Since I’ve been MIA, here are some tech updates from my life:
- I started a new role in January and now I’m owning a product in React/Redux and working with API’s in Python
- I have been playing around with kinetic paint to create interactive art

Just interviewed with a company that offers you the choice to either do a 60 min live-coding technical assessment or a take-home project followed by a walk-through of the code.
Wish more companies would take this approach.

I love when Senior Engineers are willing to go above and beyond to explain things to Junior Engineers (me).
Knowing myself, I ask A LOT of questions and have a specific learning style and the engineer on my team is AMAZING af.

My 2021 in review:
- I began my exciting career in tech
- Increased my salary by $40K+
- Hit my savings goal
- Lived in another country for a month
- Moved to Brooklyn with 1 roommate (instead of 4😅)
- Started therapy + improved my relationship with myself.
It's been wild.

As engineers, do you guys ever have that moment where you go to use the platform for the company you've been working for and think:
"Well shit, I BUILT THAT".
Had that moment today.

As much as I appreciate people DM-ing me, I think it's highly inappropriate to DM and ask me to fund your learning or buy you a laptop.
You don't know my financial situation. Nor am I required to respond to you.
Please don't continue messaging me asking me for money. lol

Asking for help is a huge part of your job as a developer.
You either ask the Internet for help or you ask a friend or colleague.
Don't wait too long, especially if you don't have a path forward. The best engineers will always be open to helping.

It's been a year since I decided to quit my job and switch careers 🕒
I finally sat down to reflect and write about it 👩💻
This is my story. I've included tips & lessons learned along the way 🤍

An observation:
Out of the countless interviews I’ve had so far, not once have I been interviewed by a woman on a technical live-coding interview.
Is this not a problem???

Sometimes I sit back and reflect on all the things that didn’t work out that I wanted SO BADLY.
And realize that I definitely dodged a bullet.
Sometimes things happen for you, not to you.

I've been employed as a Front End Dev since February + it has taken me 9 months to really feel confident taking tasks on my own with minimal help.
That wouldn't have happened if I didn't ask questions in the first place.
Everyones timeline on how they learn is unique to them.

Live-coding makes me extremely anxious and panic and forget everything I know.
I withdrew in the middle of a live-coding interview because I blanked out and the interviewer was like "That's a first" lol

I now understand why we put the <script> tag at the bottom of a file and all that jazz that boosts performance.
Focused on the Critical Rendering Path and learned that DOM + CSSOM = hybrid render tree which parses the HTML & CSS on a webpage 👀

Being intimidated by Git often slows down my work bc I mess up when committing and it takes a long time to fix it.
So I figured properly learning it would be useful to me
✅ Section 1-3 of Git & Github Bootcamp
✅ Refresher on terminal commands

I'm experiencing a point in my career transition where I feel like I made a mistake making this transition.
I'm passionate about tech but I'm getting a little discouraged constantly hearing that companies are not hiring early career devs.
Any advice would be helpful 😭

Some advice needed ⁉️
When you build a customized website for a freelance client, what is the best way to teach them to maintain it?
Especially if I’m choosing not to use a CMS (Wordpress)?
How do I go about this at all?
This would be my first potential freelance client.

When you come from a non-traditional background into tech, you definitely see things from a different perspective and there are SO many advantages to that.

I would much prefer to do a take-home than a live-coding assessment. They’re not fun and the stress that comes with them is also not fun.

Junior engineers are often given a bad name bc we require more resources/time.
But you don't realize how much you're changing someones life by taking that chance on them, teaching them the way, + growing the industry.

I’ve been struggling with getting excited about this coding career thing for a while - but recently I started asking myself “why” I got into it in the first place.
Creative coding. P5.js. ART made with tech.
So it’s time get back to it and build what I actually want to build ⚡️
