Why is "the chosen one" always a teenager? We're really gonna put the fate of the universe on someone with an undeveloped prefrontal cortex? Give me a story with a chosen one who is a 42 year old mom that has already seen some shit and is totally out of fucks to give

Very happy to be on board! I had a great first week. (I’m the one in the top left in case you can’t tell from my Twitter pic 😉)

Today was my last day as a stay-at-home parent. It’s been a long eight years 😂 I guess tomorrow I can officially call myself a software engineer. #WomenWhoCode #DEVCommunity

In cakes as in programming, I am function over form every time. Both cakes and code should come with a ‘tastes better than it looks’ caveat. It was bloomin’ delicious though. Happy Birthday @_andy_lord_ !

Some eye-opening facts that highlight the persistence of the gender gap in tech: https://t.co/cdqvwKyJmB #womenintechnology #womenintech #womeninSTEM #stemwomen #gendergap

It’s alive (I hope)! Raspberry pi a-go-go! Beyond excited right now 😆 #RaspberryPi #WomenWhoCode

PSA: if I want advice, I will ask for it. Explicitly. Your opinion is not required. #WomenWhoCode #mansplaining #NiceInternetGuys

Got nodemailer working. No more errors. According to my console mail has been sent. Check inbox. No mail. It’s been sent, but where? 😂😱😂😂 #100DaysOfCode #WomenWhoCode

Today went: Assume I understand a thing -> Realise I don’t understand -> Fall down rabbithole -> Wonder if maybe I don’t need to understand it after all I can totally write JavaScript forever without once using reduce() right? RIGHT?!??? #100DaysOfCode #WomenWhoCode

Having spent the last eight years in a very woman-centred world, it is just starting to dawn on me what it’s going to be like as a woman in the tech field. *rolls up sleeves* *digs in heels* Bring it on. #womenInTech #womenInStem #WomenWhoCode

It turns out I am not better at layouts using swift/Xcode than I am at layouts using css. Who’d a thunk it? #100DaysOfCode #WomenWhoCode #swift

I’ve been rubbish on the tweeting front, and couldn’t decide what to do coding-wise either. I’ve come to the conclusion that I should do something just for fun for a few weeks, so I’m learning swift. I *will* build that perfect #ravelry app one day! #100DaysOfCode #WomenWhoCode

Finished up with basic Java on Codecademy. I was really scared i would find it difficult, but it was fine. Lots of familiar concepts from php/JavaScript. Found a Java course I bought on Udemy 2 years ago and had forgotten, so moving on to that now! #100DaysOfCode #WomenWhoCode

I have lost track of what day it is (both in #100DaysOfCode and generally in life). But I covered some more Java today. I quite like it! Definitely feeling the urge to #LearnAllTheLanguages #WomenWhoCode

I got the job!!! Now struggling to decide what to focus on for the next four weeks before I start. Carry on with React, improve my CSS skills, get some more algorithm practice? Yup, this morning I started learning Java 😂 #100DaysOfCode #WomenWhoCode

I had the day off yesterday (unless you count the coding test part of my interview). Today I had a play around with React again. I think I’m getting my head around navigating the component tree! #100DaysOfCode #DaySomething #WomenWhoCode

Roped @_andy_lord_ in to help me out with some photos for a presentation. I think he’s enjoying it more than I am 😉

I decided to confront the things that scare me, and dive headfirst into an explorations of data structures and algorithms. Pleasantly surprised to discover nothing scary about bigO notation. Next up: recursion! #100DaysOfCode #WomenWhoCode

I really ought to be writing a presentation, doing interview prep and practising coding challenges, but instead I am messing around with MongoDB. At least I’ll have something to talk about 😆 #100DaysOfCode #WomenWhoCode

All it took this morning was a quick google and I fixed my undefined variable problem (body-parser doesn’t work with multipart/form-data - I know that now!). Lesson learned - don’t sit staring at a problem when you should be in bed! #WomenWhoCode #NodeJS
