Hi, community.
I'm Cuong, currently, a developer at FPT software company, located in Viet Nam.
I suddenly read a blog post shared by my friend. And yeah, when I clicked the link, it brought me here.
Nice to meet you guys.
I hope we'll learn more about the tech industry by sharing our experience.

Hey! I'm learning Haskell and working as a technical recruiter for DreamITJobs.
I hope to be able to make my own little helper tools with Haskell in the next couple of years.
I also find people cool remote jobs :)

Nice! You might want to follow this tag - #haskell (or maybe write a post under it 🙂).

Similarly, consider checking out DEV Listings and scanning the Available for Hire section to see if there's any folks you might can reach out to about finding jobs. Or, maybe you even want to write your own listing!

Anyway, just to say, I hope you have a good time on DEV!

Awesome! I was disappointed that it wasn't in the welcome, choose your tags list and thought it wasn't available, thanks!!

Oh shoot! I think I understand what you mean... the suggestion to follow tags wasn't mentioned during onboarding? Might need to change that if so!

It was mentioned, I just thought the list displayed was all the available for some reason XD might have been distracted during onboarding

Hi, I am a Software Development Manger living in the UK. 9 years ago I moved into management which has taken me away from what I love to do (Coding). I am now in a position to get back to being hands on and I'm very keen to learn as much as I can. My main skillset is C#, Architecture, Microservices and most recently JavaScript and React.

Hello John, we love that you follow your passions, we are passionate about programming and we love it, especially in security.

Personally my name is like you, John, and I will upload c# security articles on this account (the company I work for) so I hope they can help you continue your passions, and on top of that, well protected! Haha Kind regards.

I'm finding that if you want to do both, smaller companies are the sweet spot! Welcome to the community, John! You said you're living in the UK. Is that where you grew up?

Hi Jesse,

Thanks for the welcome, much appreciated.
I've worked for small, medium and large organisations and to be honest it's more about the culture that they adopt. You're 100% right that you get to do a bit of everything in smaller companies which is my aim.
I'm currently learning React with Maximilian (Udemy course) and while the course is over 40 hours it takes at least 3 to 4 times longer by the time you stop and start the video, write the code, go back over stuff, but it has to be done. I'm new to dev.to but I'm guessing its about the community sharing their articles, thoughts, challenges and expertise? I'll contribute when I feel comfortable (would love to write some articles) but in the meantime I'll use this time away from work to learn as much as I possibly can.
Oh and yes, I have always lived in the UK.

Cheers
John

Welcome Jey! No worries if you don't see yourself that great right now, we all start from somewhere. The fact that you're already dabbling in multiple languages in high school is impressive. You will go very far and I got some tutorials to accelerate your Dart journey. Check them out on my page :)

Hi people,
Just signed up to this website to see what's up :-)
I'm responsible for dotnet things (LibVLCSharp) at VideoLAN, the makers of VLC. I'm working remotely and most of the code I write is opensource.
Looking forward to learn and share with the community.

Hi,
I'm a French engineering student (mostly mechanics and electric, but also a little touch of CS).
I'm here because I have a web app project and I found interesting articles here on many occasions.
The creation of this account made me discover what seems to be a very active and welcoming community.
I hope I will be able to give back to the community as much as you all.

Welcome to the community! I didn't think you were going to say web app. I thought maybe embedded software.

Well, in the French education system, we have two years of broad education before the selection for the actual engineering school. So although I am mostly studying mecanical and electrical engineering at the moment, I will still be able to apply for schools that have CS majors.

The reason behind the web app is that I stumbled upon a management issue within a nonprofit. The solution need to connect to the internet and have an accessible GUI and be cross platform, thus the web app.

Edit : Oh, and thank you for your greetings.

Hello DEV community!
I'm 23 years-old. I graduated with a degree in Business Administration (General) and was pursuing a career in Finance. I've recently grew interest in programming and I've decided to switch my career. One problem is that I can't stop thinking I'm TOO OLD or that I won't be able to comprehend the knowledge a CS graduate has or someone who started coding when they were like 17 or something.
I'm a perfectionist and being just good at what I do won't be enough for me. I need to be excellent which is why I'm here; I'm hesitant to start learning and end up exerting my time and efforts on something that I may never be good enough at or maybe mediocre (my greatest nightmare). I need advice and friends or maybe learning buddies. Is it really too late?
