To introduce myself - my name is Valentina Cupać, and I'm a Founder and Technical Coach @ Optivem I had worked as a software developer for several years, mainly in enterprise software development (.NET and Java). I really cared about code quality. The turning points point for me was discovering TDD and Hexagonal Architecture - and from then onwards, I never looked backward. The biggest challenge I faced in companies was that university programs don't really teach best practices, and employees in companies don't have an opportunity to learn best practices - aside from their own self-education. So we end up just multiplying the spaghetti code. The result is a vicious cycle - many senior developers who have several years of experience in making software work, but not in making maintainable software, and no one to teach the juniors how to code well... This was one of the reasons why I became a Technical Coach, to help companies build teams with high-quality foundations.
I created this community so that together, we can make a difference in software engineering professionalism across the world. It's about pushing forward the idea that quality and speed go hand-in-hand, there is no tradeoff. |

@ythirion thanks for the intro. The following is a nice formulation "only way to work is by considering people as individuals in their own right" -> what impact do you see in shifting the thinking from thinking about resources to seeing people as individuals? |

@PCreations thanks for the intro, esp. since you're well-known on LinkedIn, I see your posts almost every day. I'm interested to hear more about your story in TDD / Hexagonal architecture / DDD - how did you discover it? Did you find out by yourself or you saw it in practice? Also thanks for recommending Wealcome Slack (cc @mica16) - it's an amazing community. |

I've always been passionate about architecture. I first discovered unit testing in 2013 during an internship. Then, from one thing to another, I discoered DDD and all the related things. In 2016 I read Clean Architecture, I found it waaay to complicated at the time, I was struggling because I was coding in Javascript, without classes, without types, so I needed to "translate" from OO to a more functional way, and on the frontend by the way ! This make me discover hexagonal architecture, TDD, and it tooks me one year and a half full time to put it all together. Since that, I keep learning, practicing, and trying to share it along the way :) |

My name is Dalton and I'm a software developer for several years working with Java (main), PHP, Javascript, Typescript and Go and now the things that I want learning more is code with quality, best practices, patterns (SOLID and cia) and architecture (Clean Arch, Hexagonal) and good Tests (TDD, BDD and etc.). After many years working we see this items above very important to delivery new features fast and well, the software is always change if you want scale fast you need a very good architecture. So i want contribute and learn more! |

Hi! My name is Irwansyah from Jakarta, Indonesia. I am a practitioner of OOP, Design Patterns, SOLID Principles and DDD. I used to practiced the wrong way of TDD and I stopped since it is so messed up. I am planning to migrate to pure functional programming but I found it hard to switch the mindset and learned all the required basic knowledge of pure functional programming. |

Hello all, My name is Tiago, from Lisbon, Portugal. I'm a Software Engineer currently focusing on .NET stack. I spend two thirds of my day thinking I'm an imposter, and the rest learning(discount the sleeping). I'm passionate about building scalable and maintainable software, but I always feel I have much to learn. Joining the community to learn and also to contribute. |
