Developers assemble!

[Hearse Pileup]

Just wondering how many active members here are coders. I'm a full stack dev of 10 years; got my start toying around in php/html/css, worked my way from there to wordpress, laravel, baremetal linux admin, then eventually into things like React and Vue, even a little Android and TVOS dev.

Anyone else slinging code? What's your story (if you're interested in saying)? I'm interested to know.

Used to program in visual basic and a bit of Pascal leading to a bit of PHP.

Mostly I used to program directly in machine code mostly 6502 but also 6800 and Z80/8080 assembler.

I think there's quite a few on here.

Not me though. I can do WordPress but tap out at anything more complex

I started coding with Pascal and Visual Basic at college, then moved onto C++ and Java at uni. Ended up doing something completely different as a career after uni, but I still do some freelance stuff. Mainly php stuff often based around Expression Engine these days, but I occasionally turn my hand to other stuff too.

I used to do PHP but got bored with it about 10 years ago. Now I do a bit of C and C++ for mocrocontrollers for my toys. I don't enjoy it anymore but I like making toys so it's a necessary evil.

I'm a professional software engineer and an Android specialist.

This thread - Today I have mostly been using ${insert development technology here} - might give you an idea of how many of the damned frequent this place.

Didn't see what forum this was in and expected it to go badly! Not the developers I'd thought off. Next up - Urban Landlords unite!

Yeah. Not those developers. That would never end well.

Haha, wow I'm impressed!

Nice, it's good to know there's a dev community here. I don't know what I'm going to do with this information but it gives em the warm fuzzies at least lol.

Oh, I don't suppose anyone ever heard of Sukey? It's basically where I really got started. I designed and built the website for the project.

 

[Fruitloop]

C++ dev for about 20 years now

 

[existentialist]

I slung code professionally for about 25 years, up until the early 2000s, latterly mostly C and perl, doing databasey things. I mess around still, largely with python and Django, but mostly for fun. Nowadays, professionally, I debug minds, but the IDE is shit.

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

Did a bit of development. Got a degree in computing and did some web development for a college as my first big job but I ended up doing teaching there and have been doing that since. I did teach programming for a while but now it's mostly digital media.

This is actually exactly what I want to be doing. I'm told it's called 'creative coding'. All I know is that when I was a kid I wanted to be an inventor when I grew up, and playing with microcontrollers seems to be the closest you can get to that.

It's cheap enough these days - lots of open source tools, and simple/cheap hardware.

Yeah, I've played with arduino and raspi a bit, but I haven't made anything particularly useful/significant beyond blinky.

I did get an XMPP service running off a raspi at one point as a tor hidden service though, which was fun.

Mainly Terraform and co/cd pipelines these days, but a lot of python and some golang.

I employ developers. Anyone looking, drop me a PM. Currently need a shit hot Ruby/Full Stack (with RoR and React), and a Data Engineer (Python, SQL etc), also need a QA analyst but think that’s under control.
