A dream I didn't even know I had has come true: I'm joining the DEV team as an Associate Software Engineer! 💃🏾
DEV has played a special, significant role in my journey breaking into Tech. After my bootcamp, I sought to continue developing with other engineers (just like I had during bootcamp). So I decided to join an opensource project with Rails as part of their stack. DEV's was the only opensource project that I managed to successfully configure on my local machine. Their code community warmly welcomed my PR contributions.
I switched my blogging platform from Medium to DEV, and later ran an engaging DEV Ask-Me-Anything about my developer journey. That's when I experienced DEV's rich, diverse, respectful and empowering community.

When DEV asked me to be one of their community moderators, I got to know some of their core and auxiliary team members. I later applied to my current position, and in full transparency, didn't expect to get far in the process (that's how intimidated I was by their talent). So yes, I was BLOWN to receive their offer.
I'm so excited to seriously level up - as much in humility and empathy as in technical prowess, to serve the DEV community, and to further DEV's purpose however I'm graced to.
Thanks for reading! 😃

Welcome to the team, Arit! 😀
I searched for a GIF and found one that's just a tad creepy, haha...
😂😂😂😂
Nice GIF! But I can't find the keywords to make this appear in Teams. If I use the URL for the pic, then teams won't display it inline.
Can you find this on gify?
Haha, glad you dig it!
Sorry, but I'm not entirely sure I understand your question here... can you please elaborate?
Also, I can't seem to find this GIF anymore... not sure where I got it from! Here's a similar one though!
haha, thanks. No probs, you'd need to use Teams to understand. That new one is good. But I love the scheming vibes of the OG one. Thanks again and take care.
Oh I gotcha! Ya wanna share this on MS Teams. Dang, yeah I really don't know where this GIF initiated — and lol that raccoon is totally scheming. Best of luck in finding it!
