Hello there. Though I'm not a very new guy here, but I never really introduced myself.

I am Rechie Kho, and I am a self-taught programmer who does most of the programming thing already.

Here are some facts:

Not sure what crazy stuff will I do after these, but I'll always make sure I have fun in programming them.

The war between vim and emacs is never-ending.

True. We need to keep ourselves sane in such wars. Editors are for us, and not vice versa. Until the advent of IDEs, I used editors for Java programming. Notepad, Wordpad, DOS edit, vim. Text editors took a back seat once IDEs like Rational XDE, Eclipse, and IntelliJ were available to the dev community. Today IntelliJ is my first choice. And I complement it with Notepad++ and VS Code. VS Code is also a very powerful IDE for many languages.

neovim + vscode. It gets the job done. I'm a terminal guy so I got to stay with neovim. But sometime vscode is much easy to setup for some other programming languages as its plugin ecosystem is much user-friendly.

If you love reading books on software development, I would highly recommend the book. I have benefited from the tips and advice given in this book.
The publishers have put the tips for us on their site.

Becoming great at software development requires a genuine passion for the craft, a deep appreciation for its impact on people, and a commitment to continuous learning, critical thinking, and problem-solving. Its scope goes beyond code and computers, emphasizing the interconnectedness of technology and human experiences.

Hi, I was using Medium as a standard place for quality content, but recently I started to get this website in my search more often.

Do you guys think Dev.to is somehow better than Medium or equivalent?

Hello,

I am Joshua, I joined the community to meet other programmers and give help in their projects or learn from them🤗.

I have a decade of experience in programming, and now I'm doing my bachelors of CS in Hungary, but I wanted to meet other developers from the other parts of the world 🌍.

This is my GitHub if you'd like to reach out to me or talk with me about anything programming or CS related:

Wishing you the best programming!

How’s everybody doin & feelin out there in the DEV COMMUNITY?!?Hopefully doin it well (what’s the it I’m talking bout before the well mean???) The it LITERALLY means DEV, and just about anything/everything to do with it. I’m a DIE HARD dev enthusiast & I don’t know if anything else previously in my life has ever brought me the joy, knowledge, wisdom, intelligence, and most of all the sense of purpose I feel in my life that I feel right now and will continue to feel for years & years to come. DEVcommunity and j*DEVELOPMENT* in general JUST ROCK!!!!

Hi there Community.
I'm a former (around 2000'ish) Pro. Coder in C++ Sql and like on the windows platform.
I got really bored dev. admin.sys for Insurance and landlords, and choose to move on.
Got trained as a Social and Health prof. and worked with the pore and elderly for some years, before I kinda drifted to become a Damage Control Worker.
Now I only code for fun and have been doing that for decades.

Hi everyone!

Welcome to the dev.to-community!

I'm Martin, and I worked as a Senior Front End Architect and Engineering Manager at one of the world's largest digital agencies, where I led Front End Teams for international projects. After 15 years, I quit my job. Now I travel the world as a professional scuba diver, work as a freelance Front End Tech Lead and technical Recruiter for international clients. Besides that, I write about technology.

My latest book about Modern Full Stack development will be published in the beginning of next year by No Stach Press. It's an easy, hands-on introduction to creating web applications with Next.js, MongoDB and Mongoose (there's currently a 25% Discount!). You can read more about how to become a published author in my upcoming article about writing books.

I am mentoring fellow developers on another platform as well as on dev.to. I am currently publishing the "LevelUp: Elevate your Career Today" series where I give Career and Interview advice based on my experience as Engineering Manager and Technical Recruiter. (It's bascially free mentoring, don't tell my paying mentees about that :D)

If I have enough time, I write more in-depth articles, for example how to create multi-language pages with next export, which is on GitHub:next-export-i18n and npmjs: next-export-i18n


I recommend following the general tags webdev, vscode , career and productivity and javascript, react, CSS. Head over to your Dashboard and adjust the tag weight to personalize your home feed.


Here's a list of articles to start your journey as a successful developer and a great writer:


If you are looking for your next job, I highly recommend buying the Book De-Coding the Technical Interview Process by Emma Bostian. It is hands down the best preparation for every technical interview.


If you're interested in my articles, follow me on dev.to/martinkr or twitter.com/_martinkr.

If you have questions or want to get in touch, don't hesitate to contact me on dev.to/martinkr.

And remember to start posting today!

Cheers!
