I also really enjoy cooking and I think the weekends are a great time to explore some larger ideas.

Is there anything in particular that you enjoy cooking lately? Types of food, techniques, something else?

Andy Zhao (he/him)

Yeah! I've been working on veggie burgers recently. It's been a real uphill battle for me though. The hard part is getting them to shape properly; mine patty just comes out sticky and hard to fry.

Otherwise it's been a lot of practicing basic knife skills like mincing garlic, slicing onions, and also cutting down meal prep times less. I think I've made pancakes for like three weeks straight, pretty much every other day. Definitely have the recipe memorized and can make it really quickly now!

I spent this past weekend making chickpeas, and I oversalted them. It was a good lesson because through the process I figured out how to desalinize them.

I am actually a Mom of a 9 yr old who is passionate about coding. (which is a whole nother language to me)He has bad ADHA and Anxiety and Coding and computers are what he loves. He wants to develop a game. As of right now he has just followed tutorials and made games. I am trying to understand how all this works and hope to get some good information as to how I can help my son and direct him in the right way as to what he should do learn first and what Systems he should play with. He knows a lot but needs something easy to follow and learn. Any help is appreciated.

Hey Hoidberg! That's super awesome of you to go above and beyond for your kiddo like this and really try to become a part of the community!

I think a lot of us got into development to build games, I'm glad to see gaming has sparked an interest in programming for another young developer.

While I'm not as well versed in game development specifically, I'm happy to talk about programming and algorithms in general and talk through problems if either of you want to!

As a software developer with ADHD who has children with ADHD, big ups to you for trying to help where you can. It can sometimes be hard to find the kind of activities that are stimulating for young children.

James Stone

My name is James and I was introduced to dev.to by @hamatti and I am looking forward to doing more technical writing and interacting with the community. Recently I have been focused on TypeScript, React, Redux, Functional Programming, a bit of Elm, Electron, Docker and some Python/Flask.

I would consider myself an ambivert. An extravert that needs a fair amount of alone time to site alone, deep in though, processing the world and what has happened, ideally in the middle of the forest in Finland or an island, or wherever I can find some silence from the noise.

Recently I have been interested in early programming languages such as Fortran and Lisp and using modern tools like Docker to use them. Fun fact: my mom taught me to program in Basic in 2nd grade on an Atari 600XL.

I've joined far too many of these forum-like sites, so my intro post may very well be my outro post. That said, I strive to get out there in the community better so here goes!

I'm Alex. I'm a full-stack software engineer based in London. I've worked across multiple languages and paradigms, but what I'm most interested in right now is how you do the minimum code to get the maximum value. Very much of the philosophy 'Make it work; make it right; make it fast.', after a few years trying to make it right before it works, hah! Clean Code and The Clean Coder are my favourite dev books, though I'm always interested in improving my craft.

I've talked a few times around London and hope to become a world famous functional programmer. Unfortunately, things never change on the functional programming scene.

I will probably get some terminology wrong (like variadic...) but I won't take offense if you correct me. That's part of learning.

My career has me in a dotnet world and also Netsuite which is why most of my (or all) stuff os focused in Netsuite. Not a lot of info so I want to help others.

Hi. My name is Richard. I came here after watching the GoRuCo talk on confreaks. I’ve been working in startups since I came to Silicon Valley from my native UK, 20 years ago this year. I’m an extrovert when I’m filling in marketing/bizdev/sales roles and I turn more introverted when I’m writing code every day. It’s kinda funny like that.

I mostly work in Ruby because I’ve loved it for a decade and coding in Ruby brought me back to programming after about ten years leading go to market efforts.

I first learned to program the old fashioned way - via English re-translations of Chinese translations of pirated Apple manuals on my Apple II as a kid in Hong Kong in the 80s - a computer I still own!

Hello hello! Just about to finish a full-stack (MERN) coding bootcamp at Northwestern University in Chicago and starting to look for ways to remain active and connected to the developer community beyond class.

Going into the program, I knew full well I would prefer back-end over front-end as I am much more logic driven than creative, and that has certainly proven to be the case. With that said, will always be looking for resources to continue to refine and polish my front-end skills .

We are currently working on our final projects which I am making what will actially be my best-friends website for his upcoming wedding in Hawaii.

Skills learned so far: version control (with hit and GitHub), deployment with Heroku, HTML, CSS, Bootsrap 4, JavaScript, jQuery, Firebase (database and authentication), Moment.js, node.js, express.js, passport.js (authentication), Handlebars (templates), MySQL, Sequelize ORM, mongoDb, Mongoose ORM, and react.js.

For my project, I am actually also learning/using: TypeScript, Material-UI, Nest.js as an alternative to express, as well as unit testing with jest and enzyme.

I’m so happy to have finally found something not only am I good at, but I love doing!

What I would like to learn next: Vue

Heyy everyone!

I'm 16, from India and just found out that I LOVE to code. I've watched a TON of tv shows and read a bunch of novels (cause that's what you do when you're an introvert lmao). My goal is to be a digital nomad because I wanna travel.

Also, I would love to make some friends. We can grow together, hold each other accountable and have fun! Please feel free to reach out

Hi there, im new here at dev.to.

Im here to improve my current web development skills by reading posts and discuss with you all about it. And hopefully publish something that can help others as well!.

Also excited to meet all of you and share some thoughts, i would say im an introvert, im one of those guys who rather stay at home and code than go to a party and socialize face to face.

Hello, I'm happy to be here at dev.to.

I just learned about this site, and it looks like a pretty great place for developers to connect. I'm a full stack developer and teacher.

Most people who know me would probably guess that I am an extrovert because I am usually leading a discussion or class of some sort, but I think that I am in reality an introvert because I usually prefer having time to myself.

I just started getting into fine woodworking, it's a great way to get away from the computer for a bit and to relax.

Hi there!
I'm new here, but I'm also fairly new to development! I wanted to do this for a long time but didn't, because of 'reasons', until I figured out the only reason was me being a chicken. So I jumped! Fast forward a year and I can call myself a frontend developer at the age of 30.
Because my journey is still ongoing, I'd like to learn a lot more, meet a lot of people and see where it takes me: I'm part of this community!
Oh yeah, I would say a social introvert or an ambivert. I don't mind talking to people, but it takes away all my energy.

Hey there! I'm Ayoub. I'm a Data Engineer and I work mainly on massive data sets trying to get sense out of them, structure data and process streams of data always faster. I work with technologies such as Spark, Kafka, Hadoop on distributions like Cloudera and Hortonworks. I'm now initiating myself to AWS services.
I love functional programming and I've been coding in Scala for the last 3 years.

Finally, I also give trainings (in corporations) and courses in two universities here in Paris.

This platform is awesome and I'm willing to write posts as well as learning from others'.

Cheers!

I've been following Dev.To on twitter and liked the discussions and suggestions. I write code - designation and languages keep changing though :-). Hope to add to the platform and learn more.

I'm not good at writing articles/blogs (introvert), hope to get feedback to improve myself.

Hi everyone! I am Pau and I'm a C++ software engineer (and I've been working with Kotlin the last few weeks). Google Now has shown me different articles of my interest recently, so finally I signed up and joined some discussion!

Hopefully I'll post something around here soon, I have some things I would like to share with the community!

Read and implemented some of the ideas in Jochem Stoel's "V8Ception". Had some questions so came here, joined and asked.

Was strongly introverted then was persuaded to become a Christian. Jesus has since taught me, through his word and Spirit, how to be more extroverted. Is there a word for what lies between the extremes of intro- and extro-?
