Getting Started

Welcome to DevHub, a community built by developers, for developers. Whether you just graduated a bootcamp, have been writing code for 15 years, or are somewhere in the middle, you're in the right place. Here's how to get settled in.

Step 1: Join the Discord

Click the "Join Discord" button on the top navbar. You'll land in #welcome. read #intro, it has everything you need to know in one place.

Step 2: Read the Rules

Head to #rules and go through the community guidelines. It takes about 3 minutes and saves a lot of confusion later.

Step 3: Grab Your Roles

Head to #reaction-roles and react to the message to self-assign roles based on your tech stack like Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Go, Rust, C/C++, and many more. It people find you when they need someone with your skills.

Step 4: Introduce Yourself

Drop a message in #introductions. No pressure to write an essay, just tell us your preferred name/nickname, favorite languages/tools/frameworks, areas of interest and your hobbies outside tech. People respond. It's a good place to start.

Getting Help

Post in a relevant channel with your code, what it's supposed to do, and what's actually happening. Context matters, 'it doesn't work' gets fewer responses than 'it returns undefined when I expect a string'. Check out our How to Ask guide for the full rundown.
