I’m Vaidehi Joshi, Senior Software Engineer at DEV/Forem- AMA

Hi! I’m Vaidehi Joshi, Senior Software Engineer at Forem.

I’ll be joining Nick Taylor and Christina Gorton on Wednesday, October 21st on thePracticalDev Twitch stream to talk about what I do as a senior software engineer at Forem, working with the Forem backend, and answering any of your questions!

I would love to answer any questions you have about working as a software engineer, my past projects, open source, and more.

Feel free to ask any questions you have in the discussion thread below!

Hi Vaidehi,

Currently I am doing your BASECS series! Thank you. How do you approach when stuck on a problem and not going anywhere. I am working on a JS based project but hitting some blocks and not going anywhere, Any suggestions would be great.

Praveen.

I see C# orJava programming languages more readable and maintainable than ruby. So how did you manage to learn ruby ? Are you comfortable with it ? What you don't like about ruby ?

Do you see Rust in the future of your work? 😁 I would love to learn it but not sure what Rust can do.
