Hi everyone! 👋 I'm currently an engineering manager at Uber, in Amsterdam, where I help a team of developers grow every day. Before I transitioned into management, I was a developer for a long time, starting with web, then doing backend and mobile - all the way from Windows Phone, iOS, then Android.

I love to share what I learn learnings, both on my blog and I've written a few articles here as well. I've also recently started writing a book on growing as a software engineer, in a tech company or startup. This is from starting out at the first job, through leveling up to being senior, all the way to the staff/principal levels of making wide company or industry impact. I'm writing the type of book I wish I had earlier in my career. There's a lot of great books on how to write good code, but growing as a software engineer, working at a tech company goes well beyond just coding. If you'd like to get updates on the progress of this book, you can subscribe to updates or follow me here.

Finally, I'd like to share the top thing that helped me grow professionally, in all the environments I've worked in. Don't be afraid to ask the "stupid"/straightforward questions when you join a new company or team. No matter how inexperienced or experienced you are, being able to phrase what you don't know and ask for help really helps you and the person trying to help you. Early on in my career, I was lucky enough to do this subconsciously. Later, I started to do it consciously, whenever starting to learn a new technology. If there was someone around me who knew it well. I would tell them "I'll ask some basic questions when I'm stuck, but I promise to do my research before and not ask the same two questions ever." This simple thing helped me grow so much faster, I recommend you try it if you've not done it before.

I'm excited to be here and contribute, share my expertise and also learn from all of you!

Hi Gergely! You sound very straight forward and simple. The notion of asking questions is really what I too like the most and do the most but as you said, will do a before hand research. I love to read the book since I'm pretty sure, this is going to help me a lot since I just started to climb the ladder in tech industry!!

Hi everyone! My name's Gabi and I'm a software engineer at Etsy. I'm passionate about code, fostering kittens and making technology a more inclusive space for marginalized folks.

I struggle with anxiety around putting myself out there on the internet for criticism but I went to a talk by @jessleenyc at the Write/Speak/Code conference last year and dev.to seems like the perfect place to start sharing my knowledge with (hopefully kind) strangers.

I figure that if you're not pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone, you're not growing, so this is me, pushing myself outside of my comfort zone. 😅 I'm excited to start contributing to the excellent content here and getting to know this community better!

Hi everyone! I'm an AI volcanologist (🌋, rather than 🖖). A condition of my funding is communicating my research, and I'd rather do it in a friendly forum than shout out into the abyss of an obscure web-blog.

Hi Dev Community!

I am a self-taught Web Developer with a Bachelors in Industrial Engineering that decided to switch careers from the manufacturing industry to web development. Interesting enough, one of my first projects was to develop a web-based platform to automate administrative processes on the manufacturing industry. This web development /programmer approach suits me better 😆.

I run ctrl-y blog where I write about learning to program and changing careers.

Learning to program the web on my own has been fun, challenging, and exciting. Having a community to learn from makes it even better!

Hi all, hi Gergely Orosz,

what brought me here was the Indie Hackers podcast with Ben Halpern I think, really inspiring (just as the Interview with Evan You :-))

I'm working on an Open Source temporal NoSQL document storage system called SirixDB written in Java (and a module in Kotlin) in my spare time. In my day to day job I'm also working as a backend Software Engineer. Besides I'm dancing a lot -- swing dances, mainly Lindy Hop and travel to festivals in Europe often times during my holidays :-)

SirixDB (sirix.io or github.com/sirixdb/sirix) is all about efficient versioning of your data. That is on the one hand it reduces the storage cost of storing a new revision during each transaction-commit while balancing read- and write-performance through a novel sliding snapshot algorithm and dynamic page compression. On the other hand Sirix supports easy query capabilities for instance to open a specific revision by a timestamp or several revisions by a given timespan, to navigate to future or past versions of nodes in the tree-structure and so on. It basically never overwrites data and is heavily inspired by ZFS and Git and borrows some ideas and puts these to test on the sub-file level.

In stark contrast to other approaches SirixDB combines copy-on-write semantics on a per revision and per page-level versioning. It does not require a write-ahead-log for consistency.

It all started around 2006 as a university / Ph.D. project of Marc Kramis and I worked on the project since 2007 and already did my Bachelor's Thesis, Master's Thesis as well as several HiWi-Jobs on topics regarding the project and I'm still more eager than ever to put forth the idea of a versioned, analytics plattform to perform analytical tasks based on current as well as the history of the data.

Hello, my name is Ted.

I have just started learning computer programming as a freshman at Tulsa Community College. I am starting with Python. I am handicapped, so I'm not as fast at typing as someone who can use both hands, but I am not going to let that stop me from learning how to code. Some of the questions I'm going to ask may sound simple to an experienced person, but at this point, I'm going to need all the help I can get.

kitplummer profile image

Hey Ted. Having spent some time being one-handed, and knowing a few devers, have some insight. Maybe you've already figured it out, maybe not...

Laptops and their trackpads are way more efficient than a keyboard and mouse. IDEs and their "macros" can help you a lot. Most of the new-breed editors (Atom, VSCode, et al) have good support for hot-keys and language-specific stuff, on top of their contextual menus.

I think you'll find out that coding is as much about thinking as it is typing. You'll optimize the time between the two, as well as figuring out how to context-switch.

Invest as much time in learning to test your code as learning the language. I know for me, I was prone to more syntax (read spelling) issues when I was traveling the whole keyboard with one hand.

I didn't have much luck with speech-to-text tooling, but this was a while back for me. I know some developers who use it pretty well now. I don't know the toolchain but they've figured out how to wire up macros and hot-keys to voice actions.

Good luck to ya!

Hello,
I'm having trouble with the same type of question I ask for help last week. The instructor isn't any help, and I hope you can help me figure this out. After you read the question they expect us to figure out the solution to the code. There are no examples that help to solve this question, and I have no idea where to start.

Write a single statement that assigns avg_sales with the average of num_sales1, num_sales2, and num_sales3.

Sample output with inputs: 3 4 8
Average sales: 5.00

  1. avg_sales = 0 2.
  2. num_sales1 = int(input())
  3. num_sales2 = int(input())
  4. num_sales3 = int(input()) 6.
  5. ''' Your solution goes here ''' 8.
  6. print('Average sales: {:.2f}'.format(avg_sales))

When you have a minute can you help me figure this out, please?

Thank you,

I love being around people who can teach and mentor me to be the best in what I do. The articles here on DEV are just so super awesome that I would love to learn how to write like the distinguished authors of such articles.
I want my voice to be heard (not with the wrong knowledge of course, but with distilled and well filtered content that will come from a community like this one) as every man has a story to tell. I'm certain that my successes, mistakes and failures can help to be an eye-opener to many.

I'm therefore more than excited to see how my own contribution can help inspire the entire coding community.

Hi all, I've been teaching myself web development for 15 years after I taught myself vba and Access databases (With a lot of help from the web of course).

From simple database driven websites I specialised in html emails for a while and built a PHP MySQL driven html email Newsletter building application for a company I was working for and am now building a custom CRM / Time-sheet system for the company I am now working for, again using PHP and MySQL (and HTML and CSS).

I'm loving expanding on it and adding new features and making people's job easier and more productive.

I've also been developing Wordpress websites for a while.

Thanks Chris, I do enjoy working with PHP and have been using PDO and prepared queries for a long time now.

I am particularly interested in security and am always looking for ways to make my web based applications more secure.

Hi everyone,

I feel good about this forum!

I am an independent software developer and content creator. It had not once occurred to me growing up, that I could teach myself engineering and actually be hired to do it, until I did exactly that about two years ago, after leaving a career in public finance as an economic analyst.

I feel very strongly about the quality of information in engineering and software education, especially for people who want to transition their careers or for people who just want to embark on an amazing odyssey. My goal is to add to the effort of creating thorough, clear-cut content that imparts in an insightful way. I believe that anyone can get going with this stuff at any point in their lives.

I plan to contribute as much as I can and as best I can and I can't do it alone.

I recently started a blog.

It's currently focused on programming basics with C as a learning tool. I hope for it to become a resource filled with ground-up tutorials on the most pressing software subjects of our time.

If you read this through to the end then know that you have made me a very happy camper.

I'll see you in the feeds!

Hello guys! 👋

My name is Anton and I am currently an economist that works a normal 9-5 job that has no involvement of programming at all. I do, however, have a big interest in it, so I spend most of spare time (and work time...😇) trying to learn as much as I can as I greatly enjoy it. I have been doing programming on my leisure time for maybe 2-3 years, I hope that in a couple of years I might be working with it in some way.

Since I found this site I have learned so much, and everyone seems so friendly. Finally, I created my own account, and I don't think I'll regret it. I have written some articles about programming myself and hope to share some newly created as soon as possible.

Hey everyone,

I have actually been here since 2017 but was lurking in the corners, slowly building up the courage to post something ( I have a few drafts on Laravel, oAuth, Slack Bots, and general WordPress shenanigans ) 🤭

I'm one of those self-taught people, lead developer, doing front and backend, digital user journey/deanonymization, AB testing, innovation, and process on a large nationwide ( Canada ) automotive website.

I think that my generality has caused me to have a bit of an identity crisis in terms of title, so I just default to web stuff, because innovation sounds pretentious and programmer sounds like I know what I'm doing 😉

Over the past 15 years, I have worked in bike shops, startups, government, agencies, and now corporate.

I have always struggled with focus and procrastination ( so many things to do! ), and I would say impostor syndrome. But I have identified this and have worked really hard lately to do... Less. Yes doing less work in the evenings and spending more time with family, woodworking, riding bikes has helped tremendously.

Managing has meant that personal technical growth has slowed but I tend to lean into the unknown most of the time. I think what has helped me though is a willingness to jump in and learn.

I'm excited to learn that next thing, see how something works and just try new stuff!

Hi Elen! Is this your first job? It's totally normal to be nervous but it's great you'll be getting experience working in a company.

I would recommend this course on Codecademy for learning Java and you'll probably find other free tutorials for the language. Java was one of the first languages I learned in school (although I don't use it now).

Dev is a really great site, I spend at least a few min each day going through the feed.

Hey Dana, thank you so much! I didn't know this site, saved it here to take a look later. This is not my first job, actually I already worked a lot in my life in secular jobs, but this is the first one in my study area, with a real programming language, and I'm afraid of seem ... You know , dumb or idiot. Like "You already should know something"... But it's just my anxiety speaking, I know that. My future coworkers seem great, I got no reason for think these things, but sometimes it's inevitable.

For now I'm studying Objects Oriented in Java on Coursera, and "Curso em Video", a brazilian site with a fantastic professor.

And thanks again, you're an angel. I take almost a year to write a small text in English 😂😂

So many! I started out designing in pure TTL products like papertape reader/punches and being so excited that we could simplify the design with a single chip - the UART.

The PC didn't arrive until 1981, when a 5MB 5-inch hard drive cost as much as the original IBM PC-XT (about £1200). My first portable was manufactured by Philips and ran CP/M (P2000C).

As a coder, I was modifying the 4096 bytes of assembler that ran 'green screen' text terminals. Every byte was precious. I am staggered by current software bloat, for example, 1.16Gb just by the simple act of 'npm install --save-dev nodemon'.

To actually answer your question, though - the biggest shift has to be the reliance on Google to problem-solve - one could argue that it stifles innovation. People tend not to think an issue through; instead, just search for someone who has done something similar.

1.16Gb just by the simple act of 'npm install --save-dev nodemon'

😮 ... I mean - I knew node modules could be big but; ha; that seems excessive :)

Interesting point about Google: immediate answers like that didn't exist even 20 years ago!

Neat perspective; thanks :)

I've found that Google can be used for good. :D

Nic, I think your point about "reliance" is spot on. I don't necessarily think it's bad to use "search" as an extension of our memory. However, it is critically important for us problem-solvers to evaluate that memory for various things. Obviously it's easy to search and find a solution - e.g. a library that provides the functionality we need. We just need to keep going and be concerned with it to some level of depth that makes sense.

I personally struggle with the depth problem a bit. I get super-focused on the problem I'm actually trying to solve and don't always due the diligence required to prevent becoming dependent on external sources of functionality that may not be good.

I've been working on "Trust but Verify" - to think a bit more critically about search results (whether at Google or Github). But man isn't StackOverflow a savior more often than not?

Hi! Here out of curiosity.
I'm a full-stack developer.
Django was my tool of choice for many projects. Now switching to Firebase.
Frontend life is mainly with React with hooks. I don't like Redux with it's global store (variable).
That's pretty much it.
Oh, recently started my personal blog: gabrielgamil.com
Only 1 post for now on Django & Firebase integration. If you'll have a chance to read it any feedback is much appreciated. I have a feeling there are things to improve there.
One of the reasons for starting a blog is to learn stuff. I feel that it actually helps when writing down all the different parts after the initial programming and successful program run.
Also trying to prepare myself for Google certification exams.
So basically, hi!

chrisachard profile image
Chris Achard

Welcome Judith!

If you're looking to become a freelancer, I have 2 tips I give to everyone looking to go down that route:

  1. Save up some money first: Freelancing is hard because clients can fall through, or not pay for awhile, and sometimes it takes a long time to finish a project, bill the client, and have them pay. So make sure you have some savings you can fall back on if things go sideways

  2. Start to "become a visible expert" in your space: that might mean a blog, or ebook, or doing presentations (that are recorded and put on youtube), but basically: have something you can point to, so that people know that you know what you're talking about.

Other than that: good luck! I hope things go well for you :)

Hey all, I’m Christopher. I’m the web developer over at the City of Oakland. I’ve been both a freelancer and an agency dev, depending on my mood for the past 16+ years.

I’ve worked for anime companies, city programs, and various non-profit organizations and find that I love most to work in teams where I can share my knowledge and learn from others.

I’ve got a strong focus in HTML & CSS, Information Architecture, Client Services, and lately Accessibility (currently aiming for WCAG 2.1 AA+ ratings for work). I’m also working on learning more JavaScript than simple functionality/interactivity on a web page. Vue has definitely piqued my interest of late.

I’m interested in a more equitable web and making things that are accessible to more people, and encouraging people to think beyond #a11y being an issue around disability but also financial status, location, and many other barriers that people on the web encounter!

I left my job in the last march on a journey to find what I really want to do. and I discovered I like writing code all day long which is something I used to like doing during my college days, so here I am.

I am currently learning flutter and dart, I believe in learning by doing so am currently working on a simple app that helps people stay connected with other people whether for professional purposes or to keep your social life intact.

so I appreciate any advice about skills, tools I need to learn on my journey in software development.

Hi @chris and thanks!
I think I'm a bit late these days on CSS, because I was mostly working as an employee for companies who need systems compatible with non modern browsers and that blocks us to learn edge stuff. Recently I began to go deeper into CSS for personal projects, and so late am I...
1) Display: Grid is amazing but quite complicated. And only now I master flex after these years... I had tips before flex coming, I was using display table and it was great help.
2) May be my biggest tip would be that I use CSS for everything as much as possible, and I'm proud of it: with JS, I mostly toggle CSS classes (especially on the body or the #app div) and then handle the whole behavior in the CSS.
Examples:
a) when a side menu is opened, I add on the menu "menu-opened"
b) when I toggle a language, I add the menu "en" or whatever language. I also add "rtl".
With the depth of CSS nowadays, it handles most of the UI cases easily (for the ones who like me love CSS, I know that some hate it).
3) I know there are tips outside for click event in CSS, but I'm not sure it's that stable, I really hope they are going to add this click event native in CSS
4) I have read yesterday that they are implementing nesting in native CSS! Yay. We have to admit, 90% of the people out there use Sass mostly for variables and nesting. I hope it will come out asap.
5) I recently created a project with: Vue, Firebase, PWA, Material web components, headless CMS (Flamelink) and it takes a lot of time to learn and put everything together all alone, but at the end, it's worth it. Just saying for people with my profile to don't be scared, take your time and go for it.
6) I realized only now, after 10 years programming, that a programmer is simply a guy who knows some code, and is asked to do tasks he has no idea how to fix, searches, tries, gets errors, and finally finds the solution. So if anyone is reading that and is in my situation, scared to don't succeed, just chill, only a handful of geniuses are not that way. 90% of programmers just jump. Big clients of the Imposter Syndrome. Don't let yourself into it!
7) Another tip: the best way to learn is to have your own projects that you love. When you love, you really search solutions for its problems, and you remember them, you also keep their code that you can copy/paste in the future.
From CSS tips I went to tips to youngsters, but why not?

Awesome list! I definitely agree that doing things in CSS is a great way to go. I tend to jump right into JS, but yes - there is so much you can do in CSS that I should probably learn :)

Also on point #6: definitely! So much of software development is just learning how and when to google for things... I just do that constantly! 🤣

Also - if you're looking for something to post on DEV as an article - I encourage you to think about posting some of these points! They're great, and most devs probably need to hear them at some point :)

There's a button in the top right of your screen called "Write a Post" - click that and you'll get an editor.

Here are some tips:

  1. Give it a good, descriptive title
  2. If you can find a good image that represents your post, you can put it as the post image
  3. Add some tags! find the tags that represent what you're trying to say (sounds like at least #beginners would fit)
  4. write your post :)
  5. The editor takes Markdown, so you can format your text. Google for "markdown cheatsheet" if you need help with that.

Then click publish!

The first post is the hardest :) but after you get the feel for it, it becomes easier.

and if you do post it, you can share it here and I'll definitely check it out! Good luck :)

Hi guys.

I am an Android developer, I love to participate in large and robust projects, breastfeeding good code and complying with the principles of Uncle Bob, “SOLID”.

I am currently in a big problem, which is why I arrived or turned out here, I am migrating a monolithic android project to Multi-Module, I don't know how to start and not die trying since I must guarantee that each module has its unit tests.

Any advice or suggestion of blogs would be helpful friends.

Another problem I have encountered is navigation or communication between Modules, among this, there are some alternatives with Injection Dependences, Dagger and Koin.

Dagger is the most common and the one suggested by Google but it is the most complicated.
Koin I see that it is super easy, I have not worked.

I don't know which one to choose for my Migration Friends, so it would be great to help or advice which way to choose.

Thank you very much to all.

The react docs themselves are very good: reactjs.org/docs/getting-started.html

There's also a great free video course on egghead that walks you through the basics of react: egghead.io/courses/the-beginner-s-...

Beyond that, I definitely just recommend trying things out and playing around. codesandbox.io is a great resource, because you can create a new "React" sandbox in one click - and you're off and going! Then you can mess around and change the source, and instantly see what happens in the browser preview.

Also, I have something new coming out soon too! But it's not quite all ready and up yet - but be watching out for it soon! 😉

Hi everyone! My name is Steph and I am currently navigating the waters of front-end development. I received my bachelors in marketing and moved to NYC to work in communications for a startup. The work was dull and I felt like I was wasting my time doing something I hated. After talking to a developer on my team (who is now my mentor!) he gave me some tips and online resources that would allow me to teach myself to code. Fast forward a couple months and I was up till 3-4 AM because I couldn't get enough of it!

Recently, I've been dealing with a lot of anxiety and impostor syndrome. Maybe that comes with the self-taught route? Sometimes I feel like I don't know what I'm doing...but then I remind myself that I'm taking the steps every day to get closer to the job I want. As long as I keep building and learning - I believe it will all work out.

Because I'm so new to this I'm excited to join the community and learn from all of you :) If anyone has any podcast recommendations - let me know! I'm always looking for new ways to immerse myself in programming!

Hi,
I've joined only recently so not much input really. Just started to learn coding so I'm talking basic HTML5 and CSS etc... I love it because it is like a language you use to talk to a computer and I love languages.
I like the advise from G Orosz about: "I'll ask some basic questions when I'm stuck, but I promise to do my research before and not ask the same two questions ever."
I'm going to apply that more, I think people can accept/respect a basic question if you have at least tried to look it up and are not asking them something you asked last week. I've learned to write things down as I can be forgetful at times then I can refer back to it if I forget :-)

I'm going to share some articles, on my blog, write some interesting articles (some "how to") regarding main topics I usually writing: product management, conversion rate optimization and machine learning.

I've recently roll out an MVP (really really basic, through Google Data Studio) where I would like to solve one simple problem: the best and simplest way to read commerce business data. Why? Because it's really hard to answer some questions related to a business and not always we know the best marketing stuff to do next. That's the link

I'm very happy if someone can help me for testing the dashboard with its own data and/or sharing their feedback (any, it'll really appreciated).

Finally, I'm happy to contribute to this community.

Hey hey

Im in a journey to learn web development, and so far I really like html and css, play with the user interface is really cool, and of course python, the possibilities are enormous, I’m so much to improve on python but I’m enjoying every single bite😁.
Also in my journey I’m looking for a dev ( or junior) position to put my skills to use( extension school EPFL), so, if anyone knows something interesting just give me a word.

Heyo. Just turned on to dev.to recently. Trying to improve my info influx - to overcome the data overload. Hopefully I can bring some of my years of experience to the table, and share it with you all.

I am a Chief Engineer at Georgia Tech Research Institute in Atlanta, where I'm leading the development of a few interesting projects. My main interest is the software engineering environment, culture, and tools that enable continuous delivery of quality and secure products. I've recently helped start up a path (we call it DevUP) to modernize our organization, via helping individuals grow.

I have a personal interest in functional programming (escape from OO) and am slowly digging into Elixir.

Hi everybody.

I am David, currently working as a Web Developer (I work with Vue and Django/DRF) while learning new stuff every day (as many of people reading this I guess!).

After finding dev.to most of my technical searches on Google, I decided to join here.

I have been a passive member of the programming community and I took so much from it in the form of video tutorials, forums, blog posts, etc. As I grew as a programmer by many people giving their knowledge for free, now I want to give back something to the community.

That's why I started my own blog [Let's learn about[letslearnabout.net/], started my Youtube channel, answering questions on Reddit and Quora, and now I'm here. The reason is the same: I received help when I needed, now that I can I want to help others. Besides that, you learn twice when you teach others.

So from now on, we'll be reading each other here :)

Hello everyone, my name Brandon and I am looking to possibly make a career change from the Networking world into the development world. I have tried several times to learn code but for one reason or another I never gave it "the ole college try". Now I have decided join the 100 days of code challenge and I am just completed the basic CSS module of free code camp.

So far through this experience, the idea that is being projected is if I learn HTML, CSS, JS that I will be ready to make a living from this field but as move forward, I start running into other frameworks and tools that will also be required. Not to mention all of the auxiliary skills that has to be obtained like understanding SDLC, GIT, industry best practices when working within specific languages and their real world applicability, and working within a team (To be fair, I am new so I know I haven't seen every resource out there).

At this point I feel like I am understanding the basics of HTML and CSS but I also keep running into things that sound interesting and when I start looking into them, I immediately become overwhelmed and self-doubt starts to creep in. And forget about back-end development!! At that point I remind myself that I am a beginner and then I run back into my basics hole.

So far it seems like this industry is full of people that can relate to the struggle so that is super helpful. I look forward to learning from you all and possibly picking your brains!

Hi Community,

my name is yassine, iam a freelance DevOps and management consultant across Europe(DE,AT,CH,NL,FR) and NA(MA),iam keen to a rich exchange with other community members and synergies to grow professional skills.

I started with C, and went back to coding 6502 later I was fascinated with yahoo chat applet so hard that I learned Java and then Java left the front end development in favor of back ends which I was attracted to so started coding J2EE servlets using tomcat, jetty and finally I felt confident enough so I started coding EJBs in Jboss. Ok admitted EJBs are pain in ***.

I discovered python while working with embedded systems and then Sun got squired by #redgiantmoneymakingmachine so I started working with Django, flask.

Currently I like the ideas and concepts behind microservices and I like the challenges associated with the transition and I do love assisting achieving that.

Hey all! My name is Vern and I am the CEO of a tech startup in Berkeley, CA. I've been a coder since I was flipping switches on a PDP8 in the sub-basement of the Tech building at Northwestern University. As an engineer, I would consider myself a database expert.

About three years ago I needed to move back to engineering, and it's been quite a journey for me. I've seen the arc of the industry since the 1980's, and it is better than ever for developers. We have an infinite landscape of new technologies that really matter to businesses and they need developers to make them work! Remote work is a dream come true for many people. Underrepresented populations are making themselves heard, which is making a richer and more diverse world of developers.

Lately, I've been on quite the Go kick, and at taxnexus.net we have been converting our entire codebase to a set of Go microservices.

I joined this forum to see if I can offer any of my sage advice to problem, post a tidbit of arcane knowledge, or maybe find a developer who wants to work for Taxnexus!

Ever since I have started using printable calendars there's a drastic change in my lifestyle and now I am more organized than ever before. You might have noticed that over-penetration of technologies in our life have started ruined us in so many ways, though I do not totally oppose the technology sometimes being rooted with some small basic things keep us more grounded.

Kentscode

I work with a 73 year old developer, who is a piss poor coder.
His code lacks functional structure, business rules, uses in line SQL,
gets mad at me for using Stored Procedure, sloppy code alignment,
oversize functions where you look at the code and have no idea what's going,
and most of all, is just an all around stubborn, arrogant, close minded {censored} human. The day he admits he did something wrong is the day the Statue of Liberty sits down. He is at the company because of nepotism. Any other company would get rid of him. I capitulate to his behavior because I have no choice.

Don't be like him. Be an open minded individual. Know that what you do may bother others or may be detrimental to the processes at the company. Don't be a Know-It-All.  

Now, go code. Picasso: What we learn to do, we learn by doing.

Hey everyone! I am Sergii. And I'm happy to join! Decided that time had come to become part of such a great community.

I am a 'switcher' (like some of you), have a master degree in international economics and foreign trade and some auditor/economist background. But, decided to switch into front-end more than 5 years ago by self-teaching and have not a single regret about that. :D

Freelancing for almost 4 years. Enjoying to help great people to build the product they needed (starting from static websites, platform websites to SPAs on Vue and React). Code author of trumpdonald.org (if you heard about it).

For a long period of time, I was mostly a reader/listener. But, now I think I've grown enough 'dev muscles' and 'experience fat' to share thoughts with you and other people. :D

My name is Ash and I'm a full-stack web developer (leaning more towards frontend these days) based in Boston, MA. I'm a bootcamp grad (yay General Assembly!) who transitioned to web development 3 years ago after 10 years in the environmental nonprofit world.

In the tech world I'm particularly passionate about making the tech industry more welcoming and accessible to LGBTQ folks (I'm queer/trans/non-binary), people of color, working class people, people with disabilities, and other marginalized groups. I have also recently been learning about and building skills in web accessibility so the wonder of the world wide web can really be available for everyone. I'm really excited to use my skills as a developer to support people doing work with a social mission.

Outside of tech I love community organizing for social justice, growing veggies, fruits, and flowers, and supporting people in worker-cooperatives.

I'm looking forward to conversations on here about web accessibility, React, GraphQL, Redux, Javascript, freelancing, and so much more. Would love to connect with other folks who share my passions!

Usually that's git, docker, terraform, cloud, K8s.
I'm fascinated about language, OS and hardware internals and aspects of distributed systems.
Security, performance, automation, testing, ops, chaos engineering...

Since I boast only 2 years of experience, I'm a little shy to start writing articles myself.
I've started to get active on reddit, help people and discuss.

But I'm here to get out there more into the community, connect, get inspired and eventually publish some first posts myself. Maybe find some OSS projects to contribute to.

Looking forward

Hi everyone! I'm Paolo, fullstack web developer from Modena, Italy. I regularly read dev.to and finally I decided to join the community.

I'm working for 2 years, but I think I started growing as a programmer only in these last months. My goals, for now, are about learning git and react.

Actually at my office I work with:

  • Front-end js: Vanilla JS / Jquery (with some helping libraries)
  • Front-end css: MaterializeCSS
  • Backend: Classic ASP (with some helping libraries)

Unluckly, it's hard to introduce new technologies at work beacause there's not enough money and time, so the best I can do for myself is to study at home in my freetime.

If you have any questions about me feel free to ask!

In August 2018 I launched an open source project called SketchIt, and would love for the project to gain some momentum and grow into a (fun) tool that would benefit a community interested in programming. The idea behind SketchIt was heavily inspired by the Processing open source project (and watching many of Daniel Shiffman's videos), but aimed at .NET (C#) developers.

I hope to get some developers interested in the project through the DEV community. Apart from wanting it to be a beneficial tool in learning to code or creating creative projects with, I would love for people to become involved in the development of SketchIt.

So, that's my introduction. Hope to post something useful soon.

Hi everyone! Just found this community and felt like in home. Been around just looking at some amazing post but now I want to contribute to make this bigger and more amazing.

Maybe I won't share any helpful or curious post if for some reason you think that I can help, I'll be always willing to.

About my experience, I've been a full stack developer for about 2 years. Love to with Angular, React, Node, Mongo, MySQL, etc and been doing some mobile (not much).

I helped some sites to become more ADA compliant because at the end the web was meant to be accessible for everyone :)

So, TL;DR I'm here to help, make of us some something better (I wish) and jeep having fun

Zohar Peled

Hello community.
I'm Zohar and I've been working as a developer for the past two decades.
I've started working as a mobile web developer back when the mobile web was based on WAP and WML - later started working as a web developer (this time for "normal" browsers), and then moved on to .Net, writing services and Winforms applications, got stuck there for too much time, but for the past two years or so been working with WFP, and lately .Net Core.
Most of the work I do is data driven, so I have a vast experience with databases. Mainly SQL Server, but I have also did a few projects with Oracle, MySql and even MS-Access back in the day. In the last year or so I've also been working with MongoDb.

I'm an active member on Stackoverflow for almost 6 years now, and I'm here thanks to the little black button on Stackoverflow share popup that reads "dev".

Hopefully, I'll be able to contribute some of my knowledge here and learn from you guys.

Oh, and I've just started a blog called What the # do I know? - Hopefully, I'll add some more content to it on a regular basis.

Hello,

I'm a full stack JavaScript student on Treehouse (doing the Techdegree). I work full time as a nursing assistant and have a bachelor's in health science. I was previously on track to be a healthcare practitioner, but am making the switch into tech. I haven't been writing about my programming journey or talking to/networking with other devs so I thought this could be a great place to do both. I love problem solving, helping people, and getting creative with design.
