Hi y'all - I'm a lurker who decided to de-lurk this week and post some stuff I've written. I've been self-learning completely in isolation and felt it was time to start interacting more with people who know more than I do. First step Dev.to, next step meetups!

I'm learning to code via Rust and TypeScript, and my absolute favorite tool I've found lately is yarn-upgrade-all - to think I was doing that by hand! Tsk tsk.

Rust is a pretty hardcore first language! I've been learning it on and off for a year and it's only now that I'm starting to feel like I'm getting the hang of it. Then again, I think that learning it as an experienced dev might be harder in some ways -- I kept on wanting field ownership to work like attribute ownership in Ruby, and oh boy does it not.

I think you hit the nail on the head - it's a function of what you're familiar with. I disagree with the notion that Rust is inherently more difficult to learn than anything else - it just pushes the complexity up front instead of just letting you write something broken anyway and having to deal with it yourself. You need to learn to do it "right" before you can do it at all, but get over the hump once and you're good to go. I think it's easier to use because you have this fantastic compiler showing you what you're doing wrong. There's much less trepidation around trying something outside your comfort zone because you know rustc has your back. I'm now surprised when other languages let me do things I know rustc would have a problem with and it's a pretty good indicator I might (but not necessarily) need to rethink my implementation.

Welcome, Ben! It's great to have you in the community. :) I can understand how lonely self-learning can be. I'm part of a bootcamp — Flatiron School — and I've at times been very conflicted. I'd say one of the top reasons I'm a part of it is simply the community I get to interact with.

I've heard so many cool things about Rust! Is that the first language you've been learning?

Ben Lovy

Thanks Karyme! I've thought about bootcamps many times before - what holds me back is the time commitment. I hold a non-tech 9-5 job and can't quite swing several months of no income. Lunch breaks and evenings for now will have to do. I take if you've found it worthwhile?

It's not the first language I tried (that was actually Ruby, in high school), but it's the first one I've built anything significant with so I'm considering it my "first" language. It rekindled my enthusiasm for the craft after years of waffling - I can't recommend it enough! The only issue is that now it's difficult to tear myself away - it's appropriate in a wide range of domains and it's hard to shake off the "well, I COULD be doing this in Rust!" feeling.

Hi, how do you like Typescript? I was thinking of learning it. I want to be a frontend developer.

Ben Lovy

Hi Candice! I love it - static, strongly-typed languages are my comfort zone, and TypeScript lets me feel more confident about writing correct JavaScript. If you're new to types, though, the general consensus is to learn JavaScript first and add types later.

I asked this question here last week, there was a good discussion:

Hey folks! Long time lurker who just joined. I'm a full-stack web developer who's been developing professionally for about a decade, and who made anime and fan fiction sites for funsies for about [a faintly embarrassing] number of years before that.

Nowadays I work mostly in Rails, Node, Vue, and React. My favorite kind of front-end, though, is still an old-school server-rendered one. You can do so much with just CSS and PJAX! And new awesome things are being added to CSS every day! (I learned about w3.org/TR/css-multicol-1/ last night and I'm still starry-eyed.)

Right now I'm also learning Rust for funsies. It's really different working in a compiled language but I'm having a lot of fun with it.

Hi guys! Cécile here, French web developer, usually working somewhere between the front-end (JavaScript) and back-end (Java 8) of a stack, it really depends.
I'm looking forward to joining this awesome community. I was more of a lurker when it comes to dev.to (following on Twitter, reading and so on) but today I decided to actually sign up and be there!

In the future, I would love to write a short article about a tool or some experience I want to share. It could help me get started because I feel like I'm being a little bit too silent and might have things to share here, even though I am no expert. Let's find out. :)

I was driven here by the global mood which seems very benevolent, and that can be quite rare in our work field. I hope I won't be disappointed!

I stumbled upon here today and was hooked with the quality and quantity of dev content. I have been part of many other dev communities and hence feel right at home here too.

I am a CS undergrad right now working my way through the principles and methods of Machine Learning and AI in general. Since I have been very interested in Games as a child, working with computers and other technologies makes me relive my childhood dream.

Hoping to meet other people interested in similar works and fields.

Happy to meet and help everyone.

Hi everyone! I'm Thanh from the distant northern land of Finland. I'm new to Dev.to but I think the content and the interaction and the community here is very nice, so why not try. Like other members below, I've also been learning in isolation and I'd like to shake things up and be part of a bigger game, part of a bigger community.

Most of what I do in the day-to-day work is implementing front ends with React and take part in fierce business debates against other 'official designers'. I'm fairly okay with CSS and I really like creative coding to see what new layouts, interactions, and animation can be brought to the web and shake things up.

I'm learning more about new CSS features and tricks every day. Also, I'm learning to solve challenging algorithmic problems using Ruby while also navigating the confusing back-end (and cloud scaling) technologies: AWS lambdas, containers & kubernetes, etc.

I didn't know what a Developer Advocate was until now after googling it! As a Developer Advocate, what does a day-in-the-life look like for you? In your article you mention "learn, teach, write and travel" but I think I'm still a little bit hazy on what it is :)

Eric Bishard • Edited

Hi Mark,

Sorry it took awhile to get back to you. So a day in the life. I can explain that, but first let me tell you a little about my background because I don't want you to think developer advocate is an easy job. I have been doing web development for over 15 years. I have worked with some companies like PSAV, SolarCity, Tesla and also helped run a web development company and freelanced for over 10 years (web dev). These are all things that prepared me for this job.

I mostly write everyday about technology, that is the majority of my work. Writing articles. I write anywhere from 1 to 3 articles a week, while also attending meetups and conferences. I try to get as many speaking engagements as possible. For instance this Thursday I will be presenting at Reactivate meetup in San Jose talking about React Hooks. This talk I am giving is something I have spent the better part of a month writing articles on and now I will use everything I learned to turn that info into a live talk.

My company and I target a list of conferences that make sense for me to go to each year. I will attend about 8 conferences this next year (2019). I will speak at several of them. So I write everyday, publish those writings, attend meetups and conferences, speak at many of them and I also work with our engineering team to make our product better (KendoReact) by talking with those who use it and relaying that info back to the team.

Even though I am a developer advocate for KendoReact. That doesn't mean I spend the majority of my time advocating just for that product. My company expects me to become a member of the JS and React communities as a thought leader. So that means learning everything I can about the bleeding edge of React and JavaScript. If someone wanted to become a developer advocate I would suggest about 5 years of experience as a software engineer or front end developer first, but don't let anything I say turn you off from trying. I would tell that person that they need to be comfortable teaching themselves and others. Finally they would also need to be comfortable writing and speaking in public.

Hope that answers some more of your questions.

Hi, Jean Kaplansky - former ebook standards (#eprdctn) person now working in #a11y as a Technical Writer at deque.com.

I don't get to all the sites much anymore. I've had it with twitter. Trying mastodon. Don't know if it'll stick.

My favorite tool of the moment: Snagit (Tech Writer in me). Starting to really like Visual Studio Code... Anxious to figure out some cool stuff for tech docs on Github - but hoping to do so in a way that's a11y and doesn't involve Jekyll, which doesn't go quite as far as I want it to (no multiple outputs from your single-source). If I have to do true single-source writing, oXygenXML, hands down.

I'm OLD school. Like 1995, was working at Arbortext on SGML stylesheets old school when this new-fangled XML stuff came along. I've flipped back and forth from consulting to educational publishing and finally decided to go back to my roots: small/medium software company. I also spent 3.5 years working for a company HQ'd in India and learned gobs of good stuff about working with people across time zones and cultures.

I don't like DITA. I'm OK with JATS/BITS, and I've spent A LOT of time doing content/information architecture directly in semantic HTML5. I miss DocBook.

I also miss typography, which is where I got my start. As in before, there was a Quark or Indesign. I learned the craft, not the tools. This was my leaping off point to learning how to automate good typography for large-scale publications across multiple delivery platforms. I would not be where I am now if I had not learned the basics.

I'm primary a lurker on DEV.to. But I do like to read the posts and keep up with the esoteric.

I haven't been a developer proper in years, but I like to keep myself knowledgeable enough to be dangerous in an IDE.

BTW - IRL? I'm a concert violist. No. Really.

Hello! I am a Data Scientist. I currently work at SpaceFlight Industries and am a HUGE fan of scikit learn. I mostly do NLP but am getting into deep learning and graphical models.

I also am a pythonista and dabble in flask.

Also I know a little react! But you know don't tell people this.

I really want to contribute and grow as a Data Scientist so looking for suggestions on how to do that and share what I learn from both a mathematical and engineering perspective.

Hello everyone!
I just started reading dev.to and I have to say it is amazing.
Something about me? I am a software developer and I am here to share my knowledge with other people - and learn with them.
Mostly talk about distributed systems, content delivery networks and programming languages.
