Welcome Thread - v260

Hi all, I'm an electrical engineer / MBA by education; spent the last decade working in industrial automation writing software mostly on embedded systems. Looking to brush up on some "traditional" software; currently reviewing Python, some cloud tools (AWS, K8S), etc. Cheers!

Hello hello, I’m Jeff Spurlock and I was looking up an answer to an issue, hoping to get stack overflow, and coming across a dev.to link. Thought “this is interesting” and dug into it. I’m hoping to replace my Reddit habit with this community, because half of my Reddit feed is programming related but then I get a bunch of other shit in there too. Plus I like the long form nature of many of the posts here.

I’m the Sr. Full Stack Web Developer for a mid sized corporation (that will remain nameless for now) that does over the counter pharmaceuticals and vitamins & supplements. I’m also working on launching a freelance agency for a side hustle. I my preferred tech stack is Node/Nitro/Nuxt/Vue, but I also do a hell of a lot with Shopify.

What I’m learning is that I’m happiest when I’m coding all day. My ideal job is one where someone gives me mockups and assets and says “here build this” and I can just build it. I’m sick of meetings with vendors and stakeholders and doing billing/financial shit. I want to get to a place in my career where I’m just building day in and day out.

Fun fact about me… hm. I only have 7 fingers after an off-roading accident 10 years ago. I’m a book nerd. I live in Omaha. Apple fan boy. Eh. I dunno. That’s about it

Hello Everyone, I'm a software developer from Indonesia. Nice to meet you all 🤗

Hey all, I'm a 53 yo family guy from Kentucky USA. Years ago I was a network engineer, RHCE certified, worked at RedHat for a time, and was one of the developers for the LPIC2 certification. I was simultaneously involved with Debian GNU/Linux project for a time as well. Did all this while I was in the US Army so it was not my central focus, though quite definitely a passion.

Over the years I sort fell off the tech radar. I worked for some pretty big names once I got out of the Army, but life took me in a different direction for a long time and away from technology.

I'm back after probably 7 or 8 years focusing on my family. Now, I need to refresh my skillsets, learn some new ones, and basically looking to do more than build barebones, or manage networks.

I want to code. I'm heavily drawn to Ruby, Ruby on Rails, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Sort of miss my bash and perl days but not much. I love taking ideas in the head and making them appear in the real world even if its just on the screen. I like rolling ulp my sleeves and diving in even if I don't know a dang thing about any of it. I'm not afraid to learn on the fly. Heck, most of the knowledge we gain in this world is learned on the fly! Am I right, lol?

I try to stay away from politics. I don't do the pronoun/gender/whatever the latest craze thing at all. Personally, I don't really care. If you know what you're doing, or you're learning new stuff like I am, I am more than happy to chat, study together, or work on projects together. Just be a friend, and I'll be one too.

As a side note, if you can't tell from the length of this, I like to chat. Helps meet people, discover new ways of doing things and looking at things, and just the banal everyday stuff like your cat was snoozing and fell off the window sill is cool stuff for me. Lets have fun, hammer problems out together, or just kick back and have fun while we work on our individual projects (or even together). Most times I'm chasing after my 7yo daughter or my 3yo granddaughter while working on tutorials or some new idea I have.

Hopefully that fits in here! Look forward to the BS chats and code discussions!

Hello everyone,

I'm Aayush, a recent graduate with a double major in software engineering. I love coding, especially in Java, Python, and .NET C#. I'm eager to learn and enhance my skills in full-stack development while collaborating with talented and like-minded teams here. Excited to be here!

Hi all!
I'm a DevOps, working and thinking about improving some applications, most of them using desktop and mobile iOS/Android applications.
I'm learning React and ionic and improving my Python skills with Django and Django rest.

Welcome to any news members on DEV! 💜🔥

Hi all, I am currently a beginner in web development, a fresher in the university studying mechanical engineering. Joined the community to widen my knowledge of web development and make sure I am making good use of my time learning how to code.

Hello , I'm Ademidey am a computer science student so i am here to learning about coding and programming. I have know idea about coding and programming i want to learn it so that i can be an expert in this field too i like singing

Hi I'm Brit, Student and also a student in Project Management, App/Web. Developing, Coding, ML/AI Engineering /Data Analytics. 2nd grade teacher by trade. Iintrigued about how incredibly smart we continue to be.

Hello there!

I'm Data Engineer in small team in small (and old) company in Russia. And now I'm studying here for a bachelor's degree in Computer Science.
I'm joining the community because I want to improve my writing and reading skills in English in the tech field so that I can apply for a master's degree in other countries of the world in the future.

Also, I'm interested in topics like python, scala, clickhouse, kafka, or maybe spark and hadoop for building scalable data warehouse/data lake

Hi there, I am Freelancer and a bash lover. You can wake me up at night for bash scripting on Linux/BSD. I love glueing compiled code together into something much bigger. Scripting is always available on every platform. There is always room to automate some more (with what there is already). Things come and go, script stays. Hope you find my posts/articles interesting.

Hey everyone!

Excited to be part of the dev.to community! 👋 I'm a full-stack developer and upcoming CS undergrad (still waiting on that acceptance letter 🤞). Currently, I'm delving into the backend side of full-stack using technologies like Node.js, Express.js, Next.js, and AWS.

Outside of coding, I'm a math nerd who loves solving tough problems and thrives on hard work. Oh, and I've got a thing for jumping rope and MMA – hitting 10,000 skips daily because, well, why not? Ready to share my journey and learn from all of you!

hello everyone, my name is kaykan Tem. what brought me here is the fact that i wanted to be part of something bigger than myself, and I figured this is it. i am still developing my skills in the field. on the other hand, I'm in my final year of a computer science engineering degree._ HELLO HELLO!!_
