Thank you! I should have joined dev.to sooner, haha. Getting my podcast in the hands of Devs has proved challenging through other platforms.

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

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.

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 :)
