Been rehashing my skills as of late.

Got a good amount of exercises in today!

The "itch," is slowly coming back!

Slack is so annoying.

I put everything I had into graduating, and even more into my search. Applied to multiple positions daily, contacting recruiter after recruiter, actively worked on my coding skills, and still have nothing to show for it.

8 months.

I graduated from my bootcamp at the end of October last year, and have yet to still find a job in the tech industry.

This job market sucks.

Ahhh Git, how I've missed you pissing me off....

If you’re interviewing for a data analyst position and they say “knowing Python/R is a plus” on the job listing…you better add an additional increase to your counteroffer if you know the fundamentals 😂

Same thing applies for any bonus skills you know when applying to listing

Be leery of people that only clap for you when they think they can get something from you. Once they realize they can’t milk you, the support disappears.

One difference between a smart programmer and a professional programmer is that the professional understands that clarity is king. Professionals use their powers for good and write code that others can understand. -- reading Clean Code

Most of the code you find on google won’t automatically work for your solution anyways…so it would be hard for people who can’t code to get away with it.

[Kierra | Data Conversationalist🎙 @iamKierraD]

Petition to ban live coding interviews where you aren’t allowed to use Google.

Most of being a dev is Googling, copying/pasting/modifying code, and debugging so it’s super unrealistic to make people code on the fly with no external resources.

This past weekend my brother and I met a guy who works for the state of MD. He told me that he can connect people in MD who are looking for jobs with free training programs for HVAC, welding and other trades. They can also help get criminal records expunged. Please retweet.

Sending a special thank you to Special Prosecutor Joyette Holmes. Without her the ⚪ DA would've let the now convicted killers of #AhmaudArbery off Scott free. This is a prime example of the value of Black prosecutors.

@acemarke Appreciate the info! I'll have to check it out!

Slowly falling back in love with #FrontEnd work using #Javascript, tapping into these #React & #Redux libraries!

These rabbit holes are gonna be the death of me 😅
