@tom_hirst Great thread! Thanks for sharing. I can definitely relate to that fear of putting yourself out there. It’s a lot scarier in your head then when you actually do it.
@CodingParamedic Are you applying online? If so the process is pretty soul crushing. Even with 1 year of experience I still had a response rate of 5% on my online applications. So it’s probably not you. Just play the numbers game or use connections. Good luck friend!
The University of Florida is getting rid of their Gator Bait chant due to the history of black children being used as gator bait. A positive move met by disdain from the older generation who are resorting to name calling, as they seem to be unable to make a cohesive argument smh
Hi, I'm Jess 👋
I've been let go in the Mozilla layoffs.
I'm now free 2 days/week for contract work in developer relations, management support, hiring or strategy for startups.
FAQ in thread.
RTs or leads so welcome💖 #MozillaLifeboat

Day 100 of #100DaysOfCode. Today I worked on making my app look pretty. Also I finally finished the challenge! I want to say thank you for all the support and encouragement the community has given me during this challenge. To anyone still doing it, keep going! its worth it!
@tapleysj Thanks! Your so right. It’s important to look back at how far you’ve come before you you start thinking about how much further you still have to go.
