Self-taught devs, tell me your success stories. I want to be reminded that it can be done.

Phew. What a year. Finally delivered my personal project and couldn’t be more proud. 🥰 Excited to be back in the mix of things here! What’s the latest scoop?

I’m so tired. I’m ready to be a trad wife and just worry about my sourdough and baseboards. Who needs databases and property modifiers.

What are you gifting the mothers in your life this weekend?

Cursor is now free for students. Enjoy!

It’s almost time for ✨Swift Craft✨ I can’t wait to see England for the first time and so many of your lovely faces again 😍

At a cafe the other day. I asked for a “cup of joe” and then laughed at myself for asking for coffee like that. The waitress laughed too and then came back with a glass of orange juice. I said nothing, I was too embarrassed for her not knowing and for myself for being so old

Well friends, I wanted to share with you a side project I’ve been working hard on developing. It’s been going really well and I’m really excited to see the end product 🥹 If you want to help prepare for my baby here’s a registry link! https://t.co/MxnFD0nk2Q

I’ve been so deep in QA at my role my Swift skills have deteriorated and I’m having feelings about it. I need to find a project I’m passionate about to lean into code again.

I think I’m officially over twitter

Having a team spread across the country is wild. One member is still recovering from the NC hurricane and is freezing, the other had to evacuate due to the California fires.

But why am I trying to do a weeks worth of work in one night 😭

Imposter syndrome is common among developers. Remember: every expert was once a beginner, and growth happens step by step.

Anyways. It was a beautiful full circle, similar age of learning a valuable skill from someone unexpected and building a sweet relationship as I was having one close with my grandma. It really is the tiny moments that touch hearts. 💕

It tickled my heart, I’ve been leaving room in expectation that it might have just been something to do in a boring moment and not an actual interest. It was cool to hear she’s been seeking it out still. /6

I got the approval and have since finished building the little kit. I just asked when I can gift it to her and was ecstatic to hear lil cuz has been asking her parents for knitting supplies for Christmas. /5

After all the memorial services and gatherings settled down, I was still thinking about that little moment. I learned to knit from a babysitter around the same age. I latched onto that creative outlet. It was so rewarding. I asked her mother if I could gift her a starter kit /4

It was a happy, quiet sweet bonding moment amidst a really heartbreaking time for me losing my grandmother who I am really close with. There are so many members of our extended family I can’t possibly have strong relationships with all of them. /3
