Hey DEV. I'm Matthew, a Software Engineer with 2-3 years of professional experience post-bootcamp, mostly Ruby on Rails & JS.

Fun fact: I used to be a professional actor (lots of theater, Broadway, some TV, etc.). Here's a funny commercial I did with Ryan Reynolds.

You played your part well. ;-)

Matthew Greer

He was as nice as he seems, Tommie (@made_of_stars ), and more: collaborative, courteous, and eager to make that silly commercial the best it could be. He warmly introduced himself and immediately started talking with me about a change he wanted to make to the script. "I don't think I should say this line. It's putting a hat on a hat. What do you think?" I thought he was absolutely right; the line commented on the situation rather than letting it be as funny as it was. He then politely wrangled with the writers & director & everybody in charge and got them to cut it.

Oftentimes stars make themselves the only important person in the room, but he invited me to play and suggest ideas. After several takes, I told him -- though it wasn't scripted -- I thought it'd be funny if I knocked the burrito off the counter and he said, "I love it. Absolutely." When we first did it, the 2nd AD got mad at me for it, but Ryan defended the idea and insisted we keep doing it because it was funnier.

My best example is this: we were shooting in a trailer on a hot day, and air conditioning had to be off while we were shooting because of the sound. You might not notice, but I'm in a wool turtleneck and thick trousers and boots, and I was sweltering. Because I'm behind him, Ryan couldn't have seen how uncomfortable and sweaty I was, but when the 2nd AD (who was in shorts and a tank top) griped about how hot it was, Ryan immediately said, "You know who's probably really feeling the heat? Matthew in his turtleneck. Are you ok back there, Matthew? Would you like someone to bring you some water or a towel or something?"

So yeah, based on my experience, he's an extraordinarily kind, thoughtful person and a delightful actor to work with. And thanks very much for the complement!

Since I'm no good in presentations I will be shamelessly stealing @matthew_greers formula.

I'm Simon! Ive been coding for about 7 years, professionally for about 5. I started my journey with App Development schooling, learned some Java and now I'm back with iOS development for the automotive industry.

Fun fact: I once accidentally shaved off one of my eyebrows in an attempt to look neater in preparation for a date I was going to. I also updated my driving licence photo at that time, which was a nice way of reminding me of my embarrassment. (Date went exceptionally well though)

Hey Everyone,

My name is Cullen. I am a Business Systems Analyst who is currently between roles. I am planning to use this time off work to improve my technical knowledge and hopefully teach myself some new skills/languages.

I am super interested in javascript and python and hope to begin there. I am looking at a Coursera course for python but it is a little overwhelming trying to find the best place to start! Would love any suggestions/guidance anyone can provide.

I have lots of experience with databases and automation through my career. I am passionate about PKM and discovering and sharing productivity tools, tips, etc. with the adhd & neurodivergent community.

My latest and greatest PKM tool is Tana. I am currently enrolled in a 4 week course on how to create Advanced Knowledge Systems in Tana. I personally believe that Tana might be a game-changer given some more time and support!

Anyways, it's great to meet everyone. Sorry this was kind of brief and scattered. Would love to chat more with anyone who is interested!

Thanks,
Cullen

Muzamil

Hi everyone,

I'm Muzamil Iqrar, currently a Project Manager with 1 years of experience at a startup, primarily focused on Shopify e-commerce development. I haven't been a fan of programming, but recently, I've developed a growing interest in coding, particularly in learning the MERN stack, and possibly exploring AI in the future.

My journey began during my undergraduate studies, where I initially focused on 3D modeling. However, my interests shifted, and I transitioned into UI/UX design. After joining my current company as a UI/UX designer, I spent 6 months working in UI design. Due to my strong communication skills and the dynamic nature of a smaller company, I was quickly entrusted with the role of Project Manager. Despite having limited knowledge of Shopify at the time, the company provided me with opportunities to learn and grow. Within a few months, I gained substantial practical experience in Shopify development, handling significant projects.

This experience sparked my newfound passion for coding. For the past 4 months, I’ve been diligently learning the fundamentals, starting from HTML, and then progressing through CSS, Bootstrap, and Tailwind. Currently, I’m focusing on JavaScript with plans to master front-end technologies like React before transitioning into backend development.

I understand that this is a long journey, but with perseverance and dedication, I’m confident I’ll achieve my goals. I’m also actively engaging in communities to surround myself with like-minded professionals and continue my learning and growth.

Looking forward to connecting with and learning from all of you!

It definitely has a learning curve, and in my opinion, it's more than enough to only use the Nix package manager (including flakes) on whatever system you're using. It's totally fine to give up trying to switch to NixOS completely, though the philosophy behind it is great indeed

I LOVE optimizing code and working with native tools to make my own libraries, modules and frameworks for later use. Since I have more time, only recently I decided to improve and share these tools over on my github, so stay tuned!

I found DEV today. I visited a post by @gypsydave5 about "Why You Shouldn't Use A Web Framework" (who's opinion I share, btw), and wandered around a bit more and immediately loved the idea of what seems to be a social media app for developers and such. I am not much of a twitter or instagram user really, but this I dig!

I've always wanted to develop my own small indie game and I've dabbled in the past with many of the smaller game engines like Gamemaker and Scratch, but never found my footing. I'm still a super newb but I've recently started to understand coding a little more through some fantastic tutorials. Currently focusing on Godot and GDScript as it has a lower barrier to entry.

I've also dabbled in graphics (both 2D and 3D) as well as some minor sounds creation. I'd love to expand on at and sounds but learning GDScript is paramount to moving forward

I think Godot and GDScript is certainly an excellent way forward. I have dabbled in it myself, but for me as a programmer, I have found that my joy in gamedev is strictly the programming / problem solving part and the editor experience provided by Godot didn't, at the time, give enough to counter the fact that I missed the low-level experience of coding.

Hello 👋
I am a beginner in software development, and I have completed a project for Task management application that can be used in an organization. However, I am concerned about the security of my web application, which is currently not very strong. I primarily use PHP, Bootstrap, and jQuery in my project.

I would appreciate any assistance or recommendations for improving the security functionality of my application.

Thank you!

Hi everyone! I've been in the industry since 2006 and over the past 5 years or so I've discovered my happy place is in the world of DevOps/SRE. Recently took the leap to kick off my own startup in the CI/CD space.

Looking forward to getting to know this community better, and always happy to chat about DevOps, management or share a good (bad) pun.

Hey DEV! I am a tiny gamedev who is making my first game right now! I dont like myself enough to use their own render engine so that is being made from scratch, too!

Please subscribe to my channel as that would really help my game get put out there!

Hi. My name is Bogdan, I'm a Full Stack Developer and I love learning about NextJS Firebase / Supabase.

In my career I was: Web Designer (photoshop), FrontEnd Developer, WordPress Developer, React Developer (+NextJS and Gatsby), then switching to some sort of FullStack, adopting mostly NextJS + Serverless Functions for API's etc. One of my core value is Love Learning, so this is why in my ~20 years of career I've reinvented my self any time I had to.

Right now I'm working on my site Ai Mania. I've just made the transition from Firebase to Supabase. And Supabase is just AMAZING :D

Nice to meet you all! I'll share as much as I can from my knowledge with you! And I'll also learn from you! 🤗
