Someone please tell me the global IT outage was because a white hat hacker cleared out student loans

@BuildwithJoy Haven’t tried it, but I’ve heard Gino’s East is good ginoseast.com/magnificent-mi…

I know this is might offend people to ask BUT what are the chances there is a deep dish pizza in Chicago that’s lactose free ? Or vegan cheese? … my dairy sensitivity has been getting worse and resulting in hives more often & in in denial. I got welts form a tortellini 🥲

@inababi Tiff has been one of my favorite coaches coach-tiff.com

Decided that half of my tax return goes directly into self-care and self-development this year 💪🏼 leveling up. One thing I’m looking for is an executive coach that is knowledgeable on ADHD strategies or is specialized in it. Lmk if ya got recs

@joshdholtz @NSSpain Got mine too!

I’m doing it… I’m going to @NSSpain as an attendee this year ☺️

Most creative t-shirt @DeepDishSwift goes to @swifteves Hire him. He’s good people.

Just wrapped up my 30 day writing habit challenge with #ship30for30. Loved it and I plan on continuing with it.

Top 6 Traits I'd Look for When Interviewing a Senior iOS Developer to Join a Collaborative Team 1. Do they prefer working solo on features or seem open to pair-programming with other developers? 2. Are they comfortable asking for clarity? 3. Do they have the ability to think out loud while working through a pair-programming session? 4. Do they listen to suggestions during the pair-programming interview? 5. Do they enjoy being involved in the feature planning process? 6. Do they take accountability when giving examples of past experiences? I'm not looking for perfection in any of these traits - just a willingness to practice them.

@CZenti The 90-9-1 ratio refers to 90% of people lurk on social media, 9% engage/participate, and 1% actually create. In theory, engagement would be higher in paid communities and cohorts, but it doesn’t seem like it is

@BuildwithJoy Yup! We call them bestie date nights!

What’s your favorite tool for managing personal tasks?

Want to hire the best candidate for your team? Give your candidates a chance to excel throughout the entire interview process. Otherwise, you'll miss out on some great talent.

3 Interview Strategies for Building a Strong iOS Team with Complimentary Skills 1/ Include a coding exercise AND technical interviews 2/ Look for skills that COMPLIMENT your team's skillset 3/ Think about what NON-TECHNICAL skills you're looking for in a teammate

Leaving myself margin for error brings me peace of mind. Example: Gonna start an “#ADHD tax” fund. If I impulse spend (or splurge 😂🙃) or make a mistake that cost me or forget something that cost me, that’s ok, I’m leaving myself margin for error 💪🏼

Anyone in #Chicago have any favorite mariachi they’d recommend?

Investing in yourself is pointless if you don't implement a strategy that helps support your long-term consistency. Answering these 3 questions has helped me re-think my strategy, build a supportive environment, and stay consistent (most of the time 😅). 1/ Which types of personal development content do you consume? • Clear and concise actionable tips • Broad actionable advice • Hearing about other people's lessons, reflections, personal stories 2/ Which types of personal development content ACTUALLY HELPS YOU STAY CONSISTENT? Actionable tips can help people get started, but they can also cause overwhelm. Some people find motivation in learning about other's experiences and journeys. I've found a dose of both to be the most helpful for me. 3/ In what environments do you thrive more? • Solo • Accountability buddy/group • Community that shares wins/struggles/advice • In person and/or online Going solo has made it easy for me to get started, but it's also been the strategy that's kept me the least consistent. I'm learning the sweet spot for me is: 1/ Joining a community that either shares a similar aspiration to mine, or we have similar values in common. 2/ Finding a small group within that community that hypes each other up and cheers each other on. 3/ Connecting online works fine, hanging out in person is a huge bonus. Find the sweet spot that works FOR YOU. Don't hesitate to change things up when your strategy starts feeling less effective. Share which personal development content traps you've fallen into and which have been the most helpful. No shame here!
