👋🏼 Hi all, I'm Vicky. I'm very involved with the Irish tech community (got started when I took over running Python Ireland from 2005 till 2016). More of a hobby coder nowadays as I do a lot of community work voluntarily like PyLadies Dublin, Coding Grace, GameCraft, Women Who Code Dublin, WITS Ireland. I'm open to collab with other user groups as well. Most of my events are for adults, although I'm happy to collab with groups that work with <18yos.
My day job is working with the Dublin Maker team as their Maker Advocate. My most memorable and rewarding role was being asked to be curator and researcher for a Science Gallery Dublin exhibition called GAME back in 2012. I still can't believe they paid me to play, read, immerse myself in the world of games, attend games festivals/confs, meet amazing people (artists, designers, coders, performers, researchers, games industry folks, etc) and worked with some very smart folks there. I learnt a whole lot and also had the most fun!
Now as Maker Advocate, I deal with everything and to audiences of all ages (very different to my voluntary tech community role).
And how I found this platform, it was because EuroPython joined recently (I'm kinda helping them out as a volunteer). So when I saw them join, I was curious and joined also and found some familiar faces here! 🙌
So please to meet you all, and if there's any collaboration (given covid-19 has brought many people/orgs together through remote events), let me know. Any questions re. Irish tech community, organising events, diversity in tech, etc., let me know. I'm happy to help. 😊
"My most memorable and rewarding role was being asked to be curator and researcher for a Science Gallery Dublin exhibition called GAME back in 2012. I still can't believe they paid me to play, read, immerse myself in the world of games, attend games festivals/confs, meet amazing people..."
This sounds so dope!
Around this time period, I was living Edinburgh Scotland and remember going to a really similar exhibition... I wish I could remember the name! It's totally possible that they were related.
Anywho, welcome to DEV! I hope you dig it here. 😀
It was amazing! I did not in my life think that I would end up with that role (I didn't have curation or research as a skill, but I loved games, curious about how they are made). I met a lot of amazing indie games friends that way, and still friends with many to this day. Same period I started to co-run game jams as GameCraft. The community here has been great to me, so I wanted to give something back. I definitely ended up where I am via very unconventional routes after I left my role as a developer (went back to do a 1 year masters on Multimedia as I wanted to learn more about animation and interactive media, that was donkeys ago). And thanks for the kind welcome. 😊
Great to have you in the community Vicky
Thanks! :-)

Hi everyone! I'm Putri 👋 . Currently building a startup with my friends, it's called Cotter (YC W20), a passwordless authentication service.
I've been working on web development for some time, and now learning about building client libraries, which I find very different from web dev! Right now learning Flutter, and I think it's awesome 😄.
I'm also learning about writing blogs. It's a lot of fun but also quite challenging. I see that the DEV community is really engaged and welcoming, and has great posts, so I'd love to start here and learn. Any help or feedback would be really awesome ❤️👩💻. Thanks!
Welcome Putri! I think you’ll fit in great here.
Thanks!
Hello there, everybody! I'm so glad to have found this community, everyone is kind and friendly and this is the first thing I notice when I join a new community. I'm Francesco from Verona, Italy and I am student at university but I had some experience with php (framework Yii) and Js as well: from jQuery to React and Angular. I'd like to gain much more experience in these languages and learn something new like React, Vue.. knowledge is power! Anyway I'm currently developing some small projects with Flutter and I'll definitely check out some posts for help when needed. Like Joel I subscribed few weeks ago but never introduced myself so here you are! Thanks for reading and a nice dev-to-day!
Hello there, I'm Ibrahim and from Nigeria, Africa and I'm so glad to have found this community. Currently want to focus on Web development, Front-end to be precise. I am very happy to join and ready to learn.

Hello and welcome from tutorialsmate 🌏
Hi all! I'm Sam--web developer, novelist and former book publicist, just making a career shift into programming after graduating Flatiron School's online software engineering bootcamp :) My most recent project is a novel progress tracking app made with React and Rails, and I'm in the middle of brushing up on my CSS so I can get more hands-on with the frontend of my next app!
Really enjoying Dev so far, and looking forward to getting involved in the community!
I'll recommend the following accounts:
Alvaro Montoro
Chen Hui Jing
And the following blogs:
Welcome to the community.
Excellent, thanks Habdul! I will look into these :)
Hi Sam, it is a really cool career change! 👍
Hi Billy! And thanks, I'm enjoying it so far :)
Hi everyone!
I found DEV on Twitter when I was looking for development news and communities to follow a little while ago. I didn't sign up until today, but I'm so glad I did! I've already found some excellent posts to share with my software QA team, and found some niche places where I know can contribute to QA automation engineering posts. My team uses Cucumber/Gherkin syntax with Java for both UI and API automation testing. I'm a huge Cucumber fan and love to talk about automation with anyone!
In terms of volunteering, I participate in a few mentorship programs remotely, but I am always looking for new opportunities to participate in something cool! I am also on the communications board for WEX Pride, my company's LGBTQIA+ employee group. As a bisexual woman, it's an honor and a privilege to engage with my LGBTQIA+ community at work. I am especially interested in communities supporting Womxn and LGBTQIA+ people in the tech industry, and software Quality Assurance.
Thanks for reading and please feel free to reach out at any time. I love to write but I have not written in a year or so since I got my awesome new job at WEX. I am excited to lean into the inspiration this community has given me, and contribute!
Welcome Corissa! Great to have you. I think you'll be a great part of the community.
Hello, I'm Said S. Juma from Dar es salaam, Tanzania. I am the web and mobile application developer. I do all my frontend development with react and mobile apps with react native, and all backends with laravel framework.
My level of coding is between expert and intermediate but i like to learn new techniques and technologies everyday, that's how i came to find out about dev.to
My personal website is simbadesign.business.site and simbadesign.co.tz where you can learn more about what I'm doing.
I do hand coding with all pure concepts i don't like copying from free templates so i always find my own solutions and create from scratch.
The knowledge I'm good at uncludes javascript and es6 reactjs, react native, linux, ssh, mac, illustrator, photoshop, css, html, php, java basic, user experience, user interface and customer care.
Hope to network with others developers here at dev.to. Cheers, SS.
Welcome Said!

Hey guys,
I'm Anna , I'm in the 12th grade and I'm really interested in coding and web development. I consider myself to be very passionate when it comes to learning new things. Although I do find it overwhelming at times, I hope that with practice and dedication I can achieve great things. Would love to hear from y'all. What inspired you to code and how has it changed your life?
Hello and welcome from tutorialsmate. 👋😊
Thank you!
Hi. My name is Omar. I went on here because I heard this was a great website and community from others in the community. Right now I am learning nodejs, flutter, security, and cloud as well.
Welcome Omar! What got you into Flutter?
Thanks! So some friends and I are making an app. I made the webapp version of it (just to learn) and he made a mobile app version of it. I thought it was a bit ambitious, but he said flutter creates it an android AND iOS version of the app. I thought this was awesome. So I wanted to learn this as well. I don't want to be just a web developer lol
Nice, how are you liking it so far?
It is so cool! I love it so much lolz
Awesome. I played around with it and really enjoyed it as well. It was really early days though, I'm sure it's come a long way as a technology.
Hello guys , I'm Sid
Hiya Sid! It's nice to meet you!
Hello everyone I'm currently teaching myself to code and I'm having the most fun I've ever had learning something new, can't wait to some of your guys work and be amazed by the knowledge you all have to share with the community.
Hi 👋 I’m Nic. After a Computing degree and almost 20 years working in the IT industry (mainly as a Business Analyst) I am taking a year out to do a Data Science MSc. I’m learning python mainly and I’m in my final term, working on my project which is the detection of hate speech against women and immigrants on Twitter, in English and Spanish. I am not looking forward to my course ending because I’m really loving reading, learning and coding all day. I’m hoping to find a job where I can use my skills for social good.
When I’m not working on my project, I like going for a bike ride and growing plants from seeds/cuttings.
Some things I’m proud of: I’ve completed an ironman triathlon, I’ve started an online business that generates money for charity, and I’ve taught English as a volunteer in a small mountain village school in North East India.
I love learning and I love sharing my knowledge and helping people so if you have questions or if there’s something you think I can help you with then please ask. Also, if you have feedback about my work/ideas then please share them with me - positive or negative - I want to learn.
Looking forward to seeing what you share and learning from you all 😊👩🏻💻

Hey everyone! I'm Tom, an Engineering Manager from London. I've worked in software teams since 2011 - my experience is mostly in back-end development and data projects, in the .NET and Python ecosystems respectively.
I love my job but I've got lots of dev interests outside what I do at work, particularly web development and functional programming, so I've joined dev.to to try to scratch some of those itches.
I've been reading the posts here for a while and I LOVE that it's such a positive place. I've learned so much from everyone here already, and I'm looking forward to contributing myself at some point 😀

Hey all. I am a JavaScript and React developer looking to connect with like minded individuals. My tech stack HTML5, CSS3 (SASS), JavaScript (ES5, ES6, EJS), jQuery, Bootstrap, SASS, APIs, Restful APIs, Git, Google Cloud Platform, WordPress, Node.js, Express.js, Typescript and Firebase. I put APIs in the tech stack as I have that recruiters don't understand our lingo at all or what we do to be honest.
I work mostly with React and Firebase. Firestore in web development but I am not limited to just that. I also work with WordPress.
I’m a Web Developer pushing at my career who started web development in 2016 and became a Front-End Web Developer. I have worked my way up in becoming a Software Developer, with certifications, and now I am driven in becoming a MCSD.
I have worked with Angular and React frameworks but prefer working with React.
As a Web Developer I have worked on front-end development mostly with frameworks in Node, Angular and React. I have used Bootstrap with almost all of my projects. I have WordPress, basic PHP and ES6 for working on WordPress websites.
I have C# and .Net from a couple of months from studying the language and framework. I have mostly worked with Visual Studio Code and Visual Studio on projects. I have a website that showcases my portfolio and my Github account for more of my projects. I started on Notepad++ and then moved to Visual Studio. I have built projects in Bootstrap, React, C#, ASP.NET.
You can find many of my own projects on Github
I have CCNA experience but I am not qualified even though I studied for it. I understand how to setup switches, routers, firewalls, VoIP and security.
At present I am studying for my MCSD certificate.
Hey all! I'm a Helpdesk Technician looking to be super creative and I see that is more than possible with the development path. Putting out fires is fun but I'm here to build something. If anyone has some simple project ideas for a beginner I'd love to hear them!
Thank you all!
Hi all, I'm Deia and I'm from Bulgaria.
I've been a QA engineer for a few years, but in a few days I'm starting a new job as a .NET developer and I'm very excited to be making the switch. I'm happy to have found this community and I'm looking for good things to follow, if you have any recommendations :)
I'm Pete, a 23-year old Java developer with a penchant for Kotlin. I started learning Python, my first language in July 2019. I didn't know there were a gazillion fields in programming; I just knew I wanted to code an app. I bounced off the corners from language to language, learning more about the world of software development and after a ton of unfinished games, front-end-only web apps and login screens here and there, I finally settled on native android development with Java and Kotlin. Signed up on here after(a lifetime after) learning that an online presence is a plus for a developer because what better place to have a presence than one of the richest developer blogs I've come across? It's great to be a part of you guys!!
Hi, I am Aniket. I am a Software Engineer by profession. I love to explore new thing by getting in hand experience.

Welcoem Aniket! Hope you follow all the tags and contribute with a post or two 😄
Hi everyone! I'm Jean Claude and I'm from Lima, Peru. Currently, I am a systems engineer and my role where I work like a Test Automation Engineer.

Hi I am Jack!
I am with C++ and the Qt toolkit -> that means tackling JavaScript/QML at the moment for nice GUI's <- and accepted the challenge about a year ago to become the most excellent programmer I could become :)
I am still looking for a sparing partner in learning and deepening advanced topics about Qt and C++ for making this sooner or later my occasion . In either being employed, creating and marketing my own apps/programs - the idea/project list is already very long - or joining a non profit open source project - preferably with the KDE-framework for Linux.
There are not that much topics I know nothing about, f.e. yesterday I bought some rusty lifting plates for my sports/bodybuilding/lifting and today I built an electrolyte+soda bath for refurbishing and de-rusting it over night (Or maybe I am death tomorrow by mistaking sodium with salt - who knows ;) )
Tomorrow (if I am still alive) that might be building a 100 bucks ultra silent 2k LED projector from scratch with the 2k display that arrived today from ali and the day after it might be starting to write and market a book about time/willpower management with a GUI-app for linux/android I started a few weeks ago (Just need to pick up that qml/javascript stuff to not being restricted to just c++ functionality)
I don't know what (and when and how many ;) ) the future will bring so it leaves me really enjoying my life and the people free cities as long as it lasts. Cheers!

Hello, am Samuel Ogbonna. I've always loved anything related to technology, sometimes watching movies and i see all this programmers typing so fast and writing different codes really gives me great joy and i have always aspired to be like them someday. I decided to take the path of web development and all i can say is that it gets more exciting day by day. I have learnt different languages on Front-end development such as JavaScript, bootstrap,css, react, jquery and i wish to expand my knowledge the more on back-end development. Am here to meet new people of the same interests with me, and to join in any collaboration project.
Hi All , I am Chandru. I am very much involved in learning coding aspects, learning new technologies.

Hi everybody 👋,
I am also available on :
Hello everyone!
I'm Milla and currently live in Finland!
Trying to self-learn programming/coding as a hobby (and to hopefully make it a career someday fingers crossed).
I'm so happy to have found this community of people with the same interests. Also, since I'm a newbie, a community like this makes me feel less overwhelmed and alone.
Very pleased to meet you all! ☺️
Hi @all 👋🏼 ,
I am Bernd from Berlin, I've been programming mainly backend for years now, but with a shift in interest and an according job offer, I am now trying to dig a bit more in depth into the world of react and consuming the APIs I've built for years :D
I am excited, to learn from people here and also to contribute back by sharing some of my learnings.
Have fun and work for staff that matters 😊
Hello World,
I am Lawal from Lagos, Nigeria and i'm really excited to be here.
I am passionate about cybersecurity, Linux, Open source softwares and python.
Really hopeful to meet cool programmers here for both project collaborations and learning.
Hi everyone! My name is Khoj. I have been a developer for about 15 years now at this point. Most of that I spent making my own startup called Insta7 (which despite my terrible code, when I was starting out) still grew to 7 million users. Then became the CTO of another company. Now, I run my own services company called LiveFire.in where we do all of the above for others.
Why did I join dev and seeking some advice?
Of late, I have taken up a new side project of making interactive demos about computer science topics and the best video explanations I can make about these topics. I can share an example, but not sure if that's against the (self-promotion) rules in this thread. I am doing this to feed my passion for teaching.
I wanted to share those with people who are trying to learn these topics and I thought this would be a good place to find them. I just wanted some general advice on how you guys think I should go about sharing my work? I mean, I know that I should write a post, but anything more specific so that I don't violate any rules and get in front of the right people?
Welcome. When you share work, take a look at the tags as some of them have special rules, but as long as you're being conscientious, it should all go well.
If you want to post a discussion question, use #discuss, if you want to "show something off" use #showdev, etc. And then use whatever relevant language tags exist. Like #javascript, etc. or #webdev.
Great! Thanks! Will keep this in mind. You say, " take a look at the tags as some of them have special rules". Is there a place to see these rules?
Hi everyone, I'm Lisa from Ireland, I'm and 38 year old mother of two who has been a stay at home mum for the last 11 years. I've always been a bit of a geek and dabbled in this and that as a hobby. This year I have decided to take my learning more seriously to find myself a job as a developer. This would be a complete career change from Payroll management. I am hoping with self learning i can be employable in the next year or two when i get the last child off to school. Spent the first few months of this year learning and building python projects which i really enjoyed, since then i have learnt the basics of a few other languages as well as sql, databases, github etc. Still a long way to go (especially getting anything with the kids around) but i am determined to get there. So glad i found this community yesterday, looks like it'll be a great help.
Hey there friends! Found this site the other day and quickly jumped on to make an account. I studied Computer Science while in my undergrad but never really found joy in programming as I always thought my peers were a mile ahead of my work which I always found intimidating. That is until I landed my first professional job at a small start up post graduation and another developer who had a few more years experience was hired to work alongside me.
Through him I learned that I do have the technical skill to do this it just takes time and that is a concept I'm still learning to understand and come to terms with.
We worked with a Python web scraper that was initially a monolithic mess that we broke down into pieces which we then turned into numerous micro services running in parallel via the cloud/aws.
Sadly, I had to leave that position due to ethical issues I had with the use of the web app and I have not done too much programming since.
I took quite the break and due to the pandemic I lost my job as a server/bartender which has put me in a weird spot. For months I have been grappling with thoughts like, "What do I do now?", "Can I ever get another software engineering job with such a large gap in my resume?", "What development path should I take going forward?", "Stick with what I know or learn something new?".
Most of the time I jump to learning something new but rarely do I take the time to do something independently with that newfound knowledge.
The best way to describe where I am right now would be "tutorial hell". I've seen that phrase floating around on my YT feed a lot lately so it seems to me that many developers are struggling with the same thing. I've also heard it referred to as impostor syndrome which is what my old coworker used to call it. Any tips for overcoming this??
Would love to hear some advice but while I'm here, I'll share with you all what I've been working with recently!
While studying my undergrad we almost strictly used Python so I have been limiting myself for years by exclusively working with that. Well... I'm bored of Python now and after numerous attempts at trying to have fun with C/C++ or understanding why java is so popular, I have decided to take up learning Golang!!! I'm loving every bit of it so far and it's feeling like it's just what I needed to pick up to get back into programming.
Very happy to have found all of you and thanks for taking the time to hear my story.
Hi I'm Akarsh, I wasted four years of college and at the end realized that coding could be fun perhaps. I'm here to be surrounded with a conducive environment and motivate myself to learn more and gain an interest
Hello! My name is Carlos and I am a CS student in DFW. If all goes according to plan I will graduate with my Associates degree next May. I hope to move on to UT Dallas after that for my Bachelors degree. I also play bass in a punk band.
I currently work full time and take classes at night so it has been a struggle to find time for coding projects. But with classes moving online and the pandemic closing everything down I have more time to actually code and try to build something.
There aren't a lot of people that look like me in my classes so I have gone through periods were I think I don't belong in CS but finding this community and seeing that there are so many different types of people out there coding has given me a renewed motivation to keep going.
Welcome Carlos!
Hello just joined yesterday.
Im a kotlin developer, i love hearing, seeing good things out here.
Hi,
I am new here.
Thanks!!
Good day every one. I have a long name but will simply be called Ikay. I have always had an eye out for computers and coding. Happy to use this free time to explore the various possibilities coding has to offer and sharpen my skillset for the future. I am happy to be here Dev.
Hello! I am Simon, and when Simon is taken away from me i remain an all round Artist (visual arts) i also do well with being part of other people's art work. When i am not being the passionate artist, i am in tech, where i found a home since a very young age. Currently i just decided to get my hands dirty with tech. I spend a lot of time learning Java and a break from java sends me playing with some frontend technologies, css, html and the bootstrap framework, just to mention. I enjoy development talks and that is a major reason i am here to be part of this beautiful community. Learning to code being another reason.
Hello. I'm Zardoz from Spain.
I found this community on a totally random way (Reading a GitHub project on #dlang that connects to dev.to API).
I find very interesting that inclusivenes is one of the first things that you see on the code of conduct (as queer I find this very nice) and I decide to join here.
I hope to push some stuff related to #dlang and/or related with my job as full stack with Java, JavaScript and HTML/CSS.
Can't wait to read what you write
Hi everyone, I'm God'sFavour. A student of Petroleum Engineering but very enthusiastic about coding. I'm a graphics designer also.
I'm really excited to be here, I really want to network with likeminds and be a frontend Developer.
Hello. I'm Enyichi, from Nigeria. I've been seeing dev.to stickers on developers' laptops. That's how I got to know about this wonderful community. I am currently enhancing my front-end developer skills and would love to be a full Stack engineer one day.
Hi everyone! My name is Phil. I am a self-taught developer and I started my professional career back in 1998 in VB6. I have since moved on and now I am working as a full-stack, Microsoft ASP.NET Core developer in a company that I love and have recently celebrated my 13th year with.
I am looking forward to reading the many wonderful blog posts here and learn something new each day. Hopefully by sharing my experiences and opinions, I can help someone else as well.
Hi Everyone!
My name is Ekansh - I am a web designer and working as a Senior UI Developer.
Serious Part:
I started my career as a Manual QA Engineer (almost 2 years) and before that, I was working as a web designer in college with a friend. Within a year I realized that I really liked web development and so learned enough to make an internal switch to dev within the organization. Now its been 2 years working as UI Dev and very recently I realized that I have a lot of knowledge gaps in my learning and my aim now is to be a great developer and work on those gaps along the way. I work in HTML/CSS/JS/ReactJS and beginner level PHP/Wordpress and now I am aiming to be a full-stack dev. \m/>.<\m/
Fun Part:
When I am not coding, I usually try something or the other that triggers my anxiety - one year I ramped walk with no prior experience and a big public speaking fear (well it was a corporate fashion show but a fashion show nonetheless); the other time I wrote and directed a musical play. I love reading philosophy and dystopian fiction and my guilty pleasure is watching romantic comedies.
Hope I get to learn a lot from/with you guys and also give back to this community as much as I can and we have fun along the way :)
Cheers!

Hey everyone, glad to be here! 🙌
Been reading the content here for quite a while, finally decided to join in and perhaps even chime in on a thing or two.
I work as a Technical Product Manager at MacPaw by day, and really love writing NodeJS apps by night. I've only been coding for a few years, and it's more of a hobby and passion than it is a job. Recently I've found myself writing a lot of Slack apps 🤖
Open-sourced a library for working with their Block Kit framework (github.com/raycharius/slack-block-...) and plan on contributing other helpful tools for building Slack apps
There are a lot of things I'd like to share with you all. Starting with my journey to learning how to code, to best practices and tips and tricks when writing Slack apps. Now I just have to find the time to type it all out 🙈
Happy to be a part of the community and here's to taking small steps to rid oneself of imposter syndrome 🙃
I am kamal working as a Principle Software Engineer in Ruby on Rails. I love articles and writing articles. I was using Medium a lot but now each time I get signup message which took me this site, although I read few articles on in this site, but have never join, so today I was listening talks of the guy who develop this site, and how amazing he made his site very fast in RailConf so I want to join as he requested in his talks.
I recently join a company where the project is full of best practices and clean architeture in Ruby on Rails. I have worked on many other projects in rails.

Hey all!
I'm Nicolas, senior creative developer.
Mostly working with JavaScript, making games and writing shaders for clients all around the world.

Y'all having a great day? 🌞 (If you're not, dm me and we can fix that.)
I'm a lifelong hobbyist coder, self-taught, stumbled here through someone's link on Twitter. I actually have no idea what this site is really about, but I'm just looking to see what other devs are up to.
If there's one thing I really appreciate, it's the coding community that helped me along the way for so many years.
