@quebecween @amandamcodes 1, but, it takes a modest amount of mental resource to continuously maintain the imagery.

where do you fall on the aphantasia scale ❓❔❓❓❓

@_jsolly @Madisonkanna Personally I think it’s good to have a long term goals as it shows you’re thoughtful about the future. But, there definitely exists people that are genuinely good people who don’t necessarily think that far ahead. Especially so when you’re junior and still figuring things out.

@Madisonkanna I had an interviewee who couldn't even utter a single word when I asked, "Where do you see yourself in 5 years"? But they did really well in the technical interview and ended up being a great hire.

It’s absolutely wild that being good at interviewing for the developer job and being good at the actual job are two completely separate skills.

@nat_snacks $42/mo is kind of pushing it for me. I’d consider it cause it saves me a lot of time. But, I’m not sure if it saves enough of my time to make it worthwhile. I’d have to see just how much I can fully utilize it first since it’s still new to my workflow.

Why would you pay $42/mo for chatGPT? (Honest question.)

@amandamcodes Oh, and I was okay in the end. Had temporary amnesia and forgot my name/identity/stuff for 1-2 hours, but, otherwise was able to take a flight home the next day.

@amandamcodes I agree, it’s scary. No matter how careful you are, sometimes you just can’t avoid stupid people. Something similar happened to me during an internship years back, even made the news: cbc.ca/news/canada/sa…

This happened to me once in daylight when the walk light was still normal and not even flashing or in countdown! Driver was over the line and wasn't paying attention. I get so paranoid at crosswalks now because you really can't trust drivers and they can do some serious harm.

@amandamcodes You and me the same. My website has a mountain of dust lol.

I know I'm long overdue to start applying for jobs (still employed at my first dev job but feel like there are better options out there for me now) but I feel like I have so much work to do with updating my resume/website/portfolio.

@makneta How data can be passed down to children via props and vice versa. High level overview of what a component life cycle looks like.

❓What a candidate for React Junior Developer must know❓

@EngineeringLynn Wow. Just wow. I’ll make sure not to buy the dictionary he’s been working on 🙂. On a side note, congrats and excellent job on the article.

Morning everyone! Woke up to hashnode sharing my article, which is a huge blessing, but I also saw a cute little comment underneath saying no engineer should call themselves one if they don't have a degree. How kind.

@_ncrypt_ @tron It’s definitely not one size fits all. You can have 10 hour long days. For those that fatigue more easily can be issue. Might make it harder to do things during the weekdays after work. This potentially poses issues for parents. But, I do love embracing the optionality of it.

@tron unpopular opinion but 5 day work weeks are just fine the way they are.

Any #CDNtech companies you know that have switched to a four-day workweek?

@tron Just started.

@catmcgee I think it was intended to be a currency. But, in actuality from what is observed so far, too volatile to be a currency. Between the two choices, it’s closer to a store of value based on how people have treated it. It also had a third use case of being an index/benchmark/marker.

Do you think Bitcoin is a currency or a store of value?

@SarahxCodes Lost my job during the pandemic, though, it was a high paying one, my industry was in decline since the 90s so the outlook wasn’t too good. If I wanted something equivalent I’d have to leave the country. But, truthfully wanted to go into tech years before, was good timing for me.

@CodeNewbies Joined Juno College in midst of a pandemic. Went in for knowledge. Got knowledge. Also came out with excellent career coaching, buddies, and a great portfolio. Having people to share experiences and bounce ideas off really helped. Passed 5 round interview, now full-time dev.

@sijia_m Yes.

I finally built my new PC last weekend!! She’s very pretty and I’m very happy. A total overkill but I said I would treat myself once I become a FE dev. Gotta keep my promises. 😌🙏 Still using my old GTX 970 but one day I will get a white GPU to match with the aesthetic.

@taliyaio @heatherpayne @junocollege At a glance, it can be pretty enticing. This was certainly one of the things on my mind when I was deciding. But, obviously there’s the trade-off with being able to thoroughly teach subjects. I think people just need to be aware of how highly sought after FE skills are.

I’m becoming somewhat baffled that people choose competitors over @junocollege, because our programs are just so good. It must be our messaging/marketing/positioning. We’re doing our own research, but in case you have ideas…help me see what I’m missing?

Cool, haven’t been, going to give it a swing. React Conf 2021 conf.reactjs.org/tickets/vhok

As an aside, the cohort responsible for some of my favourite slack emojis 😂.

Small world. A member of dream beans #cohort9 joined my team last week. Excited to have another Juno alum onboard 😂.

@amandamcodes Glad you’re okay!

I'm at Yorkdale mall and we just got evacuated inside one of the storage rooms because there's a shooting. Just Toronto things.

@heymiguelb Haven’t dug too deep. But, it’s an interesting development while on the subject.

Wonder if there's appetite for a juno discord. Much easier to create drop in drop out voice / video.
