Before joining Dwarves, An held the position of Tech Lead at a start-up and remote Frontend Lead for a company in the US. After giving himself 3 months of rest, An joined Dwarves' Gravity project, becoming a full-time engineer and lead builder of the project.

To An, things would become quite boring if they were only focused on Frontend. If you get too familiar with one fixed thing and don't expand into many other aspects, work will no longer be interesting. He has worked in many roles, from Android to Web, from Backend to Frontend. So the title Full-stack Engineer is somehow still true for this Senior.

### Learning by doing at Dwarves
Starting at Dwarves remotely, I dove into LLM/AI. Remote work gave me focus, but being in the office changed everything. Learning here doesn’t happen through formal meetings - it’s quick, spontaneous exchanges with everyone, from CEO to teammates.

### Learning by watching and doing
Observing how others, like [@Tom](https://memo.d.foundation/contributor/tom) or CEO, handled challenges taught me more than online guides, my learning feel more real. One session where my mentor optimized code gave me insights I couldn’t have gained from remote tutorials.

Seeing everyone solve problems in real-time helped me grasp things much faster. Working on projects with input from different team members broadened my view on how to collaborate effectively.

### The value of being face-to-face
Learning here happens naturally. Everyone shares what they know through the work itself. No formal lessons needed - just quick exchanges and hands-on collaboration. Being in the office helped me sharpen skills that are harder to develop remotely, like thinking on my feet.

### Growing with the whole team
The hybrid setup offers the best of both worlds. I can focus remotely but get that extra boost from being in the office when needed. The goal is simple - helping each other improve and push forward, with support from the entire team along the way.

**Life at Dwarves #6** is all about how Hieu Vu ([@vdhieu](https://github.com/vdhieu)) picked up Golang as his favorite programming, and how human factor happens to be the key element that ties him with Dwarves.

Hieu Vu is currently a Backend Engineer, who was formerly an intern at KMS Technology Corporation. Through Aharooms project, his interest for Golang began. After 3 years, it’s not just the programming language that he was fond of, but also the human and culture at Dwarves that led to his decision: To go further with Dwarves for its human and the exclusive learning culture.

### Python, Java or NodeJS? Golang!
“Back in 2017, Japanese companies were highly rated. People strived to go for it. Of course, I wasn't an exception. I tried my luck by applying for a Japanese tech firm. They required an entrance test using the Golang language, which I had no idea about. They gave us a 1-week deadline to learn and complete the exercise. I failed, obviously. But I had no regret. That test, by all means, sparked my lucky charm with Golang.

### Joining Dwarves? A roller coaster ride.
"2017 marked my first milestone with Dwarves. One of my friends asked me if I wanted to be part of a team that worked on cool projects and surrounded by like-minded peeps. I said yes, without a second thought. Looking back now, it must have been fate. Because my 2017 version was still figuring out how to finish the university degree. Joining any firm as a full-time job can't be the right move.
