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.
Hey Tyler!
Happy to see you join the friendly community of developers.
