Hey, folks. I'm Ty. I'm a Software Engineer and Musician interested in building software for the common person and bringing people together. I recently started a podcast about Software Engineering and I am looking for guests that are passionate about any part of the software ecosystem. Let me know if you want to chat!
P.S. You can find a link to my podcast in my Bio.

Hey Ty! I am a Full Stack Student at Bethel School of Technology! If you ever need someone who knows what it's like to come from a Junior Developer's perspective hit me up. I just started writing articles at: medium.com/@blake.wood.bst and my github is github.com/blakewood84 Please let me know if you come across any places where you can find others who are interested in collaborating with students on small to medium sized projects! I'll check out your podcast!
I'll check out your content for sure! Thanks for the welcome.
Thank you!
Thank you!)
Heyo! Welcome to DEV. :-)
What type of music do ya play?
Hey! Thanks for the welcome. I'm primarily into jazz, funk, metal, and everything in between. Mostly I just improvise and jam, taking part in what I like to think of as music tribalism. Here's the most recent thing I'm proud of: soundcloud.com/tytr_dev/wholemada
Nice! I like your tunes a lot.
You a Vulfpeck fan?
Gotta say the end of R&B Synth jam thing scared the crap out of me! 😅
LOL i forgot about that. Sorry haha. LOVE vulfpeck. Top 5 all time at least right now haha.
Hi Ty! Always nice to see people engaged in music and software development. Starting listen to your podcast and enjoying it.
Thank you! I should have joined dev.to sooner, haha. Getting my podcast in the hands of Devs has proved challenging through other platforms.
Nice! Welcome to DEV!
Hey!
I'm Borja, Software Engineer @ Twitter.
I'm passionate about helping people level up in software engineering, I've started a blog about that.
I'd really like to talk about how to go from beginner tutorials to a more "intermediate" stage in a developer's career. I think there's a lot of good intro tutorials out there, but there are a lot of skills that you can only get at the job or with a good mentor, and I want to change that,
My bio is up to date :)
Hey Ty! What's your instrument of choice? I've been playing drums for most of my life and I just started learning programming. Major career switch! Lol
I'm a bit of a polyglot these days! The guitar was and always will be my first love. I picked up the bass a few years ago and have gotten really into it. I play synth/keyboard as well, and I just picked up an 8-course lute and a handpan tuned to the A Akebono pentatonic scale. Both are super cool!
Currently, the lute has my full attention.
Congrats on learning programming. It's wonderful and I thoroughly believe anyone can do it and be successful. The first episode of my podcast is me and an old boss of mine talking about the difference between Computer Science and Software Engineering. Treating software engineering as an art rather than a science. It might be at least somewhat insightful if you're interested!
P.S. Drums are wicked hard! If you can deal with setting up a drum kit and actually playing the damn thing, programming should be a piece of cake.
Tight! I'll check it out.
The lute...that's amazing, I don't think I've ever seen one lol! My drums unfortunately are packed away in my closet for the time being. Drums and neighbors don't mix very well.
It’s curious but a lot of musicians I know or friends who like metal are also developers, sysops, devops... Haha. Welcome!
Hello Ty! I'm also a Software Engineer and musician, what a coincidence... yours was the first post I saw in the app!
Hello! Love your mission. And your podcast looks cool too. Bookmarked it to check it out
Hey! Welcome to Dev. I will surely checkout your podcast.
Hey Ty - I'm an SRE turned developer advocate and I'd be happy to come on the podcast. Hit me up!
Great to have your broadcast
Hello! My name is Lillian and I understand that this is a comment, not a post. ;)
I began working as an untrained legal assistant in 2013. It was interesting, challenging, inspiring, and I kept doing it until last November 30th, when I was laid off. That's when I realized I didn't enjoy what I was doing and thought that I would rather learn to code. I started taking udemy courses right away (I've signed up for probably too many but I'll always have something to do!), and I even joined a COVID-19 hackathon this past spring. That project taught me I have ALOT to learn and a LONG way to go, so I joined #100DaysOfCode a few days ago. My log is here: github.com/LillianWight/100-days-o...
I heard about CodeNewbies from The StackOverflow podcast and I think it's going to be right up my alley. I need encouragement, guidance, and chocolate.
Haha! Great ending to your intro. We have plenty of encouragement and guidance to give here... all outta chocolate though, we ran out just yesterday, such a bummer.
In all seriousness though, really hope you dig it here. 😀 You may find this beginner's guide to DEV helpful if you're not super familiar with the site:
A Beginner's Guide to Dev.to

If you have any questions about the site, don't hesitate to ask!
The Beginner's Guide is excellent! Probably the most welcoming guide I've ever seen. Thanks, Ali and Michael!
Awesome, so glad this was helpful! 😀
Welcome Lillian! I know we can provide the encouragement and guidance. As for chocolate 🍫, while I love it too, you’ll have to settle with a virtual taste.
Don't worry, Katie. You can tell me: Michael (above) ate it all, didn't he? :P
Yes, I have actually seen him and he looks like he could do that! 😊

Hello Everyone I am Frontend Developer And Always Happy To Learn Something New :D
I had some experience working with HTML, CSS and JS but have some gap on understanding deep things. I have willing to improve myself and i am looking for new role :D
If you someone have willings too to work with me i would be appreciate :D
Currently, i am looking active for a job because my project was stopped because of Corona situation.
Welcome to DEV! 👋
Hi all! I’ve just discovered this site and it looks promising.
I’m Sergio, from Spain, and I’m a fullstack dev. I love JavaScript and best practices, but I also do some devops stuff, or CI/CD, sometimes python, php... always multitasked. On the other side I love to play guitar, videogames, TV shows, movies, books, comics, manga...
Nice to meet you!!
I love CI/CD and python, and dabble a bit in JavaScript.
Love CI/CD, too, it provides so many benefits, appreciate automation the most.
I started using GitHub Actions this year during the hackathon and it was life changing.
It is really cool
I’ve started using GH Actions too for work but on private repositories you have a limit of actions executed so I had to stop using it (at least for work hehe). For my public ones I was using travis-ci but probably I’ll migrate to GH actions to have everything in one place

Hope, I will be welcomed here)
Hi all. I'm commercial diver who love dev from long time (i was a child and start BASIC, then C when Comodor 64 was born). I'm reconverted myself at 45 years old to become a dev professional. I'm very happy to learn all the time languages and new devops tools myself around C++, Kotlin, Ruby, Python, Javascript, Rust, Golang, and many other languages. I feel sur better with typed languages, but i do appreciate to do things easy also with other new age languages (maybe at first place with Python or Ruby). I also like electronic, and some ARM support. I'm also an full Unix and Linux lover.
Commercial Diver to DEV what a change. Welcome to the community. I'll be excited to see what you post over in the #python thread. If you're more comfortable with typed languages, you need to try out mypy and optional type hinting in python.
thank you Waylon Walker. Yes, i love my commercial diver job, but i feel myself no more young, but not old, and i want more freedom and i love also coding things, so before to become old, i do change my life.
It should be possible to me to get job from this point (i get my new freelance number, so i'm trying to find clients).
I don't know what i can post around any language (Python why not ?) here or other place an other one didn't already. If you have an idea, i will do it the best i can. Tell me. My feeling is that, as long as there is something someone want it doesn't find, we can maybe provide something to help. In Python, doc and API doc is already very good, language is also very easy to understand. Some point around Meta programation or interface (ABC or Zope) is a bit more difficult, but not to much people need to know it...
What do you think it can be possible to do to contribute there ?
Hi everyone, I'm Katie the #welcome moderator.

Hello, I'm a software engineer by profession. The topics that interests me are anything opensource, Linux, Ruby and Android. I'm hoping to be involved in a community where I can share knowledge and improve my skills as an engineer. I have few posts to share of my own that I plan to import from my Medium blog. That said, I am happy to be here.
