I was rejected from a programming bootcamp so I learned to code on my own. Then I was rejected from 50+ dev jobs until I found the awesome folks at

. Now I get to help developers everywhere use

I used to be terrified of raising my hand in class so I'd write down word for word what I was going to say the night before and force myself to participate.
I caught up with an old professor today and apparently she thought I was super outgoing.

It's a day that ends in y so I guess people are arguing about whether you need a CS degree to be an engineer.
I don't have a CS degree and I'm doing alright.
Plus, the world would be a very boring place if everyone had the same CS education. We need diverse perspectives.
