I just finished my full-stack project. Barista Wanted is a platform that connects coffee shops with baristas in need of emergency work. I'm so proud of myself 🎉🥳 Link to the project: baristawanted.cyclic.app #100Devs #WomenWhoCode

Awesome, Anna Pastushko is now offering free coffee chats 🎉 Check the list of all the wonderful humans offering them at github.com/fharper/coffee… If you can offer free coffee chats, on the frequency you want, when you want & the length of chat you want, add your name to the list 🫶

@SBenhoff Happy birthday Shelley 🎂🎈🥳

Happy Birthday to me 👑

@AhmedHHamdyx @leonnoel Congratulations 🎉🎊🎉🥳

Soo... I did it, I got a job as a Software Engineer! 🚀 Thank you @leonnoel for your time and for starting 100devs, you changed my life, and I'm so grateful to be a part of this amazing community.🙌🥳 #100devs #communitytaught

@SBenhoff Hope you feel better soon

I'm in the hospital with covid. Fuck. 🤒

In the last 11 years, I've failed more technical interviews than I've passed If I had to estimate, I would say definitely over 30 companies have rejected me after technical assessments Here are 7 takeaways I've learned from failing these interviews 👇

Hussien is such an amazing mentor, really knowledgeable and approachable. If you haven't already talked to him, book a slot with him on @ADPList, join his Twitter space and check out his course on "getting your first coding job" 👩‍💻

@alexisintech @leonnoel Congrats!! 🎉🎈👏

Yup. I frickin did it. I’m employed!! 🥳 I’ve been dropping some hints.. who can guess where I’m going to be working? 🤔🤭 I am so grateful for @leonnoel and all of the time, thoughtfulness, and passion he puts into the #100Devs community. I was an active member of the second cohort since class one, back in January 2022, and it has completely changed my life. Six figure salary, remote, flexible schedule, unlimited PTO, aallll the yummy benefits 😮‍💨 and an absolutely remarkable team working on an amazing tool. 🥹 It’s sappy af but that little brown girl with a dream to escape poverty, 25 and a half years later, is finally going to get everything she’s ever wanted. And I’m gonna give it to her.

@LLCoolChris_ Absolutment! Aussi, ne payez jamais que le minimum sur votre carte de crédit! J'en vu trop les gens qui ont dépensé plus qu'ils ont gagné et ont été lourdement endettés. 😨

@fharper I love Chipotle too! We actually have them in Toronto 😋 Just in case you crave for it next time 😏

It's a good thing we don't have these in Canada, I always have to go once when in the US, one of my favorite & only I like fast food here. (@ Chipotle Mexican Grill in Washington, DC) swarmapp.com/c/eyVFl51Nt2O

@AlexRobinett @sararrdev Oh no, I completely missed the space. 😞 Would also love to know how you landed your role. What did you prepare for the interview? Hope to see your blog post/twitter threads or even hear you on the tea spills!

@sararrdev All good Sara! I’m definitely thinking about making a blog post or maybe a potential thread. Are there any questions or topics you would like to hear about?

@elliezub I also really enjoyed reading the squirrel man story in Eloquent JavaScript 🐿️😆

Day 60 of #100DaysOfCode Today I finished the objects section on Codecademy and JavaScript.info. Next, I’ll move on to the Intermediate JS course on Codecademy! Here’s the link: codecademy.com/learn/learn-in… I also started reading Chapter 4 of Eloquent JavaScript and did the first exercise. I really liked the part about the man turning into a cute Squirrel 🐿 I learned about: - getters & setters - Object.keys(), Object.entries() & Object.assign() - Optional chaining ‘?.’ - Symbol type Also got another chance to practice reduce() 👇

@hussien_coding Amazing space, super insightful 🤩

A common mistake I see from people looking for their first coding job: They'll ask someone if they have a job and if they don't they leave it at that What they should do is ask them for intros to other people in their network More quality connections = More job opportunities

@chefsarahDOTca Omg what a surprise! I looked into coding fabric and found a bunch, so tempted 🤩

@Neuroleptique_ IKR! There's a surprising amount of tech fabric out there! I even found some softshell a while back!

@AlexRobinett Would be interested to join your space, what time are you planning on doing it?

@Neuroleptique_ Haha I may do space this weekend if there’s enough interest. Send me and DM if you would like a coffee chat!

So now that I’ve signed the offer letter…. I can officially say I’m going to be a software Engineer II! This has journey has been a long time coming. I couldn’t have done with without #100devs Community! Thanks @leonnoel for his time, resources and care!

@AlexRobinett Same here, would love to learn about your journey 🙌

If anyone wants a Coffee chat more than happy to set one up!

@AlexRobinett @leonnoel Congrats!!! 🎉
