Hi everyone, thanks for letting me join here. I saw this is a good web discussion. I think is the best after I read it for a while.

I'm a beginner front end developer, I just started my career as a dev since mid 2019. I throw away my 8 years experience as an electrical engineer even though I have already become a manager in JABIL CIRCUIT, and start fresh as a dev.

I always loved computer since I was a kid, so I think it's worth it to throw away my previous career and become what I always loved. I hoped I could become a great developer and contributing to other devs like all of you.

[Tristan Gibbs]

Hello. I like your post, and it spoke to me in particular because my original major was Electrical Engineering! I was made to take a class in c++ programming, and it hooked me so much I changed my major to Computer Science. Good post. I look forward to meeting more like minded people on here.

[kaydubyew]

Math major, required to take CSC classes, got hooked.

[Renan "Firehawk" Lazarotto]

Hello there!

I'm Renan, a 28-year old programmer from Brazil. I'm father of two wonderful girls, I'm graduated as a IT Manager (but thankfully I have no intentions on managing anything beyond my code) and I know a bit of this and a bit of that about PHP, SQL and JS.

I'm getting familiar on how stuff works here and someday I might feel confident enough to write something for all of you amazing guys, but for now I'll stick to asking and learning.

Hope to get more in touch with you guys, I feel that I can learn and give a lot here!

[Ibad Ullah Shaikh]

Hello

[Renan "Firehawk" Lazarotto]

Hello there! How are you today? =)

[Abu Taoheed]

Great. This is a good way to get the hang of things...

[Nick Taylor]

Welcome to DEV! 👋

[Claudio Cortese]

Hi there!

[@nobody]

(greetings :all)

My name's Jeffrey Desir (written: jffrydsr) and I am, among the hyper-creative, conscientious and scatter-brained members here, not entirely sure what I .do.
eHrM Started real-life with a sprint in Behavioral Psych & Comp Sci (A.I. dreams), and limped the rest of the way to Applied Maths - & now a full-stack web-dev student at Lambda School **(Great but too late 😐).
eHrM I'm proficient in Java, Python, Ruby, BrainF*ck (no, jk. 😐) & HTML/(S)CSS/JS, though I love to code _specifically & primarily in **Clojure.
EhRm I'm trying to formalize and share my writings in applied mathematics, TSO programming, philosophy/theology, and other pontifications in life.

Overall, I'm learning to connect "my selves" into a functioning unit and with other Selfs to practice collaborating and sharing ideas for my burgeoning freelance career in, you guessed, all of the things.

Fun Fact: I know I can't be alone in this superposition of career focuses with open-source more accessible and profitable than ever before, nor will it be the end of me. Yet, I still hesitate to press submit scared to step into the unknown, but after 4 revisions and this cafe closing; I'm here to grow new connections and wisdom for my life tasks that seems to involve just a little bit of everything.

[Fulton Browne]

I noticed you like java, have you tried Kotlin yet?

[@nobody]

I've checked out the documentation and it seems like cleaner Java with some simplified and modern conventions - it seems to be widely supported and hostable which is nice but it almost reminds me too much of Java to not just use what I know, for the moment. :P What do you think of it? The standalone compiler thing is hard to wrap my head around.

[Fulton Browne]

I personally like using much more than java, I can write the same code in half the time and everything gets automatically integrated with the build process, so you don't have to think about it.

[@nobody]

Yeah I think now it's worth getting into maybe in some coding challenges cause you're right, much less boilerplate and smarter class types. after learning Clojure I'm finding less and less utility in "regular" languages these days but it's also about the build flow so meh, everyone should already strive to be a polyglot IMO

[Ore Akinwole]

Hello Jeffery

[ser0pjx]

Hi! I'm a computer science geek, working in Dev for 20 years. I once tried to become a UX designer and I hit a wall. I now learned to embrace the fact that I'm really a hybrid, so I hope to morph into a UX Engineer for the rest of my career. Hope to find like-minded individuals in this space!

[Kelly]

Hi! I’m also thinking that a hybrid role would best suit me. What steps do you plan to take to morph your career from UX Designer to UX Engineer?

[ser0pjx]

Hi Kelly! I made this website my home page so I can read a little bit every day. I feel in my case I need to flex my visual muscle and I found here a great blog too that gave me a ton of extra info! happy to share anything I come across with you!

uxengineer.com/

by @emmawedekind who I'll be following too!

Thank you, ser0pjx! Totally taken aback by - and enjoyed - the “Become a Unicorn” headline on the uxengineer.com website 🦄

[ser0pjx]

Happy to hear you liked it Kelly! there is a place fo us !

[BogdanI12]

Hello people,

I am Bogdan, 24 and I am programmer. I have worked 1.5 years in automotive industry and in the last year I am working as a web developer.

Excited to be here and to have all this info at my disposal.

Wish you all the best 🤗

[ChrisDrit]

Exciting to hear you're moving into WebDev, what languages?

[BogdanI12]

Well I am using Java, AngularJS, TypeScript and for Database PostgreSQL.

I have been doing fullstack tasks, but lately my main focus was on backend part. 😁

[TJ Wright]

Hi, everyone!

I've been lurking on Dev.to for a bit now, and I'm just getting around to finally saying hello. I started learning web development part-time with the Flatiron School in October, and I've been enjoying Ruby and OOP. I can't believe how much I've already learned! If you're an expert or a new learner who happens to be diving into the world of Ruby, let's connect. Learning is more fun with friends, and mentors are welcomed.

As a full-time job, I'm a senior graphic designer at a decently large custom apparel company in Dallas. Prior to that, I was a math teacher and a graduate researcher in philosophy and linguistics. I focussed in a field of philosophy called ontology, specifically in relation to issues in symbolic logic, philosophy of language, and philosophy of literature. If you want to know what that means, shoot me a message or comment below! I love to talk about it! While I enjoyed philosophy and language a TON, I really really enjoy coding. =]

Fun fact: I'm also a CrossFit and USA Weightlifting coach! If you've never tried it, I highly suggest it... CrossFit is intentionally data-driven and definitely resonates well with programmers, engineerings, and doctors... anyone who thinks analytically will enjoy it! I swear! If you've ever tried CrossFit or are really into some other form of fitness (e.g. yoga, F45, pilates, OrangeTheory), comment below. I love to hear about fitness journeys!

[ChrisDrit]

Good to see a fellow lurker who's recently converted :)

[Raman CreativeIT]

Hey there!

I'm Raman, a full-stack JavaScript developer with over 9 years of experience and CEO at CreativeIT, a software house in Belarus. Here I’m responsible for technical consulting, negotiating with existing and potential clients, and managing our team. I'm also an active contributor to open-source github.com/CreativeIT. On dev.to, I’m going to create my own blog, share experience, and discuss ideas.

Hope, I'll become a great part of this community!

[Diana Maltseva]

Hey there! It's nice to meet you! A great profile, it's cool that your products have received so many stars on GitHub!)

[Raman CreativeIT]

Thank you!

[Plato Puthur]

Hi, I am Plato and I love learning stuff.

I think I am a good example of the saying "jack of all trades, master of none". I work in a bootstrapping startup. The languages I work with are, swift, python, ruby, golang, javascript and PHP mostly. I also dabble on Lua and java not so frequently. I also love woodworking & electronics and have done a few projects involving these.

I came across this website in my google feed. Don't know how, but I recently started getting many stories from this website on my google feed. So thought of checking it out. And to be frank I am loving what I see :D

[ChrisDrit]

Excellent! How do you like Lua?

[Abu Taoheed]

Welcome.

[Claude Funston]

Howdy Katie and all! 👋 ...and Happy Holidays! .and so forth.

I am an oldster who is a slow learner, but I keep showing up.
In particular, I am interested in learning about Open Source Spatial Development, including cli, web, and console stuff. I lean toward the Python flavor of that genre, but would be interested in all things Spatial Development to be sure.

If I had to choose a fave library it would easily be GDAL > ogr.

Also, if anyone has an opinion on an open, friendly, active social chat area focusing in and of that world, please let me know.

One more thing: I am in the process of attempting to get a static site up and running and intend to use Hugo.

Meanwhile, here is a pic...because I can 😄

[Katie Nelson]

Since then, I love coding and planning to persue my future career as a web developer. am simply here as an student to learn more and more!!. Thanks for having this Community here.

[Kelly]

Hi folks!

After years of working on the business side of tech, I'm finally taking the leap and re-learning how to code starting with Python.

DEV is the community I wish existed when I started learning to code about 8 years ago, and I'm so happy that it exists now.

Looking forward to learning alongside all of you!

[Abu Taoheed]

Hi Kelly. Welcome aboard. Also retracing my steps back to programming. I have done all sorts of Java and servlet programming in the past but now my focus in on learning python especially as it relates to the web. I look forward to an educative adventure here.

[Katie Nelson]

Hi Kelly, great to hear you’re getting back into coding. Have fun with it!
