Hello! We use Markdown for writing comments and articles. See our editor guide here.

Also, it's freezing here in NYC, so I figured a friendly snowman would be nice. Not having to go out in the cold and working remote is great.

Hi! I'm Tom. I work at Twitter where I've been for over 4 years.

I do a few different things, but I tend to focus on making frontend and client engineers more productive by building tools and APIs or writing documentation. You could call it product infrastructure.

Right now I lead Twitter's GraphQL team and a bigger project called Private API, which is about improving how our apps — iOS, Android, Twitter Lite and TweetDeck — get their data.

I'm interested in using dev.to to help, guide, and learn from developers who have complex or novel problems to solve.

Ruby is just beautiful. Gosu works pretty well as long as you don't need too much speed and will certainly do for RPG and arcade games. Mostly anything you would do with Godot you can do with ruby and Gosu.

On the other hand, I really don't know about the new JIT Compiler in recent ruby versions (specially 2.7 and 3), but it seems that as long as you have some repetitive tasks, speed can be greatly improved, even more than using JRuby to compile it to Java code.

Keep us updated on your gamedev!

Best!

I've been learning to code for a year and I'm really into Front End development and static generators. I always love learning new things but coding really challenges my view world, and that's amazing. I've been a Linux distros and Unix for 15 years or so, and loved the command line ever since.

Hello all....I don't think I've ever seen this site, but I came across an article and saw the 'shameless plug', looked around a bit and it seems like one I wish I'd have seen long ago...

Self taught, been at it daily, religiously for about 18 months and I really enjoy it... Didn't plan on trying to make a career change, but now that's all I think about. It's one of those fields where I never feel like I know enough to make the jump though, and I have a full time job and family, so quitting my job for an internship that is low-no pay isn't really an option.... I'd gladly take advice, but that's not what I'm here for, just here to learn and enjoy myself... Good day!

Hi there. I'm a old-timer in the development field, wrote my first IF statement in 1979, and started coding professionally in 1989.

For many years I've repeatedly evolved into being the "enabler" on my team - the guy who writes and/or builds the stuff to make everyone else's jobs easier & more efficient. From building a text-based windowing UI in C/8080 assembly (for MS-DOS), to creating HTML-generating libraries, report generators, to building and running the server platforms, that's been me. The Plumber. I get my hands in all the nasty stuff, so you don't have to.

I like Javascript very much and know quite a lot actually, like, Node.js, Express.js, Angular, React, Next.js, Electron.js, D3.js, Three.js, CreateJS, gulp, webpack, etc. But I basically didn't mind working with other languages and tools like, Android-java+native, Espresso UI testing, PHP, Laravel, Codeigniter, MySQL, MongoDB, Java, Python, C#, Unity3D, Blender, SketchUp, C++, C, Arduino ........ I know what you might be thinking, like, "Cool it dude, you seems pretty messed up with your focus!" Well, may be, I don't know, may be a little bit? :D

May be a little bit more messed up cause comparing to my diversity of skills, number of fully completed portfolio finished all by myself is significantly less. I know this and trying to fix this drawback.

Last night, I watched the movie, Divergent and felt like, yeah! I might be a Divergent actually! I don't really fall into any category yet do pretty well with whatever I am up to at the moment!

Hello everyone!

My name is Wern, and I'm a freelance web developer (primarily using PHP and Laravel). I also do mobile app development on the side using React Native.

Non-dev thing that I've been doing lately? Yoyoing. I'm actually picking up something new for 30 days just for the sake of enjoyment.

I'm here because as a freelancer I often work on projects alone. So I don't gain that many insights when it comes to development. I'm interested in incorporating Docker, unit testing and continuous integration as part of my development toolset and workflow. Up until now I've only used Vagrant and no unit testing (and other types of testing) for the web apps that I develop. So I'm hoping you could help me out with that :)

Oh and I also write tutorials for Tutsplus (Mobile Channel) and Pusher, so I might post a link to newly published articles every now and then.

Looking forward to being a part of this community!
