out and get to know the community you're in. So many opportunities come from the community and your own network. If you're not surrounded by people who have this interest, that's ok, but the more people around you with the interest, the faster you will grow and land that gig.

Best of luck in your endeavors!

I'm a late starter, too. I'm 37 and been working professionally as a software dev for 3 years. I had a 10-year career in biology, but it just wasn't going anywhere. I'd been teaching myself as a hobby and doing a bit of WordPress dev/admin as a side-gig to help save up money. Quit my job and went to a 12-week bootcamp.

A couple months after the bootcamp, I got a full-time job as a junior UI developer. Then about 2 years after that, got promoted at the same company to intermediate software developer.

The bootcamp wasn't everything, but it did give me connections and an ability to learn fast. On top of that, already have progressed through a career has definitely helped me continue to progress and grow in this career. I know how to be in a job, how to be a mentor, how to be effective in a team.

I think part of changing careers is finding a company that's a good fit for giving you a shot - not as a favour but because they recognize that your past experience is a huge asset in addition to your tech skills.

In the bootcamp, I was definitely one of the older students, but that was okay. I didn't end up making super close friends like a lot of the 20-somethings did, but I wasn't there for that. I did find people that I enjoyed working with professionally.

Not to say that a bootcamp is the only way, but for me, I really needed the structure and the guidance on what to learn next. There's always people to compare yourself to, but there's only one you with your breadth of experience and maturity - just have to find the right role where they see that as a value!

Hello,

I've been making, fixing and debugging WordPress sites and Angular applications over 10 years.
I have mid to advanced knowledge about JS, Angular, PHP, MySQL, WP, Apache, Git and same other open source technologies.

Also I'm father and a husband that struggles to find a steady job / projects where I'll be able to earn money for my family while doing what I love to do.

I need some guidance how to become better coder in order to go the next level and make awesome stuff.

I hope this is the right place where I can find some answers.

Hi Chris. It is never to late. Thank you for your response :) It is good to know that there are people like you who wants to help.
Nice to meet you , too.

I'm currently finishing Laravel RESTful / Angular (7) project. I'm giving my best to be coded with best coding practice, but I'm not sure if made good choices, if I coded all methods (made all classes) in the way to be considered as a best coding practice.

I need guidance how to use my "raw" Angular and PHP OOP knowledge and learn how to make good reusable code that will be ease for someone else to maintain and extend.

I'm struggling to see the big picture and make tho whole of the application in my mind before I start to coding.

Maybe this will sound funny to the experienced coders, but these are some of the questions that I have not complete answers for, and need help to find them in order to become better coder:

Where and why to use Interface or Abstract class?
When and why to use Models in Angular?

...

There are much more questions and much more to learn, but for now I don't have systematic approach how to learn all that I need in order to go to the next level and became better programmer.

...

I'm always open for new challenges.

Thank you for your time.

Best regards
Cedomir

I'm afraid I don't have much Angular or PHP skills! I'm mostly React :)

Could you maybe make a DEV post with those questions? Or: ask on stackoverflow or twitter? Also: if there are any Angular meetups in your city, then you could message the organizers - they are usually happy to help, or find someone who could help you.

Sorry - hope you figure that out! It sounds like you're on the right track though: just keep working on it! The feeling that you don't know what you're doing will be replace with joy once you figure it out :) Good luck!

Although I agree with RMS, so I guess you could say "extremist"! Nothing motivates me towards the movement more than knowing it's an ethical imperative.

Hello everyone,

I am an older developer by the look of it (I'm in my 40's (o.O) ) and while I have always loved to write code (make the computer do the thing!), I have only recently gotten more involved in it.

I'm also an avid table top roleplayer (Dungeons and Dragons and Shadowrun are my faves), and computer gamer.

I've messed about with Basic on the Commodore 64, QBasic in DOS, COBOL (never again), Turbo Pascal (eek!), C++ (in German), Visual Basic, C#, HTML, JavaScript, CSS, and so on. I really enjoy working with SQL of all things.

Looking to learn about AWS, Azure, REASTful services, micro-services, kubernetes, GraphQL (which looks awesome), and later neural networks, machine learning and AI.

Never stop learning.

I think that's enough waffle from me for the time being.

Peace.

Hello! I'm Kenneth and I currently work as a Cloud Engineer. We use an ITSM tool (Service Now) as a front end GUI for the enterprise so anyone can spin up a virtual machine quickly and get to developing. I write and support the puppet code that does all of the provisioning.

My goal is to keep learning and thriving in the cloud computing space. It's an exciting time to be involved. I completely changed my career a little more than a year ago and I couldn't be happier with my decision.

I'm glad I found a good community to geek out with :D

Hello DEV community!

I’m currently getting a degree in Computer Programming. I’m still inexperienced but I love learning new things. Some recent things I’ve been interested in is Julia and compiler design. I have a plan to build my own programming language in the future. This is going to be an extremely long-term project but I look forward to finishing it in the future.

Thank you! It certainly is ambitious, and that’s why I’m taking it slowly to make sure that I have the ability to create the language to my highest standards. I’ve currently only got a tokenizer and some documentation, but over the course of a few years I hope to fully develop it into a functioning language.

Hey Dev community!
I’m a systems developer currently working for a publishing project management company, where I develop and maintain the central database. I am passionate about creating automated solutions for users that increase efficiency and productivity.

Up to now I’ve just been learning by trial and error on the job, and my goal is to learn more coding languages outside of VBA for Access so I can transition to a full-time developer role once I gain enough knowledge and skills. I’m still unsure which route to take, so I’m starting with web dev and seeing where that takes me.

I’m always very grateful to learn from anyone, whether new or seasoned in any area of development. If you have any advice for me, please reach out and share. I hope with time and experience to pay that forward, too! :-)

Hi Matt! Welcome.

I'm always interested to hear from engineers-turned-eningeering-managers: how did you find that transition? Is there any advice that you'd give to others looking to make that change? (Since you're going back to an engineer role, I assume you found out that you like being in the technology more?)

thanks!

Collapse
 
mattdionis profile image
Matt Dionis

The transition from Engineer to Engineering Manager was jarring for me. I went from writing code ~90% of the time to < 20% of the time very quickly. I found that I was exhausted at the end of a workday but oddly felt like I hadn't accomplished much due to the lack of code contribution. Obviously, this wasn't true as I was efficiently leading a team of engineers now but it can be difficult to fight that feeling at first. I enjoyed managing for a while but eventually found myself diving into side projects on nights and weekends to get my "coding fix".

I'd say that the transition back to individual contributor can be rough as well. Succeeding at technical interviews when you've only been writing ~1 hour of code a day can be challenging.

I don't regret my time in management land as I feel like it sharpened my communication, prioritization, and architectural design skills and reinforced how much I like programming on a daily basis.

Thread Thread

Yeah, that makes sense - thanks for your insight! It's funny how we can work a whole day (on managing say), and then feel like we haven't accomplished anything :) I definitely get needing a "code fix" too :)

Hey Everyone,

Nice to meet you all!

I'm a remote software developer and huge enthusiast of remote working.

In the past I had some medical issues that forced me to rescind my first job offer out of college.

After some not so fun times, I buckled down, focused on webdev with vue and django, and was able to get to the point where despite my medical issues I could work remotely. I'm really thankful to be in an industry where remote working is possible.

I recently started my own blog where I share my experience as a remote developer along with programming knowledge.

Scrolling through twitter I saw someone mention this site, and it seemed pretty cool, so here I am!

Hey Chris,

I've found remote work to work smoothly when you have an active team engaging with each other on slack or some other platform.

It can be a real pain when communication is too asynchronous and can really slow down development in my experience.

I've seen a lot of devs who don't communicate well struggle in these remote roles.

I want to be more independent, work remotely and overseas - which is a bit harder as a project manager. That's why I've been studying React for half a year now and aiming to change careers soon.
Due to my seniority level as project manager, I've been struggling to try to come up with a reasonable resume, where I can express my willingness and reasons to become a developer.

Any advice is much appreciated.

Welcome Veller!

It will difficult to change careers - but definitely possible. I think explaining that you wanted a career change, so you taught yourself React (which is really impressive!) will get you in the door at least. More and more companies are getting more accepting of self-taught and bootcamp taught people who want to switch roles/jobs.

Good luck!

Long time developer, just discovering this community. Primarily C# on the backend with TS & React on the front end, but these days I'm trying to code less and turn my projects into companies which involves talking to a lot of people :)

Projects I'm currently working on:

Comb - Jira/Asana competitor. Comb gives you a daily schedule of tasks across all your projects. Incomplete tasks roll over to the next day. We do time tracking & reporting of time spent per project & estimated vs actual. We also have roadmaps for project planning.

tasks.withcomb.com

SquidQuota - personal budgeting with a focus on staying cashflow positive. I've worked a lot on accounting software, so some of it has rubbed off on me. I wasn't happy with existing solutions so when I got frustrated enough with Excel, I built my own.

I'm a full-stack web developer in New York City with a passion for building tools to limit repetitive problem solving and facilitate effective collaboration. With a background in business management, I discovered software development through creating technology-based tools that bring large teams together behind collaborative goals. Bringing strong team-building skills compiled with project management experience, I help companies of all shapes and sizes drive productivity while building team morale.

I've been a resourceful creator and problem solver since childhood. My grandfather included me in designing and building my own treehouses and introduced me to logical puzzles. Those activities conditioned me to approach all types of problems in a methodical way, breaking them down into step-by-step actions to achieve a solid result. When I found myself without the proper tools to organize and communicate with teams of up to 120 employees, I was able to break complex problems down and teach myself how to build the tools I needed.

I have also been an unabashed Star Trek The Next Generation fan since childhood, which inspired me to become a more calm, curious, and courageous person. I love to travel -often on my own- as a means to shaking myself loose from my comfort zone and allowing myself the opportunity to reflect on my life at home from a distance. While I could travel 365 days a year I've found that being a devoted dog dad helps keep me grounded and I'm fascinated by the side-by-side evolution of dogs and people.

Welcome Jack to Dev.to!

There was a recent discussion going on about a Vacation mode. I was making the case could be good for the mental health of users.

Give Users the Ability to Temporarily Hide Their Accounts (Vacation Mode) #3252

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Users occasionally want the ability to temporarily hide / deactivate their account so that they're able to keep their content and history on DEV but if need be can take a break due to work/other online commitments.

Describe the solution you'd like

Perhaps a user could turn on "vacation" mode so that their account is out of view. During this mode:

  • the user wouldn't be able to comment/use reactions/write posts/make listings/message over Connect (maybe other actions?)

  • their writing, profile, and comments wouldn't be visible. (anything that would identifying activity)

  • they could still be logged in to view their feed, add items to their reading list,change things about their profile while it's out of view, etc.

  • notifications would still be controlled under their own setting

Describe alternatives you've considered I considered a similar idea to the above where the user would have to completely be logged out during their vacation.

Additional context Right now, when users have to delete their presence on the site for whatever reason, they can't get it back. They must create a fresh account.

Some say its pink I say its more of a salmon colour.

Dear dev community,

I am silent reader since a while and now I want to take action and publish my own articles. I am a scientific employee with focus on developing and evaluating educational software.

My current projects are about a flexible nursing curriculum application that comes with a classroom management and which focus on interactionist didactics (as opposed to behavioristic didactics). The other project is about a large scale mobile app for functional illiterates to assess and improve the fundamental reading and writing skills in German.

Both projects inhibit a great complexity, crossing many disciplines and will serve as a great source of controversial output to be generated.

Thus, my posts will be on total various topics, ranging from very technical to very social.

I hope to generate new thoughts and ideas for anyone interested in software and education and I insist you to throw your most critical arguments towards my posts.

Much thanks and love to all of you!

Hi fellow devs!

I'm a 21 year old who just transplanted to Denver. I'm making a career change from being a barber. I had a really awesome job working with amazing clients, but when I decided to move I felt I should try something new. I recently finished my associates, and fell into web development by taking an intro to programming class in my second to last semester. I started self-taught learning during this time & then decided to attend General Assembly's Software Engineering programming here in Denver. It worked out nicely with timing of the move.

Hello everybody!

React Docs brought me here and tbh it looks a cool place so far haha.

I will sound like a cliche and say that I started coding when I was 10 (or maybe earlier idk), when without realizing I was copying PHP code trying to set up a local crack server for CoD MW2. I was too ambitious of a kid and wanted to achieve everything early (and I still am) so I "formally" started coding at 13. Being a kid with no knowledge of English (I moved to the US 3 years ago) I realized that I can't become who I want to become without learning the language first.

So, coding brought me to learning English, which helped me get accepted to an International School from where I got accepted to top US and UK unis.

Following my heart I moved to the states, became a slave of the US Gen Ed for 2 years and now, 9 years later, I am back to where I started from.

I devoured a lot of the Web Dev material during the last 2-3 months of summer break and I am working on a side project right now. During the free time from the project and errands I get deeper into the topics I already know.

Good to meet you all! Sorry for the long into.

Hello Dev Community,

I'm 27 and still I'm not sure where I should go. I mean which career would be good for me. I used to think that web development is great career choice as most of my friends got job in web development and then I decided to be Full Stack Web Developer. When I go deep in this field I realized for creating a single responsive website, I need to develop so many skills and its a vast field. Its really hard to focus on single thing at a moment, as I read, every next moment new library introduce and you HAVE TO be good at using it. I worked in front end, back end, in middleware. Every part should have different skill sets. I'm here for finding answer of what career would be good for me. My job is in Web development. But I want to explore Machine learning, Deep learning, Blockchain, Data Scientist fields as well. Day by day I'm going in depression and anxiety when I get thought of my career. My career is not moving forward. Last year I was working in PHP. This year I'm working in ASP.NET Core and ReactJS. And I'm not good in both. I need guidance of Dev community. Its really hard for me to decide which career path would be right for me. Waiting for reply.

I'm a Marketing Technology consultant who hasn't developed software for at least 10 years, but I’m ready to get back in the coding saddle.

I originally began as an assembly language programmer and naturally added C, PHP and Java along the way.

At some point I took a detour from developing software and spent quite a few years in the world of digital marketing, automation, email marketing and SEO.

Earlier this year I felt the tug to get back into software development, so Dev.to, here I am.

I’m also interested Open Source projects.

Right now I'm learning React & Angular and I intend to eventually move into the freelance space. Anyone freelancing? How did you get into it and how do you manage the logistics of it?

Collapse
 
chrisachard profile image
Chris Achard

My number one advice for starting freelancing is to "become a visible expert in your space". That means that when clients are wondering if you can do the work or not - that you have a place to point and say "Yes I can!"

That could be a blog, or an ebook, or a portfolio of projects online... but make sure you have a place you can point when clients are looking for validation.

My next tip is to just meet a lot of people. If there are any technical meetups in your area, then that's a great place to go (check out meetup.com).

Good luck!

Hello Devs,

I am a CS graduate student at University at Buffalo, NY. Moved to the states last year in pursuit of the American dream. I've been working with Linux from my undergrad days. I was part of a student club which used to manage the LANs and provide services such as IRC, DC++. This experienced influenced my career a lot.

Worked as a SDN/NFV engineer at my first job. Majorly worked on OpenStack and Juniper Contrail along with a lot of other cool stuff. My second job was related to Intent based networking. Just got done with an internship that focused on Docker, etcd, Kubernetes, BOSH and Go dev.

I've benefitted a lot from this community. Looking forward to get to know the smart, cool and awesome folks out here!

Hellooooo! I'm a web dev from Belgium, never been on here before but it was pretty much advertised to me as a less toxic twitter for devs. So I'm here for that!

I mainly work with Laravel and I love to build packages for it. The open source community around Laravel stuff on Github is incredible. I never thought people would take so much time from their lives to contribute to some packages we've made. I'm super thankful for that.

Hoping to find some amazing people on here to learn from.

Cheers!

Hey fellow dev people,

Old-timer (38) here! "Found" dev.to a while back and it seemed like a nice and friendly community so here I am. Not sure if I am nice and friendly myself but sometimes it is possible to change.

I see myself as a full-stack developer, however, most work has been in back-end so far. Current focus is on headless technologies such as GatsbyJS in combination with DatoCMS. Always learning!

Looking into more freelance work alongside my full-time job to fulfill some of the things I can't do at work.

Hope to somehow contribute to this community!

Hello, dev.to world.

I'm a longtime .NET/C# developer who really likes the modern JavaScript world, particularly React.js.

I'm more interested in testing than the average developer, and have several .NET unit testing helper packages on NuGet: nuget.org/profiles/BrianSchroer

I've put a LOT of work into making automated web testing work with Selenium in the past and am thrilled to be able to throw it all away now and use Cypress.io instead, which makes that stuff pretty easy.

I don't blog often, but when I did, it was on Medium. You probably know all the arguments about why dev.to is a better home for technical bloggers than Medium.

I've been coding for a very, very, very long time (coming up on 40 years - I was pretty young when I started getting paid for this) and it's still fun.

Old dogs can learn new tricks. I'm proud to say that I have 40 years of experience, not one year of experience 40 times.

Still not ready for most developers. We will use hybrid solutions for a long time because of entropy. If you know programming, you can think of it like GPU programming. We still need a more precise subsystem (CPU) to talk to Quantum Computers.

That it is everywhere! In your compiler, in your highlight tools of your IDE and more and more!

Now I'm working on a parser for Answer Set Programming languages. It's kind of strange becouse we are used to code in sequential way (even in OOP or functional programming there is "sequential code") and building a parser for this kind of languages is way more easy than creating a parser for ASP because there isn't a sequence.
