Greetings from North Carolina.

This website was recommended by a friend and I will be contributing some articles on remote work, QE and tech support.

I have been around for a while and tinkered with lots of technologies and frameworks. My current dev interest is Flask and Python but I am not religious about any of it... :)

Hi, thought I'd introduce myself. I'm a 30 year old full stack developer at a PR agency in San Diego. I've been writing code for fun since I was in early elementary school and got hired as a web developer right out of high school.

My dream is to work at Google or Netflix some day, so I'm taking steps to become the absolute best software engineer I can be. A lot of the articles here seem like they could be useful, so here I am :)

34YO Software developer / DevOps working on a small Mexican company that I co-founded 10 years ago. I work almost exclusively with Python and Django.

Mostly interested in learning and making contacts.

Hello Everyone. I am Glad I am here. I am Senior Software Engineer and currently doing full Stack Development in Angular, Node or c#, MySQL or Mongo. In my free time, I write technical articles in platform called Blogpedia.

How I arrived here is simple enough I was in the deepest Africa, an out of work person from Berkeley told me about a silicone chip with legs like a a centipede outlined in the sand causing big redundancy problems in the United States. In 1975 I set off to investigate I was on the road a long time before reaching SW UK with some tools reparing HDD, opened a computer repair shop 1984 first one south of Bristol, slowly I've been legging along ever since, that's how I am here from one jungle into the digital one without a compass. Where the feck are we?

Hello, I found about Dev.to from one of articles on Qiita (a programmer community for Japanese speakers) talking about how fast Dev.to is. It seems like the community here is pretty cool. I am excited to be a part of it.

Hello all you more experienced young people. I have studied programming off(0) && on (1) since I was very young (age > 50). I continue to study and practice everyday. While I am mostly unpublished, I love the constant learning, failing, trying, humility, and rebirth. Development reminds me of running a marathon up a mountain: Not a single step, not a small sprint, or a large stumble or fall, but always pushing forward. Development is learning to think and organize our thoughts and intentions into the material universe, an act of creation. It is about building order and beauty while the chaos monsters fight viciously to burn our time and devour us whole.

My goals are:

1. to publish my first full stack app using flask/python/mysql/nginx/docker/kubernetes/aws
2. to refresh and extend my javascript kung fu so that I actually successfully use it
3. to make peace with java
4. to help someone else get past a major hurdle in their life(I have been around and made more mistakes than anyone I have met)
5. to automate myself out of a job!
6. to learn
7. to teach

🏃

What's up everyone!! Glad to be part of the community

Hello everybody!!
I am Exel a live learning developer for ever. I hope we could be friends anyway!

I've got here 'cause I am developing a react native app, but I got a bug that it's been imposible to find. Because it happens only when apk is build. =(
And I don't know what to do else to put some log to a database via fetch but is difficult make a rapid trace. I got build every time and it takes too long.

Well I hope anybody has a suggestion!
Thanks.

Hey everyone, I'm Christina from Germany and I just started learning how to code in December :) #codenewbie I just graduated with a MA in History but realised towards the end of it that that's not at all what I'm passionate about. I kept reading articles about tech and career changers and that's how I became inspired to try and make the change myself!

Hello there everyone!! I'm Roy from the Netherlands, so yeah I have that disgusting accent😂 I'm actually still a student, and i think being a developer is super fun. At least, so far😂 After this study I want to learn Cyber Security. And i'm here because at school I cant learn, teachers cant teach and iv'e got concentration problems. When I get home I take my laptop and after 4-5 hours sometimes i take a break😜😜 Funny fact: I hate sleeping. i know it sounds weird but think about all the things you can do in that time. I think that rn I am about 48 hour awake and yea you see i still got energy👽

anyway i wish all of you a nice day im gonna figure my homework out(03:20AM here😅)
p.s at this moment I only do webdevelopment(html, css, js, php, "mysql"), starting to learn it so in a few months ill add something.

Hello there!

I started my dev journey 4 months ago and I just started a Software Engineering bootcamp.
I live in the SF Bay Area.

My goal is to finally find a job where my brain is usefully used, having challenges everyday, and work for a company with good people (is it really too much to ask? 😄 ).

I feel like I will be more interested in Back End dev, but I’m just at the beginning of my journey so we’ll see!

And finally I have the secret goal to prove the world I’m a super 35 yo talented bad-a** mom who can do everything. 💪

Oh, and I’m French. It explains the misspelling and other weird syntax in my messages 😅

Hi guys !!! I'm known as 'Kah', a JS enthusiast (besides I used to program in C#, Java, Grails, Golang). Also, a big cat lover. I have 4 of them: Vlad (a white male, the oldest), Mina (a rescued female with some issues), and Kali and Cinza, sisters, and very different from each other.
I hope I can contribute to this community...

Hello World,

I'm Syed, a JavaScript enthusiast. Excited to join the dev.to community.

I am currently playing the role of software engineer @ FULL Creative by building desktop applications using JavaScript, HTML and CSS.
