Hey! This is my first post on DEV. I have started learning web development late 2021. I've been learning from home on my free time with the hopes of gaining enough skills to start applying for positions by 2023.
Learning to code has been an amazing experience so far and I'm very excited I've found something I enjoy doing.
With that being said, I've been feeling a bit lonely not knowing any developers and having no one to chat with. So this post is reaching out to the community in hopes of connecting with some developers.
I'd love to connect with other developers on their learning path and I would also love to connect with a developer who is currently employed! I would be stoked to learn about what it's like working as a developer and the daily tasks involved!
Thanks for reading this post and I hope I can connect with a few people :).

Hey Tyler! Welcome to the community. The dev.to community is great and very nice. You'll be able to find all types of content here.
I'm a self-taught developer working mostly on front-end.
Feel free to connect with me twitter.com/relatablecoder
Awesome! I am glad to hear Dev.to is a good place to be. Everyone seems very nice thus far! Just a heads up my name is actually Tyrell, many people mix it up with Tyler 😄. I have followed you on Twitter 🙂! I am fully focused on front-end right now, currently exploring working with APIs
So sorry for mixing up your name! Must have just blended in, happens to me sometimes while reading. But that sounds great if you ever have any questions let me know.
Hey Tyrell,
Out of curiosity, what are you learning these days? I’ve been at it for a bit too.
Hey Brian! Right now learning about Promises and working with APIs in JavaScript. What about yourself 🙂?
Good stuff! I’m working with react and react native right now. Feel free to reach out.
Hey thanks for the words of encouragement 🙂! I am fully focused on front-end right now, currently exploring working with APIs. I would love to connect! Do you have a Twitter or LinkedIn? I'd also be happy to message you through Dev.to!
You're not alone mate, you just don't know it yet :)
Thanks Alin 🙂
You should definitely follow people you see on DEV as a first step with all of this.
Anybody who makes a good comment: Follow them.
I have been a developer for quite a long time, here is my twitter: twitter.com/miniScruffDev, I am also on Discord a bit teaching a few friends weekly as well.
Thanks for reaching out! I've followed you on Twitter 🙂! What language do you help your friends with?
Whatever they want really, usually we focus on web but one friend is just doing classes in Java. I know quite a few languages and tools so it usually isn't a problem.
Edit: For context we have been building a golf score tracker here github.com/treedefense/projectchip for a while.
Hi Tyrell 👋, welcome!
Feel free to hit me up anytime on twitter (@booleanhunter).
Thanks Ashwin! I'll take you up on that 😄!

Hi ,
I would like to chat if you want .

I am still learning web development as well. Hope you have a great start.
Awesome! Thank you Dante! I haven't explored backend, been fully focused on front-end, but learning a lot of JavaScript which sounds like something you use on the daily :).
I am glad, that Dev.to seems to be a good place for beginners. Maybe the content itself is not always the best to start learning, but being able to write about the own journey of learning and sharing it is what it makes great.
As a developer with much experience I also would like to know, what you are currently trying to achieve and what else could be interesting for you!
Hey thanks @curiousdev! I am fully focused on front-end development. I have began exploring working with APIs. I'd like to dip my toes into React this month once I have a better understanding of async and promises in JavaScript 🙂.
Hi Tyrell, I'm a software engineer mainly focused on the back-end (Python/Django). Lately I have been doing a little bit of front-end work and am learning more about it. Hit me up for anything and let's exchange front-end resources!!!
Hi Tyrell,
I am a python developer. I have worked on many aspects of development that include python, for eg:- web dev with django, automation, I have also worked on deep learning also. I have a total experience of 4 years and I have been employed as a python developer for 1 year now.
I love to see how excited people are to join this community, people like you. Like you, I also learned from online sources mostly, so I can relate with you. It is a slow process but it is worth it.
Please feel free to contact me if you want to chat ;)
