@noemistauffer @venikunche Sticky notes everywhere. I put everything in my Google calendar and immediately use up all the notification slots to set reminders for things. I use alarms for several things throughout the day. I'm unmedicated right and it's hell.

If you have #ADHD, mind sharing the best life hacks you've found and use? It can be for anything — productivity, chronic lateness, remembering things, or even to help you fall asleep.

Took a break from the development world to run off and become a fire fighter. Now I have time for both!

Does @tide or Gain get out the scent of failure better? And do you need to pretreat? Asking for a friend.

Had a great talk with a mentor courtesy of @veterati, was able to cement a game plan for my portfolio and will begin applying for jobs this month. Used promises to for calling multiple endpoints for an API, pretty psyched about that. #momscancode #womenintech #codenewbie

@BekahHW Membership at the jiu jitsu academy.

Brainstorming here: what’s the coolest present you’ve ever received?

@BekahHW Will do!

@javamazon Let me know what you think. I keep seeing angular jobs come up with one company that I would love to work for in the future, but I know 0 angular.

Just spent a bit over 5 straight hours completely focused on learning Angular. I haven't focused like that in ages! #momscancode #programming #javascript #womenintech #codenewbie #developer

@BekahHW Yep! Trying to see what I like best.

@javamazon Nicccee! Are you still working on React?

@SALTformysquid Great reminder, and timely. I struggle really hard with handling my adhd kid;s emotional outbursts. Doesn't help I deal with the same thing.

*sigh* anyone else feeling like a bad parent this week? There’s the behaviours; the emotions; and ample opportunity to fail on managing either.

I've been hacking away on @codeplatoon_org week one self-paced program for around a month now. Just getting in a small bit each day but have already learned so much. And I understand git! I can't wait to get to databases. #momscancode #programming #codenewbie #womenintech

@BekahHW @PeteCapeCod Congratulations!!! I'm so happy for you!

Who’s super excited about working on React projects and starting July 1st is gonna get paid to code???

Old article, but great explanation for why I can't "just sit down and code" when the kids are home all day. It puts it into smart words when all I can explain is "ARGHHHHHH" I'll never understand how you parents do it. gamasutra.com/view/feature/1… #momscancode #womenintech

@wesbos Every time I listen I wonder about the baby! Congratulations to you and your wife!

Welcome to the world Kit Wesley Bos! 💙7lb 5oz. We were in and out of the hospital in 6 hours. Everyone is sleepy but doing great! bit.ly/2WJxk4D

@saltnburnem Already been answered but it makes me feel like I know something so I'll say, it's an object whose state cannot be changed after creation. If you want to change it you need to reference it with a new variable, but the original will remain the same.

What does immutable mean in JS? Is that a CS term?

@BekahHW You got this!!! Best of luck in your search! You will be a great asset to any company!

You all are amazing! Last night I made a spreadsheet of everyone who’s responded or messaged me with opportunities, and I’m excited to get in contact with so many of them. Thank you to everyone who’s supported me ❤️ #techTwitter #CodeNewbie

@Martin_Adams That's such a great idea! I take so many notes when I'm learning things and do a lot of summarizing in my own words.

@javamazon I find writing about concepts, techniques and tricks on a blog a useful way to show what you know. If I were to interview someone I'd love to see their understanding in a few well thought out blog posts.

The biggest roadblock for me in the past year to being a developer is trying to design a portfolio website. I quit. I am not a designer. I don't care about colors or fonts, I just want to write the dang logic. What are the best portfolio websites for displaying my javascript?

@BekahHW @JesseRWeigel Oh gosh the portfolio is the hardest part!! I know how to do things, but being able to focus on one project long enough to finish without a concrete deadline to pressure me is hard. You've got this though. You are amazing and such an inspiration to me!

I'll admit it. The end of last week was kind of a shit-show and I was feeling imposter syndrome 100%. I'm lucky to have @JesseRWeigel to talk me through it. I'm focused on getting this portfolio up and running, so I can tackle some applications and interviews soon. #CodeNewbie

I want that RV life where we can load up the mountain bikes, the kids and the dogs and just go where we want for a weekend. That's my coding motivation. #momscancode #programming #womenintech #javascript #motivation
