A friend recommended this website to me. So I thought I'd check it out and join!

I am passionate about design, art, photography, web development, and love problem-solving with a team to find solutions. Nine years in the retail, hospitality, and customer service industry along with leadership experience has taught me invaluable lessons and skills. It taught me hard work, grit, resilience, client retention, customer satisfaction, teamwork, and leading and inspiring others with empathy and active listening. What I enjoyed most about being in this industry was being able to work and connect with diverse people from different backgrounds. I treat clients and my team as if they’re my best friend, which in turn has made me so many friends and connections.

My coding journey started as a teenager when MySpace and Tumblr was at it's peak. I wondered how layouts worked and spent my time figuring out what all of this 'stuff' was. Tinkering around and learning how everything worked was fun for me, and before I knew it, I figured out what things did. I didn't continue figuring more things out as MySpace and Tumblr phased out of popularity. I figured out the skills I was learning at my teenager translated into jobs, so I pivoted careers right into UCI's full stack bootcamp that I am currently attending. Here I am now! I hope to find an entry-level/associate Software Engineering role ASAP so that I can get to work!

Bonjour Γ  tous,

Je suis un dΓ©veloppeur dΓ©butant dans ReactJS et je suis ravi de participer Γ  ce forum de dΓ©veloppeurs. J'ai rΓ©cemment commencΓ© Γ  apprendre ReactJS car je souhaitais ajouter une nouvelle technologie Γ  mon arsenal de dΓ©veloppement. J'ai Γ©tΓ© impressionnΓ© par la flexibilitΓ© et la puissance de ReactJS pour construire des applications web modernes et interactives.

J'ai dΓ©jΓ  commencΓ© Γ  utiliser ReactJS pour construire des composants simples, mais je suis enthousiaste Γ  l'idΓ©e de continuer Γ  apprendre et Γ  utiliser toutes les fonctionnalitΓ©s avancΓ©es de ReactJS pour construire des applications plus complexes.

J'aimerais également discuter avec d'autres développeurs expérimentés dans ce forum pour obtenir des conseils et des astuces sur la meilleure façon de continuer à apprendre et à utiliser ReactJS. J'apprécierais toutes les réponses et les commentaires sur mes questions.

Merci d'avance.

Hello ,

I recently learned Node.js and TypeScript for 2 months. Last week, I received help on this website on how to configure Express.js in Docker, which was really helpful. Today, I searched for solutions in Node.js for my problems again and received also wonderful explanations on dev.to. As a result, I decided to create an account on that website. My next career plan is to integrate my cloud architect and Node.js/TypeScript skills in my next job. I hope we can help each other.

Bilim Yurti | Junior Cloud Architect,

Hello!

I'm a co-founder of Dopt, which provides SDKs to help developers more easily build in-product onboarding and education flows

I started coding in high school in when I used visual basic and then studied CS in college. I ended up going on to study human computer interaction and spent the early part of my career building design systems in backbone.js for companies like Splunk. I then went all in on design, eventually leading growth design at Dropbox. While at Dropbox I learned how hard it was to develop amazing onboarding experiences, so I decided to leave to start Dopt.

I've always loved the intersection of design and dev, so working on Dopt has been really fun because our tools make it easier for devs to make really cool and amazing experiences that would usually be super hard.

I'm just learning about this community, so would love to connect with anyone building onboarding!

Seems like a great place to leverage for my journey as a junior fullstack blockchain/web3 dev.

I'm open to unpaid opportunities for a short while, so I can pick up experience quickly.
If you'd like extra helping hands on the frontend/backend side let me know. My skillset below.
Fully remote only.

I'm absolutely mind-blown by ChatGPT and Github Co-Pilot.

Solidity, Hardhat, Javascript/React/NextJS, Ethers.js/Python/Vyper/etc

cheers
