stop glamorizing getting into tech !!! “you can learn coding by yourself in x months & earn 6 figures” this shit is HARD 😭 ppl don’t talk about how hard it is to stay consistent & motivated 💀 it’s definitely doable, but requires a lot of hard work 😤

i want to go to a tech conference just so i can talk to tech bros & see their reaction when i use java & javascript interchangeably

chatgpt is getting really scary, but at the same time it’s AMAZING learning with chatgpt is a HUGE benefit, u don’t have to google shit anymore just ask chatgpt & look at code examples. ask shit when u don’t know what something does, & as a result increase ur learning pace

don’t be scared of it, embrace it & use it to ur advantage

the tech industry is fucking BRUTAL 😭 i wrote an article about my 1st year in the tech industry so far (not pretty at all) i also talk about why ive been MIA, what ive been through, & the lessons ive learned so far check it out! https://t.co/xuf958pbdi

tldr; - getting laid off - got rejected at every interview - there is such thing as "not knowing enough to get a job" - what ive learned from this experience - what im currently doing

friendly reminder that gpt won’t fucking take over ur job !! it just helps u be more productive & efficient dev jobs still need all the logic that goes on behind the scenes that only a human with knowledge & experience can provide idk bout dev rel tho….😭💀🤣

i realized once again that the only way to succeed at this self-taught coding thing is CONSISTENCY you get way more from being consistent & motivated than from learning a lot of material in bursts of energy

literally @pikacodes is my wanna be content creator pretty, funny, & smart literally got it all best of luck to you ale 🍺😘

i really don’t know how entrepreneurs and tech content creators do this shit 😭 its awesome how they gain the courage to turn on the camera & be interesting + educational…really a SKILL that gets you pretty far hope that can be me some day🤞

BTW im not saying don’t work😭 im saying leave space to grow and increase your knowledge/ skills im basically saying leave room to explore, maybe do an internship or apprenticeship & find out what u really like, instead of diving deep enough that u wont be able to get out 🥲

i went through lot of interviews, & while my social media presence did help get me that interview, my technical skills were SHIT so it was & still is hard PLS make sure you know the general amount of shit required in the industry before you get that shiny new job.

of course, you’ll have to take that step some day…but leave time to learn/improve until you reach your ultimate goal take it from me. i took the first job opportunity & was unable to grow my skills due to work, so when i suddenly got laid off, the job search was HELL 😭

unpopular opinion/advice: DO NOT take the first FULL-TIME job opportunity that comes your way while you’re learning to code (or if you’re not ready) chances are that you’ll be overwhelmed with work & stop your learning journey for a while (NOT GOOD) to focus on ur job

happy valentines day to all my single programmers 💀❤️ have fun coding/working i know i will🤣

ps. big thanks to @karlclement for giving me a chance to shine🤩

it’s been like a month since i started with them, but i wanted to announce whenever my first job was done😆 here’s the very first article that i wrote for @codexbuild 👇 https://t.co/iTf1erQt5z

GOT A GIG AT @codexbuild !!🍾🎉 after months of being laid off & job searching + doing whatever comes my way & failing, i finally found something i actually enjoy doing!!❤️ it’s a company that focuses on code ownership & improves working in dev teams😆
