I turned 40 today! 🥳💃🏽 I was 37 when I enrolled in coding bootcamp; 38 when I started my first dev job. Why do I speak, workshop and share in the Tech community? To encourage all women, esp Black/Brown & mothers like myself: it's NEVER too late to build the life you desire! 🧡

I will pay the @AltSchoolAfrica application fee for 5 mothers in Nigeria who want to become engineers! I became a developer at 38 as a mum of 2. Motherhood need not hinder you from starting a lucrative career! Reply below to be considered. Will choose randomly Thursday 12pm EST.

After bootcamp, it took 5+ months to get my first dev job. I got exactly 1 offer and accepted it with no negotiating. 3.5 years later, it took 3 weeks to land my current role. I received 3 offers, and negotiated the best offer to get paid even more. Growth in Tech is REAL! 🚀

So many developers’ craving is to one day be able to post a setup like this on social media. So that people can repost the pic and comment high congratulations, that they have finally made it. === If this isn’t part of your desire or goal, there’s NOTHING wrong with you.

And STOP shaming #MTBF students for getting scammed. It was NOT wrong for them to believe the “get 6-fig tech job in 6 months” selling point. I attended a 6-month coding bootcamp and went from 48k to 96k (base & bonus) in less than 6 months. It’s NOT GREED. It’s HOPE for better!

This was my portfolio as a brand-new coding bootcamp grad. This was the portfolio that landed me my first developer job (together with my Resume and LinkedIn profile). My top skill was Ruby on Rails. All my portfolio apps were Rails apps. I knew ZERO JavaScript. You’ve GOT this!

LOVE the simple argument for using Early Returns that @JoshWComeau presents in . ✨ Option 1 is harder to read; the returns are nested, and 1 return is placed far from its associated condition. 😫 Option 2 is cleaner, more readable & more maintainable. 😎

Before making 6-fig in Tech, I kept a budget where I allocated $0 each month to most columns. I practiced telling money where to go, even though I had none. Which enabled me not to lose my sh*t when tech money entered. Create the room for what you want before you get it. 🧡🧡

Part of what hurts me about the #MTBF scam is the apparent use of the “I’m Black supporting Black people so trust me” angle. Black people are WORTHY of high quality. High-quality services, high-quality products, high-quality help. The whole drama just galls me honestly. 😪😠

@7thAllison From my experience… its not just feelings that makes the care linger. Its when you’ve experienced someone. So experienced them and loved them in that experience. Then that care lingers even though the relationship is gone. Its true.

Alright! This will be a learning-in-public THREAD of my from-scratch React Weather App! (thanks @jolenemango ) Rebuilt my app after doing my best to map my feature flows (see pics of my drawings) 🙌🏾 Next: fix some bugs, then start building the Outfit Recommendation feature. 😅

A huge lesson I have learned in my 40s: Sometimes you are destined to be the villain in someone’s life story. Why? Because you didn’t enable them. Or turn a blind eye. Or carry the burden of their irresponsibilities. Or lie for them. Or pretend they are who they aren’t. So

Absolutely NOTHING wrong with using a template for your portfolio. Don’t be burdened by these shallow, instigating takes. Your portfolio is for the presentation of your best work. Keep it clean and simple, easily navigated, and by ALL means: use a cool template to save time! 💕

By interacting with the people posting that “8+ hours of sleep is for weak failures”, you’re making them money. That’s ok. Just don’t foolishly implement their bullsh*t “advice”. Get enough sleep. Regularly. Diligence != hrs of healthy sleep sacrificed. Get enough sleep.
