GREETINGS DEV FRIENDS!

I'm Steven from San Diego. I literally just found out about dev.to three days ago. I was working a dead end job as a animal hospital veterinary technician two years ago and decided that I needed a different set of skills. So I decided to learn how to code. I learned the basics of web development and made a few projects, but once the pandemic hit, I haven't done anything else but walk my dogs and build things in React.

I'm such a puzzle fiend. I had no idea how rewarding it is to solve 100+ puzzles in order make something. I'm really glad that web development has become such a big part of my life. The more I dive into these communities, the more I learn that there's really nothing else like software development. I'm looking forward to inspire—and to be inspired—by all of your stories, accomplishments, struggles, and bits of insight.

Super kudos to the developers who maintain this site! The struggle is real, but at least you know that your users feel your feels, ya feel me?
