Also just put up my first #OpenSource PR to improve accessibility of @quilljs RTE toolbar! 🤘 Several long-standing issues related to this on their GitHub.

Really excited to be working towards becoming the resident accessibility expert at my job! So satisfying to improve our product experience!! #webdevelopment #accessibility

Brain is feeling extra soupy in the new codebase today. Send help or more coffee 🥴

[Claire Fields @claire__codes]

@Janitastic Definitely! It's been a learning curve but I am working in react so it's not too unfamiliar. Lots of pair programming on my first couple tickets and the Sr on the team is very available and helpful

[Claire Fields @claire__codes]

In week two of my first job and can absolutely say that "find all references" and "go to definition" is 90% of what I've been doing in the codebase 😂

[Claire Fields @claire__codes]

@coder_krystal Congrats! Amazing!

[Claire Fields @claire__codes]

@o___b_ I'm also happy to look over your resume, do mock interviews, whatever!

[Claire Fields @claire__codes]

I'm a software engineer?? Seems wild to say. Somebody pinch me

[Claire Fields @claire__codes]

@o___b_ I got a ton of rejections! It is really really hard. I know everyone says it, but networking really is the way. Focus on 4 really good job apps a week. Especially if this is your first role, making a connection and being a kind human will get you far!

@NikhithaPatre You got this!! 💪

Terrible technical interview yesterday... JOB OFFER TODAY!!

[Claire Fields @claire__codes]

@coder_krystal November 1st! I'm glad I get a couple weeks to fully relax without the job hunt stress :)

[Claire Fields @claire__codes]

@coder_krystal Congrats!!!

[Claire Fields @claire__codes]

@dotslashsimran Lots more details on my previous tweet, but I want to say again that I did NOT get/accept a job offer from the place where I had a terrible interview! It's a different company! The terrible one was fullstack mid-level CS trivia for entry level FE...

[Claire Fields @claire__codes]

@LilyCourtneyP @coder_krystal You got this!

[Claire Fields @claire__codes]

@GoloisaNinja @RoccoSangellino Totally, couldn't have done it without those sweet sweet browns

[Claire Fields @claire__codes]

@FlosWebdesign No haha different company, much better fit!!

[Claire Fields @claire__codes]

@Puritwt My last tweet has some more details, but basically it was 60 minutes straight of what felt like mid level full stack CS trivia for an entry level role. I was told that BE exp was not required up front 🙃

[Claire Fields @claire__codes]

@TheLoveDuckie Just graduated from my bootcamp a couple weeks ago but have been applying for 8 weeks or so

[Claire Fields @claire__codes]

@Ajaygetbusy Thank you! Haha I mean, maybe sleep and save that psych for the morning! There is a light at the end of the tunnel. I literally cried yesterday because that interview went so poorly and then got this call today!

[Claire Fields @claire__codes]

@coder_krystal I should specify, NOT at the place I had that awful technical with lol
