@agentm831 I moved from academia to tech. The similarities have not been lost on me...

I got a long way in my previous life simply by virtue of being one of the very few people speaking plain English. Hoping the same is true this time around 🤞

Why is "the chosen one" always a teenager? We're really gonna put the fate of the universe on someone with an undeveloped prefrontal cortex? Give me a story with a chosen one who is a 42 year old mom that has already seen some shit and is totally out of fucks to give

@kaydacode My 6yo gatecrashed a group feedback session yesterday. I’ve only been in the job four days 😱😂

I feel lucky that I seem to have landed in a company that is welcoming of people with caring responsibilities. I shouldn’t have to feel ‘lucky’ though, it should just be standard!

[Linzi Carlin @CarlinLinzi]

Very happy to be on board! I had a great first week.

(I’m the one in the top left in case you can’t tell from my Twitter pic 😉)

[Linzi Carlin @CarlinLinzi]

@ClaireWhoCodes I’m glad you’re coming out the other side - what awful timing!

[Linzi Carlin @CarlinLinzi]

@ClaireWhoCodes Thank you. I’m scared 😂

Excited, but scared.

[Linzi Carlin @CarlinLinzi]

Today was my last day as a stay-at-home parent. It’s been a long eight years 😂

I guess tomorrow I can officially call myself a software engineer.

@ClaireWhoCodes Happy homecoming day! 🎉🎉🎉
The cake looks awesome 😊

[Linzi Carlin @CarlinLinzi]

@ECSYoungCodes @WomenCodersBot I can only work in silence. I wear noise-cancelling headphones most of the time. Music would drive me insane.

[Linzi Carlin @CarlinLinzi]

In cakes as in programming, I am function over form every time. Both cakes and code should come with a ‘tastes better than it looks’ caveat. It was bloomin’ delicious though.

Happy Birthday @_andy_lord_ !

@ClaireWhoCodes @agentm831 I have no English genes, dark hair, tan to olive at the merest hint of sun. I *still* hate the heat. Give me some nice jacket-weather with a light breeze and maybe a little drizzle 😆

@SantamariaCode Wrote my first lines of code in Basic in 1988. Did a lot of other things for a lot of years (decades). Started learning again last year. I start my first dev job the week after next. It is *never* too late.

[Linzi Carlin @CarlinLinzi]

@SantamariaCode 32 years 😂

[Linzi Carlin @CarlinLinzi]

@ClaireWhoCodes Amongst other things. I feel like saying, if you can’t tell that this is inappropriate, you should probably stop tweeting. Or actually just stop interacting all together.

But hey, they’re ‘only trying to help’. Such nice guys 🙄
