Hi, I'm from Yorkshire, UK ๐
I've written a post about why I'm making the move to tech / coding but in a nutshell, I want to move away from my current job as I currently work in an environment where it is normalised and expected to be abused / assaulted. Definitely want to move away from this and begin a career in an industry where I can continuously grow and learn whilst keeping myself safe!
Say hi back and tell me where you're from ๐
Hi and welcome to DEV! I'm from Nashville, TN USA.

Hello, I am David from Caen, France. Very sad to hear that. You wrote the very first comment I read on dev.to and it feels heartbreaking. I hope you find your way through web development. I strongly believe that everybody can/should learn. I'm sure you'll stay dedicated and that everything will be fine.
If you have any questions about front-end dev, don't hesitate to ask. I'll try my best to help.
Take care. ๐

Hi, I came in here from Scrimba's Markdown course as am taking their Frontend Developer Career Path program.
I am a UI/UX designer who's seeking to transition to code as a UX engineer.
Currently, I am exploring open source, and contributing my design skill to OpenRefine (an open source Data wrangling tool), where I recently concluded my Outreachy internship in the May - August cohort of this year.
Heyo Lydia!
Welcome to DEV! My name is Michael and I'm a Community Manager here.
I hope DEV is a good resource for ya as you make the transition from UI/UX designer to UX engineer! The community is pretty dang awesome and helpful here.
OpenRefine sounds really cool! Because it's open source, I'm wondering are ya trying to contribute to the project at all?
Hacktoberfest is going on all this month and is really geared toward introducing new developers to the world of open source. If you're interested, you can see more details about the event here! We also have a helpful series of posts that provide more info on the event which you might wanna check out.
Anywho, whether or not you're interested in Hacktoberfest, it's great to have you with us! ๐
Hi Michael,
Thank you for responding and yes, I am contributing to OpenRefine at the moment, as a designer. In the past three months, I have worked on improving workflows for design contributions and collaboration on the project, improved the GitHub label structure of issues and also written a 10 page documentation on how designers can contribute to OpenRefine that is available on the website .
Right now, I am working on the redesign of the reconciliation feature of the tool.
Thank you for sharing about Hackroberfest. I'll go look at it now and yes, I am very much interested.
Oh that's awesome, Lydia! Just took a look at the link and the docs look awesome and feel really intuitive... fantastic design work.
Anywho, best wishes as you make that transition. You got this! ๐
See ya around DEV!
Thank you!

Concurrently, I am the ambassador of the Ethernity cloud project and my current goal is to find dapp developers for confidential cloud computing with maximum data protection.
Oh wow, integrating tech with the medical field is a great goal. Hope you enjoy being part of the community, Konstantin!

My name is Michael and I'm a Community Manager here at DEV. I'm from the states by the way โ Pittsboro, NC to be specific!
Just checked out your profile and you've been posting some great resources! One recommendation I have is to add as many tags as you can to your posts... this will help them to be discovered by folks. It looks like you've done so on some but not all of your posts.
In any case, you might enjoy reading through this Best Practices for Writing on DEV series. Please don't get me wrong, your writing is awesome... this series will just give you a bit more information about how to get the most out of writing on DEV!
Anywho, appreciate you sharing so many awesome posts with us, and don't hesitate to hit me up if you have any questions!
Thanks for suggestions and resource! I will surely go through it ๐
Please stay in touch ๐
Hi, I'm Iqbal from Malaysia
Recently I have been feeling my skills are lacking and I hit a wall as I don't know what I should learn to improve. Thats where I google "blogs that every software engineer needs to follow" and it led me right here. Currently I wish to read and learn tips,tricks and new knowledges for self-improvement. Hoping the community of dev.to would be a huge help for me. ๐๐ป
Right on! Glad you Google led you to us, Iqbal. ๐
My name is Michael and I'm a Community Manager here. Good to meet ya!
There are loads of folks sharing helpful posts here, so I hope you're able to find some good resources to help you expand your knowledge and continue to grow. I think it's pretty common for folks to hit a wall in their learnings... I've seen a good number of posts on the topic, so perhaps there's some advice in there that can help you out. If not, I hope it's at least some consolation that you're not alone.
Just curious, what types of things are you doing as a dev and do you have a primary focus? In any case, our community is broad with different folks out there covering lots of different topics. I'd recommend exploring some of our most-used tags, following those that interest you and hiding those that don't.
Hope you dig it here and feel free to hit me up here if you have any questions or feedback!
Hello Iqbal โจ love your name
Letโs work hard together ๐ซก
