@HMRCcustomers Hi, I’m currently unable to notify HRMC of name change (marriage) due to needing to confirm my identity through Gateway account. Which I’m unable to do because my previous documents have been invalidated when I got my new passport. Please let me know what I can do.

Good morning, @HMRCcustomers are here until 8pm to answer your general queries on Twitter. Please don't post any personal details.

@codenameashley Same, it’s really sad 😔 I have not so fond memories while living there. Met up with one of my childhood friends again and she said it (the treatment) hasn’t changed much

Grew up in Qatar, it’s all shiny and rich but hides terrible secrets behind closed doors. Sad to see people defending it. If you’re a woman of colour and queer, avoid this place 100%.

@rothecoder Hi, I can totally relate to this 🥲 One thing that helps me is I break it down into small chunks. I start with something I can do quickly while doing Pomodoro. I follow a lot of devs that share their works and that makes me want to code/do mine. You're not alone!

I've been stuck in this ADHD paralysis where I'm dying to code, but I can't. The pressure to get my portfolio updated, build stuff for the job hunt.. everything is ready.. I just have to do it. But I'm frozen. Don't even wanna touch my laptop. ADHD tech folks, any advice? 🥲

I got my ticket for Leeds Creative Skills Festival this 17th November! I sadly missed the tech one but looking forward to this one. #LCSF22 #codinglife

When you’re doing so much you kept forgetting to post your progress 🫠 During the past couple of weeks: ✅ I’ve had an ADHD assessment ✅ Finishing up SASS/SCSS course ✅ Redesigning a business website using Squarespace ✅ Finished my Wordpress portfolio! chrissyelwes.co.uk

@parulsingh1995 Yes absolutely, it helped me feel I’m not alone. Thank you ❤️ ❤️

Best thing ever. Public advocacy is so important to me. ❤️

@JamieMooreDev @parulsingh1995 Thanks Jamie! Definitely looking forward to that 😄 if you don’t mind me asking, did it also help your focus in terms of coding if ever you did have trouble before your diagnosis?

@Chrissy_codes @parulsingh1995 My life made so much more sense when I was diagnosed! Hopefully you get some answers soon 😊

Finally got the courage to get an ADHD assessment last Oct. Passed the first test (didn’t even need test 2) so off I am to wait for a diagnosis. This might be life changing, we’ll see. Many thanks to @parulsingh1995 without whom I would still be in denial of my symptoms 🫠

@AutisticCallum_ Thank you for sharing, I can relate to this so much! It is nice to know I’m not alone with this 🙌

@codenameashley Dang, hope they are soon 🥲🥲

@SallyMachochi @ManchesterCodes Hi, I’ll have to ask @ManchesterCodes if I can. It’s from their coursework

@Chrissy_codes @ManchesterCodes Any chance you could share the code?😭

Day30/100 #100DaysOfCode @ManchesterCodes discussed about High-level JS: Getters and setters, static methods, scope and closures. I also coded my first virtual pet using #javascript !! 🐶🥳 Refactored my code too. So far so good! #100DaysOfCode #WomenWhoCode

@codenameashley Was thinking the same when I handled one! How are you enjoying it?

@erica_wenger You got this 👑, smash it, slay it 💅

What’s the one-liner you repeat to yourself when you need motivation/need to convince yourself you can do anything you set your mind to?

And in that moment, loop finally makes sense 👁️👄👁️ 🤯

@randomrecruiter @DeniTechh Was on the fence specialising on just FE for now in fear of missing out opportunities as a junior. This is a relief to hear.

@DeniTechh Yes. I place more people that either are exclusive to front end or back end. They make a ton of money also. FE, BE, FS - there is no wrong answer. All have high pay and great career trajectory Do what fits you personally the best

@izaye_visuals Thanks Izzy ♥️ will do

@Chrissy_codes Do it, it’s super fun! And DM me if you ever need a buddy :)

OK TAILWIND CSS. I SEE YOU. 🤓 I've been practicing using Tailwind CSS and it is life-changing hahaha. Damn, responsiveness is so much easier now!! 🥲😎

@codenameashley Jelly! 😋
