Hello, I'm new here and I was wondering if there were other students on here. I'm fine with talking to anyone but I can't help but feel too intimidated to talk to experienced professionals.

student here 👋

Year 12 student

Year 3 student & working as a junior

Good to know I'm not the only one :)

What do you study ?

I have a job as a programmer but I definitely wouldn't say I'm professional 🤣

And welcome!

@alwaysmpe what does it take to be a professionnal ?

Hey man don't feel intimidated, we've all been (or at least a lot of us) where you are! I'm officially a student but i passed my exams. Feel free to mention or talk to me without any pressure :)

Currently college dropout; working in IT back home in The Bahamas until i find better work

@rajilsaj I would say part of what makes this industry great is the flexibility. I'm a DSP math guy more than a programmer tbh. There is also little distinction between hobbyist and professional. I roll up to my job in shorts and t-shirt 9 months of the year.

@alwaysmpe ok I see what you mean

Computer Engineering Major, Applied Math and Computer Science Minors 3rd year 😁

@rajilsaj I'm just getting a general computer science degree but i like to practice on my own as well. Recently I have been learning javascript, but I also know java and c++.

@linuxxx I wouldn't mind that. I've taken my computer science classes online and none of my friends know programming so I don't really have anyone to talk to about it.

Been in the business for 17 years now... #stillAStudent

Don't be impressed. None of us know everything.

I am a professional in the sense that I get paid to code... but I'm very unprofessional 😂 and I'm a student.

Student here, soon to begin with my first paid job

Am a student also

@komugi if you have student email you can get github student pack. It has some helpful thing with 2 year free unlimited private repos

Student here.

Welcome fellow student! Rest assured, the professionals here don't bite

HS student here:-) I do get payed to code (freelance), but I am in no sense very experienced nor professional😂

Every kind of dev here imo. Im learning bith code and thanks to dev rant geek jokes as well. Makes me feel more profesionnal

Student too 🤓 besides everyone keep learning even after have passed every possible exams

@komugi welcome to devrant...you are gonna love it here

@komugi Alrighty, if you have any questions etc you can tag me of course and/or if you'd like to chat somewhere we can probably figure something out :P

@linuxxx Also, my apologies for assuming you were a guy 😞

Ya, last year undergrad.

Seriously though your avatar is so cute!

@linuxxx oh no it's fine, it's a common thing to say. I didn't even notice that tbh.

@komugi It looks so tiny and cuddly haha :P (don't take that wrongly by the way)

@jpoissant that's true, I don't intend to stop learning.

Another student here! Welcome!

Hi from a cs student

College freshman here!! Taking up Game Development.

Student here, as evident by me procrastinating on devrant as oppose to studying for exams.
