    Today I hope this serves as motivation to those #codenewbies/ #100DaysOfCode devotees that it can happen. Pic on the left was January 29th, 1st day as a fast food server. $8/hr. Every day I walked home & coded for hours. Pic on the right is me as a dev, first day was July 29th

    8 hour intense interview with no breaks just to be still told I’m not technical enough. I need a break from the interview process for the near future.

    It happened. Today I was offered a Front-End Developer role and I will be relocating to Seattle. Words can't even express how I feel. I turned the pain that I felt losing my father into motivation. All of the doubts, the effort that I put in, I can now say I am an engineer. Wow.

    Today I was told on stream that I wasn’t a real developer because I use VS Code, have built my blog in Wordpress and he found a landing page I built over a year ago using bootstrap. Some of these ppl in tech get off on gatekeeping to stroke their fake alpha ego and it shows

    I repeat: You do not *need* to invest in a macbook to learn how to code. Don't listen to the biased devs, just worry about the portfolio youre building & skills you're learning

    A former friend who graduated w/ a CS degree told me back in 2014 that my chances of getting into tech would be slim to none bc I'm "not logical/technical enough" 5 years later I've taught myself how to code & became an engineer & he's asking me for advice on how to code 🤭🤭🤭

    Behind every ambitious developer is a GitHub full of unfinished side projects and half abandoned notes

    I got the job! I’ve accepted an offer to become a GRC Analyst! I’m so excited, I’ll be helping early to mid-staged startups build security programs to become compliant with standards like HIPAA, SOC2, ISO 27001 etc. AHHH

    I had the interview, I asked the hiring manager given my background & skillset how does that measure up to his ideal candidate and he said “you’re beyond it” 😅 and he said he could see me handling pentest opportunities as well as GRC. Next call is a meeting w/ the team 🙏🏽
