So, when you get in touch with a user directly, it can make you feel something like: “Ah, I may be doing something for the world. It’s good to live.” https://t.co/RmmmnDo6yS

As sharing is fun, I have a little #python #script utilising #Pandas to pull together data provided by the London Stock Exchange: https://t.co/0odBOBNIsP

This allows me to pull together a dataset showing a company's market cap over the last few years.

'from its earliest days, “automation” has meant the mechanized squeezing of workers, not their replacement'

Today is the last day of my job 👀 in a week time I’ll be an automation software developer in a whole new world 🎉

Just apply for the damn job. White dudes have been applying to and getting jobs that they’re not qualified to do for literal decades so just fucking hit submit on the application.

Something simple, but elusive to describe.

What it feels like to be hooked on an idea and coding into existence.

I try to capture what it's like and the main stages I feel myself go through.

Every now and then I sub to YouTube music to get my fix of live recordings. I miss live music a lot, and watching this whilst I wait for code to run is good for the soul.

I can relate to this story a lot - but for me it’s #Python. The ability to focus my busy mind on something and create something that didn’t exist prior is good for my nerdy soul.

@rkulidzan It’s super useful when switching to JavaScript and things like that with the add one. Do check out the live share stuff as well - so awesome being able to share your virtual environment with someone and they don’t have to install anything.

"Why Solo Developers Should Never Take the Easy Route" by @CodeGareth https://t.co/b7sTUDbDss #selfimprovement #selflearning

[Paul Hudson @twostraws]

Normalize saying "I don't know."
Normalize saying "I was wrong."
Normalize saying "I just learned that."

It's not that hard, folks.

Just used the word gargantuan in an email and didn’t need auto correct. #win

[Gareth @CodeGareth]

When #coding solo, it's super tempting to avoid doing the things you know you probably should be doing.

Here's my take on things you shouldn't avoid to make life easier for future you.

The people side of programming is interesting. #Code is written to be ran on computers but readable by humans.

How you manage the creation of it impacts the success of it.

Checking out my #HackerNoon profile after a little break. So cool to see in total this amount of time has been spent reading the little things I've put out to the world.
