Doxxmedearly Posted March 16, 2020 Posted March 16, 2020 Ckey/BYOND Username: Doxxmedearly Discord Name: Eels! The Musical#9351 Position Being Applied For: Coder Past Experiences/Knowledge: Dreammaker is my first foray into coding, started in 10/2019. Examples of Past Work: Aurora PRs Notably: Hallucinations overhaul (Still in the works, final testing soon) Tea/drinks update Simple animals update (They don’t hunt for food or eat like black holes + you can brush them) Space A/C QoL changes About a dozen bugfixes and about the same amount of other small additions (Wallets holding rings, crayon updates, curtain/flap construction, etc.) Additional Comments: There’s a few things working against me here: I’m obviously very new to DM and coding in general, and there’s many gaps in my knowledge. Git is still a terrifying entity to me, even if I’ve mostly got a handle on it. I’ve never worked on a dev team or coded group projects, so that will be an adjustment. Some terminology thrown around baffles me and I'm always asking Geeves and Matt for help. However, I feel that I’ve been able to learn quickly, taking on larger projects such as the hallucinations redo in a relatively short time. I feel like that PR in specific highlights that I’m not afraid to ask for help from those more experienced to guide me in the right direction and am receptive to them pointing out my mistakes. I don't depend on others to fix my bugs. I try to help other contributors where I can with easier projects, through advice or code reviews. I’m pretty active both in the community and on git. So while I’m still getting used to things like coding stylistic standards, avoiding spaghetti, and am unfamiliar with many parts of DM, I feel that being part of the dev team would both allow me to improve my own skills and further my ability to do fixes and add features for Aurora.
geeves Posted March 16, 2020 Posted March 16, 2020 Voting for dismissal. I'm kidding. Bring her on the team, we need more good people.
MattAtlas Posted March 16, 2020 Posted March 16, 2020 This application has my support. A good person OOCly and a good contributor that I have been helping since their first PR. I think you are capable enough for a trial.
niennab Posted March 17, 2020 Posted March 17, 2020 This has easily been a long time coming and I am happy to see you've made the application! Since meeting Doxxmedearly I assumed they already were a developer given the volume of work that they have done and do for the server. +1
Scheveningen Posted March 17, 2020 Posted March 17, 2020 (edited) make this de jure shitcoder a de facto shitcoder NOW but seriously they've done a significant amount of small changes which add up pretty well. i support this app wholeheartedly Edited March 17, 2020 by Scheveningen
furrycactus Posted March 17, 2020 Posted March 17, 2020 I've seen Doxx actively working on a lot of things, and they seem quite invested in the work that they do. That aside, they're also a really nice and amicable person OOC, and our team could only benefit from them being on it too. Absolutely has my support, 100%.
