For any newbies here, feel free to reach out to me. I’m looking to mentor junior developers in TypeScript. I have a few slots remaining.

👋 Hi DEV! I'm Mariz and I'm a Junior Software Engineer (mostly dealing with C++ and C#). I initially studied Computer Science with a dream to work on space rockets 🚀 But I have long since adjusted my goals to:
👩‍💻 become a full stack developer,
👐 be a more active contributor to the open source community, and
⚡ pioneer... something.

Random fact about me: My MBTI is INTP!

I hope you all have a great day and maybe you could share random facts about yourself to start it off~

Random fact about myself is that I have this weird mark on my left hand that looks like a bruise. Most of the people I've shown it to have said that it's a birthmark, but neither my parents nor my grandmother remembers seeing it when I was younger. And if anyone is curious, no, it does not and had never hurt.

Thanks for sharing that Rania~ I wonder what that is, my guess would be a late birthmark 🤔 but it's definitely a cool thing to add on your uniqueness _^

Hi Rania. Sounds like natural pigmentation. Some cells change color as we grow older. I am not a doctor but I have seen this a few times with a number of people, and they have told me that story. Hope that helps!

Hi!

I am new to the coding world. What is "MBTI & ISTP?" Also, what is the difference between CSS and C++? I am sooooo confused...

C++ is high level object oriented programming language that is used to build desktop and games and other applications for hardware and embedded systems. While CSS Stands for Cascading Style Sheet which is a language for designing the appearance and interface for websites.

MBTI is the Myers-Briggs personality type and ISTP is just one of the 16+ results. You can look into it more here: myersbriggs.org/my-mbti-personalit...

Sweet biscuits (like cookies?) or southern biscuits like this?

Both are valid choices, but I love the latter!

I much rather prefer cookies solely for the fact that those delicious looking treats are not yet available in my region, however we have something very unique that you may like to check.

CPBen

Each language has it's own flavor and mentality about it. Overall, they are pretty similar. I would consider dabbling into a couple just to find one that fits your way of thinking. C or Perl or PHP or Python, etc. each fit better to each person. Find one that rock and rolls for you, learn it and then all of the rest will easily fall into place. Learning a second or third language is really easy after the first one.
