Hi! Long-time DEV reader, finally took the plunge and started contributing articles. By day, I write about maker projects over at Electromaker.io, and on the side I cover consumer tech (streaming devices, smart home tech, Linux tutorials, etc.) on Tech Up Your Life and movie/TV/album reviews on Cup of Moe.

I'm learning some basic JavaScript for fun/personal edification, and enjoy watching cult films while cuddling with my dog when I'm not banging away at my keyboard.

Great to have you!

Cool welcome!

[Layla]

Those maker projects look pretty awesome! Thanks for sharing!

[Tracy Marshall]

dope, welcome!

Hey All! I found out about DEV from a YouTube comment and hope to find my place within this developer community.

Last year I left my job as a Software Engineer to pursue coding my own projects. My all-time favorite language is Java - and you can't convince me otherwise. Similar to what I did in college, my primary interests have reverted to machine learning & artificial intelligence.

I use Arch, btw.

[Fulton Browne]

Glad to see you here!

How do you see ML/AI compare to SWE in terms of "worthy" ness? :D
I'm currently on Andrew Ng's Coursera course, and you shouldn't miss it, pal. Have a good day!

[Forrest Knight]

I see both as being very worthy in their respective areas. Automating tasks is important, just as is knowing statistical patterns of data. I'm just so in love with research & math that my natural progression in this field must lead to ML/AI. But I could talk about this all day lol.

Are you referring to Andrew's Machine Learning course? I hate to be "that guy" that says he already knows (my brother does it to me all the time), but I'm familiar with it! I added it into this "open source" CS degree I put together a while back. I'll have to take a deeper look now that I have the time!

[Tracy Marshall]

What's up Forrest! Your channel's dope.

I've been shown the ways of the Java recently and it's just something about statically typing... Are you gonna use Java for machine learning and AI?

[Forrest Knight]

Hey Tracy! Much appreciated. Yea, I'm using Java as my primary ML/AI language.

[Nico Bos]

Hey All, an engineer with a great interest in coding. After years of just reading about coding with great interest, and some little python(ironpython in dynamo), html & css experience i know set myself a goal to learn to code just for fun/hobby(for know) within 4 years from know.

Somehow i've a great interest in the new rust language and read the The Rust Programming Language book already. My plan is to set my focus on the rust language to learn.

After months of reading tons of post, I've finally took some time to sign up haha, I hope we like each other... I love Javascript and everything that can help me boost my productivity, even a little!

[janeLehmann]

Speaking about loving everything that can help to boost productivity - it's really a great way to go!

Hi Everyone !

[avidme]

Hello!! I wanted to learn javascript but being a C# Dev, javascript seems little uneasy for me haha. Wish I could being it someday.

[datrine]

Hi avidme. As a developer who came from the .NET world, I can tell you that you fears thankfully not real. Javascript is probably the easiest language to learn, apart from python. Mastering it is more nuanced, but you'll generally do fine

[Ben Smith]

You should definitely take the plunge and yes you would have to learn es6... but you could start by learning typescript as the syntax to C# is almost identical. It’s not the usual way of learning JS but it could work and Typescript is awesome.

Heyy :)

[Tom Brown]

Great job!

Suggestion: Add option to get notified when someone replies to a certain email.

There are so many extensions that track clicks, opens, etc.. but I couldnt find a single one where you can mark an email as "Notify me when replied". This would be helpful, if the email reply depends on a time sensitive matter and you need to take action as soon as the reply comes in. The alternative now is, going back to gmail every few min to see if that particular email was responded to.

Thanks!

Hey everyone!
It' really something strange that I ended up writing this greeting comment at the midnight... in the beginning I just wanted to leave a question under one of the articles on dev.to that I was interested in.

So, I'm a react front-end developer, more or less successfully self-employed and I'm on my way to make my code better.
