    5 years ago I taught myself how to write my first β€œHello World” app. Earlier this year I led and completed a major, international data engineering project. And now I’m ending 2019 with an acceptance letter to MIT’s MBA and Masters of Engineering dual degree program. πŸ‘πŸ½πŸ™ŒπŸ½

    Prior to MIT, every tech job that I applied to either ghosted or rejected me. After I was accepted to my program and updated my LinkedIn (mind you, haven’t even started classes yet), the same recruiters bombarded my inboxes. The game sucks. But until it’s fixed, play it.

    I’m reading Extra Focus by @adhdjesse, and I can’t put it down. I’ve finally found someone that explains exactly what’s going on in this ADHD brain of mine. Highly recommend to people with ADHD and partners of people with ADHD.

    Let me get this straight. @Tim_Walz took on ANOTHER job as a coach of a middle school track team to pay for a child's lunch debt... and then later made lunches free for students in his state??? I will go to war for this man.

    Hiring a Chief Diversity officer just to say that you have a Black or Brown person in the C-Suite but not giving them the budget, headcount, and power to actually impact the business.

    Hotel Mousai in Puerto Vallarta. Absolutely amazing 10/10. Splurge for the concierge service if it’s your first time in the city.
