Welcome Thread - v39

Hi everyone! 👋 I'm currently an engineering manager at Uber, in Amsterdam, where I help a team of developers grow every day. Before I transitioned into management, I was a developer for a long time, starting with web, then doing backend and mobile - all the way from Windows Phone, iOS, then Android.

I love to share what I learn learnings, both on my blog and I've written a few articles here as well. I've also recently started writing a book on growing as a software engineer, in a tech company or startup. This is from starting out at the first job, through leveling up to being senior, all the way to the staff/principal levels of making wide company or industry impact. I'm writing the type of book I wish I had earlier in my career. There's a lot of great books on how to write good code, but growing as a software engineer, working at a tech company goes well beyond just coding. If you'd like to get updates on the progress of this book, you can subscribe to updates or follow me here.

Finally, I'd like to share the top thing that helped me grow professionally, in all the environments I've worked in. Don't be afraid to ask the "stupid"/straightforward questions when you join a new company or team. No matter how inexperienced or experienced you are, being able to phrase what you don't know and ask for help really helps you and the person trying to help you. Early on in my career, I was lucky enough to do this subconsciously. Later, I started to do it consciously, whenever starting to learn a new technology. If there was someone around me who knew it well. I would tell them "I'll ask some basic questions when I'm stuck, but I promise to do my research before and not ask the same two questions ever." This simple thing helped me grow so much faster, I recommend you try it if you've not done it before.

I'm excited to be here and contribute, share my expertise and also learn from all of you!

Hi all, hi Gergely Orosz,

what brought me here was the Indie Hackers podcast with Ben Halpern I think, really inspiring (just as the Interview with Evan You :-))

I'm working on an Open Source temporal NoSQL document storage system called SirixDB written in Java (and a module in Kotlin) in my spare time. In my day to day job I'm also working as a backend Software Engineer. Besides I'm dancing a lot -- swing dances, mainly Lindy Hop and travel to festivals in Europe often times during my holidays :-)

SirixDB (sirix.io or github.com/sirixdb/sirix) is all about efficient versioning of your data. That is on the one hand it reduces the storage cost of storing a new revision during each transaction-commit while balancing read- and write-performance through a novel sliding snapshot algorithm and dynamic page compression. On the other hand Sirix supports easy query capabilities for instance to open a specific revision by a timestamp or several revisions by a given timespan, to navigate to future or past versions of nodes in the tree-structure and so on. It basically never overwrites data and is heavily inspired by ZFS and Git and borrows some ideas and puts these to test on the sub-file level.

In stark contrast to other approaches SirixDB combines copy-on-write semantics on a per revision and per page-level versioning. It does not require a write-ahead-log for consistency.

It all started around 2006 as a university / Ph.D. project of Marc Kramis and I worked on the project since 2007 and already did my Bachelor's Thesis, Master's Thesis as well as several HiWi-Jobs on topics regarding the project and I'm still more eager than ever to put forth the idea of a versioned, analytics plattform to perform analytical tasks based on current as well as the history of the data.

Hi everyone! I'm an AI volcanologist (🌋, rather than 🖖). A condition of my funding is communicating my research, and I'd rather do it in a friendly forum than shout out into the abyss of an obscure web-blog.

I've spent some time as a data scientist and back-end architect, so I'm also here to keep my skills fresh! I'm looking to keep a steady flow of articles out over the next year, with a 52-week blog challenge - 52 weekly blogs or articles on data analysis, writing good code in a scientific environment and computational research the natural sciences!

I stumbled on this page searching for a very basic thing and the answer literally blew me off- so I decided to join this community. I have a lot to share and learn :)

Hi Dev Community!

I am a self-taught Web Developer with a Bachelors in Industrial Engineering that decided to switch careers from the manufacturing industry to web development. Interesting enough, one of my first projects was to develop a web-based platform to automate administrative processes on the manufacturing industry. This web development /programmer approach suits me better 😆.

I run ctrl-y blog where I write about learning to program and changing careers.

Learning to program the web on my own has been fun, challenging, and exciting. Having a community to learn from makes it even better!

Hello,

I´m Java developer and looking for java content e more others technology in this beautiful community rs...

Hello Everyone! Great to be here. I'm a beginner in the developer world. I'm excited to learn from experienced Devs and share my own journey as I grow. A pleasure to meet you all!!

I'm 14 and a technophile, programmer and learning datascience and this year I am taking part in IOI the first round-ZCO

Hi guys.

I am an Android developer, I love to participate in large and robust projects, breastfeeding good code and complying with the principles of Uncle Bob, “SOLID”.

I am currently in a big problem, which is why I arrived or turned out here, I am migrating a monolithic android project to Multi-Module, I don't know how to start and not die trying since I must guarantee that each module has its unit tests.

Any advice or suggestion of blogs would be helpful friends.

Another problem I have encountered is navigation or communication between Modules, among this, there are some alternatives with Injection Dependences, Dagger and Koin.

Dagger is the most common and the one suggested by Google but it is the most complicated.
Koin I see that it is super easy, I have not worked.

I don't know which one to choose for my Migration Friends, so it would be great to help or advice which way to choose.

Thank you very much to all.

Hey everyone! I'm Jeff, I most recently worked remotely for a company called Future Foundry as a Full Stack developer on a handful of different web/native projects, while there I also worked as a vendor for BCGDV for a few months. Now, I am currently looking for new opportunities.

I consider myself a life-long learner and love sharing my dev projects and experiences with others. Most recently I've been trying to be more active in the development community and have had a blast doing so. I am interested in contributing to open-source and just finding ways to be creative and helpful to others. Also thought about doing a #100daysofcode challenge just for fun.

Looking forward to getting to know everyone!

Hi everyone 🙋.
I'm a tetiary student in Ghana and I'm starting to love game developing.

Hello Guys...
I'm called Bless Darah, a UI Designer and Frontend Developer at Y'G Inc Cameroon.
I love being around people who can teach and mentor me to be the best in what I do. The articles here on DEV are just so super awesome that I would love to learn how to write like the distinguished authors of such articles.
I want my voice to be heard (not with the wrong knowledge of course, but with distilled and well filtered content that will come from a community like this one) as every man has a story to tell. I'm certain that my successes, mistakes and failures can help to be an eye-opener to many.

I'm therefore more than excited to see how my own contribution can help inspire the entire coding community.
Cheers!

Write a program that takes as input a depth and computes and displays the temperature
inside the earth in Celsius and Fahrenheit. The relevant formulas are
Celsius = 10 x (depth) + 20
Fahrenheit = 1.8 x (Celsius) + 32

Hello, beautiful world\r

Hi Everyone,
I am currently working as a software developer working at Microsoft, India. Have been 2 years in the industry and am loving it.
What brought me here:
1) I am stuck at this point in life where a change is needed but am not able to pursue on the same.
2) I have a lot of stuff in the backlog but lag on completing the same.
3) Lastly, I want guidance from the fellow intelligent peeps in this community to shape my career well.

Also, please review my resume as I am planning to make a switch to a different company.
