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!

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.

(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.

not_jffrydsr profile image
@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.

Thread Thread
 
fultonbrowne profile image
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.

not_jffrydsr profile image
@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
