Big news! I received my first full time dev job offer on Friday and accepted it! I'm so excited!! . It's been a LONG journey but it was worth the sacrifice. Just keep showing up, day after day, after day. #100DaysOfCode #CodeNewbie #journeyToDevJob #webdev #javascript #tech.

Did my first pull request on a bug fix on one of our enterprise apps. That’s a big milestone since a year ago I was still pounding tutorials at 4:30am. #CodeNewbie #reactjs #TypeScript #web #tech #LevelUp #dev.

Officially working from home with everything going on. Not sure how I feel about this change since I learn so much from being around others all day long. It automatically forces you to learn more as a newbie. #dev #WorkFromHome #webdev #tech

My developer station after a week and half is coming along nicely. I was told I should get a plant. 🌱#webdev #codingEveryDay #developer #tech #devsetup #dev

Yesterday was my first experience in an agile retro. Lots of new things. Didn’t expect to get so many props as the new guy! #webdev #javascript #codingEveryDay #developer #tech #agile

Spend some time this morning coding in #reactjs and messing around with the dad jokes API. I had plenty of laughs while along the way. #newDev #webdev #coding #dev #CodeNewbie.

After my first week as a #newDev I'm going to give some advice to anyone that considers themself a #CodeNewbie. Its WAAAAY different than expected and its super overwhelming. Take what you think that #devlife is and toss it aside. Instead, go in with a completely open mind.

First day in the books. my head hurts a bit. One of my team members told me as I was headed out that I shouldn’t expect to feel productive for a couple of weeks. That made me feel so much better walking out today. That’s a relief. #newDev #webdev #coding #dev #CodeNewbie.

Headed in for my #firstday as as a professional software developer. Getting ready to take in information like drinking out of a fire hose!! . #journeyToDevJob ends here! #devJob starts today. Let the learning begin! . #webdev #javascript #codingEveryDay #developer #tech.

Got my #reactjs Black Jack game to total out correctly. Had to move the ACE values to the end evaluate the points correctly. #100DaysOfCode #CodeNewbie #journeyToDevJob #webdev #javascript #codingEveryDay #developer #tech.

Best way to evaluate an array of cards where an ACE could be a 1 or it could be an 11 based off the final total of the array? . That is where my mind is at this morning. #100DaysOfCode #CodeNewbie #journeyToDevJob #webdev #javascript #codingEveryDay #developer #tech.

So an ACE in Black Jack can be a value of 11 or 1. My logic is incorrect as this should equal 16 and NOT 26. 🤨. #webdev #javascript #codingEveryDay #developer #tech

I discovered in #reactjs that I can use a conditional operator within an onClick to change what function I need to call based on state. Super useful! Now I only need on button to do two different things. #100DaysOfCode #CodeNewbie #webdev #javascript #codingEveryDay #developer.

I'm currently working on building a #reactjs Black Jack card game utilizing the Deck of Cards API. I managed to get the hand to total up this morning. #100DaysOfCode #CodeNewbie #journeyToDevJob #webdev #javascript #codingEveryDay #developer #tech

I start my new dev job on February 17th. Sometimes I feel like I need to cram studying up to that day like its a test, but I have to remember they offered the job to me as I am, not what I think I should be. #CodeNewbie #journeyToDevJob #webdev #javascript #codingEveryDay #dev.

Playing with API's today. #100DaysOfCode #CodeNewbie #journeyToDevJob #webdev #javascript #codingEveryDay #developer #tech.

This morning #devkitty. Keeping warm on a 17 degree Iowa day.

I'm liking this API thing and I'm seeing the possibilities. I was just playing around with the Deck of Cards API but I'm thinking I might make something with this. #100DaysOfCode #CodeNewbie #journeyToDevJob #webdev #javascript #codingEveryDay #developer #tech.

Starting a project to get a taste of #reactjs with APIs using the Deck of Cards API. #100DaysOfCode #CodeNewbie #journeyToDevJob #webdev #javascript #codingEveryDay #developer #tech.

#Javascript async function plus await is a cleaner way to write code that is asynchronous but looks synchronous so it’s easier to follow & looks nicer. Great video on this: .. #100DaysOfCode #CodeNewbie #journeyToDevJob #webdev #developer #tech.

I have to remember that my #journeyToDevJob was just a journey to get to that point and the learning train never stops. In fact, it's going to be even more intense from here on out. I'm going to continue to post up what I'm learning and what is clicking for me. #webdev.
