(I love coding, I love agile working, and I love working from home; but most of all I love the rescue dog we adopted now that I'm home all the time 🐶)

[Iona Rose @IonaRoseDev]

Popped back into this account to say hello! It's been over a year since I quit my job and started @theSchoolOfCode, and yesterday I passed my 6 month probation in my new role as a software developer. Still the best decision I've ever made 🎉

[Iona Rose @IonaRoseDev]

@rfornal Thank you!!

#100DaysOfCode day 11: team sesh today to mop up some stray tickets and oil the cogs in our presenting faces ready for tomorrow! So nice to work in a team for a few hours after weeks of working alone. Fixed some bugs with extra error catches 🐛🐞 and smoothed some CSS ✨

[Iona Rose @IonaRoseDev]

@devozair Haha thank you!

#100DaysOfCode day 12: launch day yesterday! Scrabbling to remember something we finished building over a month ago, but lots of fun 🎉
Back to work today having fun with CSS animations!

[Iona Rose @IonaRoseDev]

#100DaysOfCode day 10: so much CSS today, built a couple of layout modules to speed things up ⏩

[Iona Rose @IonaRoseDev]

#100DaysOfCode day 9: started a new feature today, the UI designer asked for a pretty funky animation so lots of CSS learning and experimenting today!

[Iona Rose @IonaRoseDev]

#100DaysOfCode day 8: polishing the styling on yesterday's components with subtle animations and transitions for that professional feel ✨ feeling a lot more comfortable in the codebase, also typing things that had been missed! #TypeScript

[Iona Rose @IonaRoseDev]

#100DaysOfCode day 7: my code went live this morning and nothing broke ✨ today i started working on the next feature - researching API subscription plans, building a responsive skeleton layout for the page, and working with the UI designer to finalise details

[Iona Rose @IonaRoseDev]

#100DaysOfCode day: already fallen behind 😩
Raised my first real life PR today, scary waiting on that review but excited to see what I've built hit screens around the world!

@EmilyAdams2003 The hiring team from the company most likely if they're going to be cloning your project

[Iona Rose @IonaRoseDev]

#100DaysOfCode day 5: cleaning up the documentation for my side projects. Very serious and professional business 🕴️‍♀️

[Iona Rose @IonaRoseDev]

@EmilyAdams2003 Definitely helps when applying for jobs! Useful to include instructions for running locally, for example, so that they can check out your project

[Iona Rose @IonaRoseDev]

#100DaysOfCode day 4: started building a little TypeScript react app with some fun APIs I've been meaning to try. Lots of applications went out today too! #pleasehireme

[Iona Rose @IonaRoseDev]

#100DaysOfCode day 3: revisited some code from back when I first started learning react, looking with horror at things I was so proud of at the time!

[Iona Rose @IonaRoseDev]

@devozair I DMd you :)

[Iona Rose @IonaRoseDev]

#100DaysOfCode day 2: started the day with a practice tech test and then wrestled with a div on my portfolio which I cannot center for the life of me 😩 sometimes I'm a developer, sometimes I'm not!

[Iona Rose @IonaRoseDev]

#100DaysOfCode and we go again with day 1! Side projects coming out of my ears at the moment, trying to get some bits finished before I start anything new. Today I've been doing battle with CORS errors and losing 😥
