Interesting thread about bootcamps and what matters to be fit for the job (and a good life):

[OpenTechSchool @OpenTechSchool]

@ewolff @onthecookie @SZ @railsgirls @Devoxx4Kids Great thread! Will share with our learners. They are often quite confused as bootcamp participans and have a lot of questions around these topics.

[Dr. Maik Ro ➡️🦋 @maikroservice]

It’s me! ;) thank you to @ellen_koenig, @bastianalbers, @xMartin, @ppirtmohsreg and all the other people that introduced @OTS_BLN to me, thank you for being part of my life. :)

Irregular reminder that today, like every week we're doing our Web Frontend Co-Learning online :) Join us if you want to discuss or need help with any HTML/CSS/JavaScript topics, ALL levels welcome <3

[OpenTechSchool @OpenTechSchool]

A bit in late but there is another very special thanks we want to do for the contribution of most of the design of the new OTS website: Thank you very much @UTCplus8 We couldn’t make it without your help! 👏👏👏👏✏️

I get asked more and more about how to break into data engineering, especially from data scientists who discover their love for coding. I want to provide some pointers in this thread. 1/

Write about what you learn. It pushes you to understand topics better.

Sometimes the gaps in your knowledge only become clear when you try explaining things to others. It's OK if no one reads what you write. You get a lot out of just doing it for *you*.

[OpenTechSchool BLN 💙 @OTS_BLN]

Our friends are hosting a panel about switching into a tech career 🙌

We know there's a lot of interest for this in our community, too.

Tip: @FirefoxDevTools highlights what elements have scroll overflows! Useful to find what DOM nodes have an unexpected scrollbar.

[OpenTechSchool @OpenTechSchool]

😂 One of the hardest thing software engineers have to do continuously is to decide what level of code quality is appropriate for the task given.

You need to consider the bigger picture. It also comes with experience.

[Cain Maddox @ctrlshifti]

i keep refactoring instead of actually coding so i wrote "Perfect Is The Enemy Of Good" on my whiteboard but had to rewrite it because the G looked weird

Pro Tip for devs:

if you are stuck at any problem for longer then an hour please take a break/nap and get back to it later

you will get the solution in less then 5min 😀

This really works for me all the time and should be for most of the people :)

[OpenTechSchool BLN 💙 @OTS_BLN]

Online Web Frontend Co-Learning going strong. We have new learners from southern Germany and Spain 💚

[Martin Stadler @xMartin]

Forms are really a lot of work to implement and hard to get right. State management, error handling/validation, UX...

For most people in the process they are trivial and boring and we often don't get recognized for our achievements here.

Congrats!

We're moving all Co-Learnings in Berlin to some form of virtual Co-Learning. We're still deciding how to do that exactly. #FlattenTheCurve
