Hi everyone!

I recently started a blog and a friend told me that I can cross-post my content here just adding my RSS Feed URL in the settings, which I find very handy.

I'm looking forward to learning a lot from all of you.

Cheers!

hey everyone,

From all the comments and posts looks like a great community here. Looking forward to joining it.

I'm 12 years into programming, mostly with PHP and Javascript but looking to learn Ruby and Python.

Also like the devops and testing side too and learning the best way to go about setting everything up. Hopefully can sharpen my skills here.

Hi,
so what am I supposed to write? I am still not sure what this platform actually is. Something of everything, as it seems.

So yeah… about me. I've recently made an Offline QR Code Generator add-on for Firefox:
github.com/rugk/offline-qr-code

And in case you know the German Öffi app, here is a petition for open-sourcing it: secure.avaaz.org/de/petition/Oeffi...

what's a non-dev thing you're doing lately?

Signing up to this site? Or does not it count? 😉

BTW, where can I give feedback/bug reports or similar about this thing here? Or ask questions?

Hi folks!

I´m from Brazil, and no, i´m not a troll... :P

English it's not my main language, so, patience with me, folks, please. And correct me, if you want.

I make software since 1989, started with some DOS languages (C/C++, clipper, dbase, asm, etc.)

Today, i'm software engineering and work with Java Ecosystem, some .NET projects, and, specially, studying a lot about IA (Machine Learning)...

I want to make some pair programming friends...

If you guys want some help, maybe i can help... maybe not... but, let's code!

CYA!

BTW, i'm spending time with my daughter and my wife... this is my non-dev thing... :)

Hello everyone, I am Mauricio Voto - a Brazilian web developer that is trying to share knowledge since I always learned from great articles and screencasts. So I decided to start writing about things that calls my attention and glad to join this community that could possibly help me on this mission.

Here's my first kid, an introductory article: dev.to/mvoto/vim-basicspart-1-mode...
If you're interested about vim, I would love to get some feedback :)

Cheers !

Hello Everyone!

Looking forward to being a part of this community and being able to get feedback and become a more knowledgeable developer. I've coded off and on for a bit now, but over the past 6 months or so I have tried to put more of an effort into this craft.

I am currently trying to learn React and try and become efficient in that.

A non-dev thing that I've been truly committed to lately is getting back in the gym.

Omri Har-Shemesh

Hello devs!

I'm Omri, a data scientist from Israel living and working in Germany. My go-to language for almost everything is python, but I also use Javascript quite a lot. I'm now trying to learn AWS for data science (Kinesis Firehose, Athena, etc...) which is a rather confusing thing to try to learn.

I'm also a parent of a 2-year-old daughter, an avid boulderer (when time permits) and actually, I am originally a physicist that went astray into the fields of data science.

I'm looking forward to get to know this community - learn and contribute as I can :)

Hey Everyone, I'm a software developer here in New York City, and I am looking to contribute to the open source community centered around the Ruby stack. I live in Brooklyn, and I love to ride my bike.

I am also interested in developing out a teaching community which would teach its skills to the people of New York City -- this is not an online school.

Message me if you are either interested in contributing to open source or teaching something tech or design related in New York City.
