The level of decorum, good mannerism, courteousness, and civility affiliated with tech bros is why I won’t and can't date outside of them. Such respectable men.
Apparently, as someone looking to grow in tech, you are required to write code, build projects, share your knowledge through writing, contribute to Open source to gain experience, participate in tech programs, network, etc. All of these are time-consuming.

Lmao I was asked to give them a story of a time where I was facing a particular difficulty in accomplishing a task and how I went about it. I told them I eventually just dropped the task.
AltSchool changed my life.
Not necessarily on teaching me how to code but influencing my sense of urgency and providing the necessary strain that pushed me to my limits and out of my comfort zone for my growth.
I recommend.
Started learning Vue.js and created a mini application using GitHub API to fetch my GitHub repositories and specific data for each repo. Also implemented wildcard for 404 pages.
Constructive criticisms are welcome🤭

Just dropped my first article on FreeCodeCamp🚀
For the inquisitive minds, have a read to see how your code works behind the scenes and let me know your thoughts.
You may know how to code in JavaScript - but do you know how it works under the hood?
This can help you grasp how the JS engine optimizes code, and help you improve the code you write.
Here,

explains the JS engine, runtime, and more.
My favorite part about being an AltSchool student was the ecosystem. Where else would I have met
@Joel_Ojerinde
😩, one of the brightest devs I know. Was an exceptional AltSchool student, a first-class electrical engineering student interning with MTN, interning remotely as a...
My programming knowledge is the most haphazard thing. JavaScript there, little React here, little Vue there, even a bit of Python in the mix. I can’t wait to be done with this school so I can have all the time in the world.
Imposter syndrome won’t even let me do this but let me try🤧
Built a functional counter app with custom counter hook with increment, decrement, reset, setValue functions for my
@Altschool
second semester exam project. I also implemented a page to test error boundary.
Don’t be a lone techie, you won’t go as far that way. Be part of communities and have your peer-to-peer network. It gives you access to opportunities, value, and friendships.
Hi Twitter
I’m a writer, I write technical and non-technical articles, this tweet is for my non-technical articles. I’ve written a lot on a range of subjects. If I can research it then I can write it. I write well too.
Do you need writing for articles, proposals, websites,…
Can someone who has been in the space long enough hold an important space on prioritization or time management as a techie? How do you even manage all these? How do you prioritize these since they're all important? At what point do you prioritize some activities over others?

Exact thing I was thinking; watching movies on Netflix, as per free access to Wi-fi, eating lavish, gisting with everyone in the house, that you forgot a whole ass child! Your primary assignment there.I’ll take it as betrayal.
If you want to succeed in this tech space, you need to be unfailingly proactive and dogged. Don’t casually do things. Be strategic and take action. There’s high competition and someone somewhere is working twice as hard.
Woke up early this morning to study, only to discover my cord had been forcefully cut, my window net torn, my apartment burgled, and my iPhone missing.
Disadvantage of living in off-campus apartments. What a way to start a new week and a new month🙂
Went back to the very beginning. Completed all the CSS courses on FreeCodeCamp, watching lots of YouTube videos, reading a CSS book. I’m eating all the way to Nuxt.js, slowly and steadily.
Once you learn JavaScript properly you’re almost unstoppable. Pair it with the right frameworks and you can either be a frontend, backend, full stack, or mobile developer.
Just learn JavaScript well and you’ll easily learn any other thing.
Finally accepted that I’ll never truly experience the joys of relating to a particular ethnic group. Born and bred in the west(Lagos), my mum is Igbo(Enugu), my dad is a Northerner(Kaduna), I don’t speak any language well.
I feel like I’ve missed out and I don’t belong anywhere.
Look at you! Making progress in spite of all the odds. Give yourself a pat on the back and lift your chin a notch higher when you reminisce on how far you’ve come this year✨
First time reading a hard copy book in a long time. I always read on my device. I figured out hard copy books make you concentrate harder, read faster, and prevent book hopping.
Here's to reading more physical books🥂
I’m so excited for Monday cos I’m resuming back to work☺️☺️. Spent the weekend revamping my LinkedIn, GitHub, Linktree and resting. It’s going to be a long, fun week!
In early 2022, looking at code was intimidating and unnerving. It felt like gibberish and seemed impossible.
Fast forward to 2023 and it still seems impossible but at least there’s more clarity now and it doesn’t look as intimidating anymore.
Progress is progress✍️
I just submitted my entry for the

Contributing to Open source projects is actually real work. First, you have to spend quality hours reading up to understand the documentation. You might also need to learn a technology or tool in order to contribute. That’s why you should always own what you do and reference it.
